Parker MC150H Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC150H is a male button shock absorber designed to cushion end-of-travel impacts in pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems. It features a 0.5-inch stroke, a 0.19-inch stainless steel rod diameter, and a 9/16-18 threaded body that allows direct mounting into actuator end caps, fixtures, or custom mounts. The steel body carries a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments. With an overall length of 3.41 inches and an outside diameter of 0.46 inches, this is a compact unit suited for tight installation envelopes. Licensed technicians and automation maintenance personnel are the primary installers.

This shock absorber is applied in light-duty industrial automation and pneumatic actuation systems where controlled deceleration of moving components is required. The male button style is commonly used in cylinder end-of-stroke applications, slide assemblies, and pick-and-place equipment. Its operating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F makes it suitable for standard indoor industrial environments. It ships and sells as a single unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in addition for light-duty pneumatic actuator systems and motion control assemblies requiring a 9/16-18 threaded male button shock absorber with a 0.5-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automation technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. De-energize and depressurize the pneumatic circuit fully before removing or installing any shock absorber. Verify thread engagement is complete and the body is seated flush to the mounting surface before returning the system to service. Follow applicable machine safety lockout and tagout procedures per OSHA and equipment manufacturer guidelines.
