Parker MA900 Male Button Shock Absorber 1.58in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MA900 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and reduce impact energy in industrial automation and motion control applications. The unit features a 0.25-inch stainless steel rod diameter and a 0.88-inch outside diameter body finished in black oxide over a steel construction. With a 1.58-inch stroke length and 1-12 thread size, the MA900 provides controlled cushioning for linear motion systems. Overall length is 7.44 inches and the unit weighs 0.87 pounds. It is installed by mechanical and automation technicians as part of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder end-of-stroke systems.

The MA900 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty industrial machinery where controlled deceleration of moving components is required. Typical applications include end stops on linear slides, pneumatic actuator systems, and automated assembly equipment. The operating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F makes this unit appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. The male button head style allows direct contact with moving load surfaces without additional hardware in many configurations.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct load-contact deceleration
• Stainless steel rod resists corrosion in light-moisture environments
• Black oxide finish on steel body provides surface protection
• 1.58-inch stroke delivers consistent energy absorption over travel range
• 1-12 thread size for secure, standard threaded mounting
• Compact 0.88-inch OD fits tight-clearance mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial linear motion and pneumatic actuator systems requiring a male button style unit with 1-12 thread and 0.25-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or automation technician. De-energize and depressurize all pneumatic or hydraulic circuits before servicing or replacing shock absorbers. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking hardware as required by the equipment manufacturer and applicable mechanical codes. Do not exceed the rated operating temperature range during service.
