Parker MC4525-4 Male Button Shock Absorber 0.91 in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC4525-4 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control applications. It features a 0.5-inch rod diameter, a 0.91-inch stroke length, and a 1.75-inch outside diameter body with a 1-3/4-12 thread for direct mounting into compatible actuator systems. The overall length is 5.69 inches. The steel rod and steel body with a black oxide finish provide corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in demanding cycle environments. Installation and service are typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or automation specialists.

This shock absorber is suited for use in pneumatic or mechanical automation systems requiring controlled end-of-travel deceleration. The male button end configuration allows it to be threaded directly into cylinder end caps or mounting brackets. Typical applications include conveyor stops, pick-and-place tooling, and slide unit end cushioning in both light and medium-duty industrial settings. Operating temperature range spans 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shock absorber for industrial automation systems requiring a male button configuration with a 1-3/4-12 thread, 0.5-inch rod diameter, and 1.75-inch outside diameter body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or automation specialist. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits and relieve system pressure before removing or installing shock absorbers. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking compound only as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Verify stroke and load capacity against the application requirements before placing the unit into service.
