Parker MC3325-3 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC3325-3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to control motion, absorb kinetic energy, and reduce impact forces in industrial and automation equipment. The rod measures 0.375 inches in diameter, and the body has an outside diameter of 1.25 inches. Stroke length is 0.91 inches, and overall length is 5.44 inches. Both the rod and body are constructed from steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. This component is installed by mechanical technicians and automation specialists working on actuator systems, tooling fixtures, and motion-control assemblies.

The MC3325-3 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty industrial applications where controlled deceleration is required at the end of travel. Typical installations include pneumatic actuator end stops, pick-and-place tooling, conveyor bumpers, and robotic end-of-arm assemblies. The 1-1/4-12 thread makes it easy to mount directly into standard tapped housings or with a jam nut. 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 energy absorption at end of stroke
• 0.375 inch rod diameter with 0.91 inch stroke for compact motion control
• 1-1/4-12 threaded body for secure, adjustable mounting
• Steel rod and steel body with black oxide finish for durability
• Operating range of 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits most indoor industrial environments
• 5.44 inch overall length fits standard actuator and fixture mounting envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial shock absorber applications requiring a 1-1/4-12 threaded male button configuration with a 1.25 inch body diameter and 0.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or automation technicians. De-energize all pneumatic or hydraulic circuits and lock out any related energy sources before removing or installing this component. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or jam nut as required by the application to prevent loosening under cyclic load. Do not exceed the rated stroke length or operating temperature limits stated by the manufacturer.
