Parker MC4525M2 Male Button Shock Absorber M45 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC4525M2 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control systems. It features a 0.5 inch rod diameter, a 1.75 inch outside diameter, and a 0.91 inch stroke length, with an M45 x 1.5 threaded body for direct mounting into machine frames or actuator end caps. Overall length is 5.69 inches. This unit weighs 2.23 pounds and is installed by maintenance technicians, automation engineers, and machine builders working on pneumatic or hydraulic actuator assemblies.

The MC4525M2 is suited for use in industrial machinery where controlled deceleration of linear motion is required. Typical applications include end-of-stroke cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, robotic tooling, conveyor stops, and automated assembly equipment. The male button style allows the absorber to make contact with a moving load surface without requiring a threaded rod interface, making it practical for inline mounting configurations in tight machine envelopes.

Key Features

• Male button absorber style for direct load contact without threaded rod engagement
• 0.5 inch rod diameter provides a compact, robust deceleration interface
• 0.91 inch stroke length suitable for short-travel cushioning applications
• M45 x 1.5 thread for secure integration into machine frames or mounting brackets
• 1.75 inch outside diameter fits standard shock absorber mounting bores
• 5.69 inch overall length for planning clearance and installation depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation systems requiring M45 x 1.5 threaded mounting and a male button contact interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified machine builders or maintenance technicians. Depressurize and de-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuits before servicing any actuator or motion control component. Verify thread engagement depth and alignment to the load path before applying system pressure. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for shock absorber replacement intervals.
