Parker MA6450 Male Button Shock Absorber 1.91in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MA6450 is a male button shock absorber engineered for industrial motion control applications where controlled deceleration of moving loads is required. The unit features a 0.75 inch rod diameter, a 2.25 inch outside diameter body, and a 1.91 inch stroke length. Threaded at 2-1/2-12, it mounts directly into compatible actuator end caps or machine frames. The steel rod and steel body are finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Overall length is 8.85 inches, and compressed length is 5.91 inches, giving engineers the dimensional data needed for envelope calculations during design or replacement work.

This shock absorber is suited for use in automated manufacturing equipment, pneumatic actuator systems, and linear slide assemblies where end-of-travel impact loads must be absorbed to protect tooling, frames, and product. It is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and automation engineers on both OEM production lines and MRO replacement jobs. Operating temperature range spans 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct threaded installation into actuator end caps or mounting plates
• 0.75 inch rod diameter with steel construction for durability under repeated cycle loading
• 1.91 inch stroke provides controlled deceleration travel
• 2-1/2-12 thread size for secure, vibration-resistant mounting
• Black oxide finish on steel body for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Rated for operation from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade shock absorber for industrial linear motion and pneumatic actuator systems requiring a male button configuration with 2-1/2-12 thread and 1.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified maintenance technicians or automation engineers. Depressurize and lock out the pneumatic or hydraulic system before removing or installing any shock absorber. Verify thread engagement depth and confirm the compressed length of 5.91 inches fits within the available machine envelope before final assembly. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque and alignment specifications for the specific actuator or mounting assembly.
