Parker MC4525-2 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC4525-2 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. The unit features a 0.5 inch rod diameter, a 1.75 inch outside diameter, and a 0.91 inch stroke length, making it suited for applications where precise stopping and controlled energy absorption are required. The overall length is 5.69 inches. A 1-3/4-12 threaded mount allows for direct integration into machine frames, end-of-travel stops, and actuator mounting blocks. This component is installed by maintenance technicians and machine builders working on automated equipment.

This shock absorber is used in industrial environments where moving masses must be decelerated smoothly at end-of-stroke positions. Typical installations include pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder end stops, conveyor positioning systems, and robotic end-effector assemblies. The male button configuration allows direct contact with the load or a mating surface without the need for an extended rod nose adapter. It is appropriate for both light and moderate load applications in production machinery and material handling equipment.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct load contact without an extended rod
• 0.5 inch rod diameter for compatibility with standard mounting bores
• 1.75 inch outside diameter body
• 0.91 inch stroke length for controlled deceleration travel
• 1-3/4-12 threaded body for secure machine frame mounting
• 5.69 inch overall length for layout and clearance planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button configuration with 1-3/4-12 thread mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial maintenance technicians or machine builders. De-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuits before servicing end-of-travel components. Verify thread engagement and ensure the unit is torqued to the machine manufacturer specifications before returning the system to service. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and the original equipment documentation for mounting and load rating requirements.
