Parker MC3325-2 Male Button Shock Absorber 0.91in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC3325-2 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads in pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems. It features a 0.375-inch rod diameter, a 1.25-inch outside diameter, and a 0.91-inch stroke length. The body and rod are both constructed from steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in industrial environments. This unit threads in at 1-1/4-12 and has an overall length of 5.44 inches. It is sold individually and is installed by maintenance technicians and automation specialists working on linear actuator assemblies and end-of-travel cushioning applications.

The MC3325-2 is suited for light to medium industrial automation applications where controlled deceleration of moving components is required. Typical installations include pneumatic cylinder end-cap mounting, linear slide assemblies, and machine tool fixtures where repeatability and consistent cushioning are critical. The male button nose configuration allows direct contact with moving tooling or fixture plates without requiring additional adapters. Operating temperature range spans 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct-contact deceleration applications
• 0.375-inch rod diameter with steel construction and black oxide finish
• 0.91-inch stroke length with 1.25-inch outside diameter body
• 1-1/4-12 thread size for standard mounting compatibility
• 5.44-inch overall length for straightforward dimensional planning
• Rated for operation from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial linear motion and pneumatic actuator assemblies requiring a 1-1/4-12 threaded male button shock absorber with a 1.25-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified maintenance technicians or automation technicians familiar with linear motion components. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic and electrical circuits before removing or installing the shock absorber. Verify thread engagement depth and ensure the mounting bore is clean and free of debris before threading in the unit. Do not exceed the rated operating temperature range or apply side-loading forces beyond the designed axial load path.
