Parker MC4525M3 Male Button Shock Absorber M45 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC4525M3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and reduce impact energy in industrial automation and motion control systems. With a 0.5 inch rod diameter, 1.75 inch outside diameter, and a 0.91 inch stroke length, this unit provides controlled energy absorption in a compact form. The M45 x 1.5 threaded body allows direct mounting into machine structures and fixtures. Overall length is 5.69 inches. This shock absorber is installed by maintenance technicians and machine builders working on automated equipment, conveyor systems, and actuator end-of-travel applications.

This part is suited for industrial machinery where moving components require controlled stopping at the end of stroke. Typical applications include linear slides, pick-and-place systems, rotary indexers, and conveyor stop gates in both light manufacturing and heavy production environments. The male button contact face allows direct engagement with moving load surfaces without additional tooling. It is appropriate for new machine builds and replacement service on existing automation equipment.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct load contact without adapter hardware
• 0.91 inch stroke length for controlled deceleration over a defined travel range
• M45 x 1.5 threaded body for secure, direct mounting into machine frames and fixtures
• 1.75 inch outside diameter in a compact overall length of 5.69 inches
• 0.5 inch rod diameter sized for standard industrial automation load ranges

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount industrial shock absorber for automated machinery and motion control equipment requiring M45 x 1.5 threaded mounting and a male button contact interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or machine builders. De-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical systems before removing or installing shock absorbers. Thread engagement and torque should follow machine builder specifications and applicable machinery safety standards. Do not exceed the stroke length or rated load capacity during setup and commissioning.
