Parker MC4525M4 Male Button Shock Absorber M45 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC4525M4 is a male button 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 1.75-inch outside diameter, and a 0.91-inch stroke length. The overall length is 5.69 inches. This unit uses an M45 x 1.5 thread for secure mounting and weighs 2.23 pounds. It is installed by maintenance technicians and automation engineers working on pneumatic cylinders, actuators, and end-of-stroke deceleration systems where controlled stopping of moving masses is required.

The MC4525M4 is suited for industrial machinery, assembly line equipment, and automated handling systems that require consistent, repeatable energy absorption at end-of-travel positions. The male button style allows direct contact with the moving load or fixture without the need for additional mechanical linkage. This absorber is appropriate for applications demanding compact external dimensions alongside a reliable fixed stroke in linear motion systems.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct load contact without added hardware
• 0.91-inch stroke length provides controlled deceleration over a short travel range
• 1.75-inch outside diameter in a compact form factor suitable for confined installations
• M45 x 1.5 threaded body for secure and repeatable mounting in machine frames or brackets
• 0.5-inch rod diameter rated for industrial linear motion service
• 5.69-inch overall length supports straightforward dimensional planning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install shock absorber for industrial linear motion and automation systems requiring an M45 x 1.5 threaded male button configuration with a 0.91-inch stroke and 1.75-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial maintenance technicians or automation engineers. Before service, de-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits connected to the actuator or motion system and release any stored pressure. Mounting torque and preload requirements should follow facility engineering standards and the equipment OEM documentation. Verify thread engagement depth and alignment before returning the system to service.
