Parker MC3325M3 Male Button Shock Absorber M33 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC3325M3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control applications. The unit features a 0.375 inch rod diameter, a 1.25 inch outside diameter, and a 0.91 inch stroke length. Overall length measures 5.44 inches. The M33 x 1.5 threaded body allows for straightforward mounting into compatible actuator end caps, brackets, and machine frames. This type of component is typically installed by automation technicians, machine builders, and maintenance mechanics working on pneumatic or hydraulic linear motion systems.

The MC3325M3 is suited for use in industrial machinery where controlled deceleration of moving components is required. Common applications include end-of-stroke cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, conveyor stops, rotary indexing tables, and pick-and-place automation equipment. The male button configuration makes it appropriate for applications where the shock absorber contacts a moving surface or plunger directly. It is typically used in light to medium-duty industrial settings where repeatable, consistent energy absorption is critical to machine performance and component longevity.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type provides direct-contact deceleration for moving loads
• 0.375 inch rod diameter for compatibility with standard mounting configurations
• 0.91 inch stroke length delivers controlled energy absorption over the deceleration travel
• M33 x 1.5 threaded body enables secure, adjustable mounting in machine frames and brackets
• 1.25 inch outside diameter fits standard bore and mounting hole sizes
• 5.44 inch overall length accommodates typical end-of-stroke installation envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button configuration with M33 x 1.5 thread and a 0.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automation technician or maintenance mechanic. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical energy sources before servicing any motion control components. Verify thread engagement depth and confirm the shock absorber is fully seated and secured before returning the system to service. Do not exceed the rated stroke or operating load range specified by the manufacturer.
