Parker MC3325-1 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC3325-1 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and stop moving loads in pneumatic and mechanical motion-control systems. It features a 0.375-inch rod diameter, a 1.25-inch outside diameter body, and a 0.91-inch stroke length. Overall length measures 5.44 inches. The steel rod and steel body are finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. This unit installs where end-of-travel cushioning is required to protect equipment, reduce noise, and extend the service life of cylinders, slides, and actuators. It is sized and threaded for direct mounting with a 1-1/4-12 thread. Licensed HVAC, automation, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

The MC3325-1 is suited for light to medium-duty linear deceleration applications in industrial automation, factory equipment, and material-handling systems. It fits installations where a male button nose is specified to engage the moving load at the end of stroke. Operating temperature range is 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for most indoor industrial environments. The 1-1/4-12 thread allows it to mount directly into tapped receiver holes or standard thread-in mounting brackets common on cylinder end caps and machine frames.

Key Features

• Male button nose style for direct load contact at end of stroke
• 0.91-inch stroke length with 5.44-inch overall length
• Steel rod and steel body construction with black oxide finish
• 1-1/4-12 thread for secure, direct-mount installation
• Rated from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F operating range
• 1.25-inch outside diameter fits standard mounting clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial motion-control and automation equipment requiring a male button-type absorber with 1-1/4-12 thread and 0.375-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or mechanical engineer familiar with motion-control systems. De-energize all pneumatic or hydraulic pressure and lock out electrical power to the machine before removing or installing the shock absorber. Use appropriate thread-locking procedures per the equipment manufacturer's torque and preload guidance. Confirm stroke clearance and load alignment before returning the system to service.
