Parker MC225H Male Button Shock Absorber 0.5in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC225H is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. It features a 0.25-inch stainless steel rod diameter, a 0.5-inch stroke length, and a 3/4-16 thread for straightforward inline or end-of-travel mounting. The body is steel with a black oxide finish, and the overall length measures 3.81 inches. Licensed industrial maintenance technicians and machine builders install this type of shock absorber to reduce impact force, minimize noise, and extend service life on actuators, slides, and transfer mechanisms.

This shock absorber is suited for light-duty industrial applications where controlled deceleration is needed at end-of-stroke positions. Typical installations include pneumatic cylinder end stops, linear slides, pick-and-place tooling, and similar automation equipment operating within a temperature range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F. The compact 0.66-inch outside diameter and male button configuration make it a practical fit for space-constrained mounting arrangements on automated machinery.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct end-of-travel mounting
• Stainless steel rod provides corrosion resistance in light industrial environments
• Black oxide steel body for durability and surface protection
• 0.5-inch stroke length controls deceleration in compact travel envelopes
• 3/4-16 thread for secure, standard inline installation
• 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 industrial automation equipment requiring a male button configuration with a 3/4-16 thread and 0.25-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or machine builders. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits and relieve any stored pressure before servicing end-of-stroke components. Use appropriate thread-locking practices per equipment manufacturer guidelines, and verify stroke and load ratings match the application before mounting. Consult applicable machinery safety standards when integrating shock absorbers into automated systems.
