Parker MC4550-3 Male Button Shock Absorber 1.91in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC4550-3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and stop moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. The unit features a 0.5-inch rod diameter, a 1.91-inch stroke length, and a 1-3/4-12 threaded body for secure, positive mounting. The steel rod and steel body are finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. With an overall length of 7.69 inches and an outside diameter of 1.75 inches, the MC4550-3 is sized for applications where a compact, threaded inline absorber is required. Installation and adjustment are handled by mechanical or hydraulic system technicians as part of machinery assembly or maintenance.

This shock absorber is suited for use in industrial machinery, automated assembly equipment, conveyor end stops, actuator stroke dampening, and similar motion control applications. It is applicable in both light manufacturing and general industrial environments where controlled deceleration of moving components is required. The operating temperature range of 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F makes it appropriate for most indoor industrial settings. The male button configuration allows direct contact with moving targets without the need for additional adapter hardware.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct target contact without adapters

• 1-3/4-12 threaded body for positive, adjustable mounting
• Steel rod and steel body construction with black oxide finish
• Rated for operation from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F
• Compact 1.75-inch outside diameter fits tight installation envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial motion control and automation systems requiring a male button configuration with 1-3/4-12 thread and 1.91-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or hydraulic technician. De-energize all actuators, release system pressure, and lock out the machine before removing or installing the shock absorber. Thread engagement should follow the equipment manufacturer's specifications; do not overtighten the threaded body as this may affect stroke travel. Verify alignment between the button face and the target surface before returning the system to service.
