Parker MC150 Male Button Shock Absorber 9/16-18

Product Description

The PARKER MC150 is a male button shock absorber designed to control and cushion the deceleration of moving loads in industrial automation and motion control applications. With a 0.19-inch rod diameter, a 0.46-inch body outside diameter, and a 0.5-inch stroke length, this is a compact unit suited for tight-clearance installations. The rod is constructed from stainless steel and the body from steel with a black oxide finish. The 9/16-18 thread allows direct mounting into standard threaded ports or brackets. Overall length is 3.41 inches. Qualified millwrights, machine builders, and automation technicians are the typical installers.

The MC150 is used in light-duty pneumatic and mechanical systems where controlled end-of-stroke deceleration is needed. Typical applications include small actuator stops, tooling fixtures, conveyor end stops, and automation indexing equipment. It is suited for environments operating within a temperature range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F. Its compact form factor makes it a practical choice in space-constrained machine frames and panel assemblies where a full-size shock absorber would not fit.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct threaded mounting
• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments
• Steel body with black oxide finish for added surface protection
• 0.5-inch stroke provides controlled cushioning in compact travel applications
• 9/16-18 thread size for easy integration into standard mounting interfaces
• Rated for operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for light-duty industrial automation systems requiring a male button style unit with 9/16-18 thread and 0.5-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified machine builders or maintenance technicians. Depressurize and de-energize the system fully before removing or installing any shock absorber. Use appropriate thread sealant or lock methods as required by the machine OEM specification. Do not exceed the rated stroke or operating temperature range during service.
