Parker MC4550M2 Male Button Shock Absorber M45 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC4550M2 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and dissipate kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control applications. With a 0.5 inch rod diameter, 1.75 inch outside diameter, and a 1.91 inch stroke length, this unit delivers controlled cushioning in a compact envelope. The overall length measures 7.69 inches and the M45 x 1.5 thread allows direct mounting into compatible actuator assemblies or machine frames. Weighing 2.69 pounds, it is built for durability in production line and pneumatic system environments. Licensed maintenance technicians and machine builders typically handle installation and integration.

This shock absorber is suited for use in industrial machinery, automated assembly equipment, conveyor systems, and pneumatic actuator end-stop applications. The male button configuration provides a simple contact surface for load engagement and is a common selection in linear motion systems where controlled deceleration is required. It fits applications demanding a larger thread interface such as M45 x 1.5, which supports higher side-load resistance and more stable mounting in heavy-duty duty frames.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type provides a broad contact face for consistent load engagement
• 0.5 inch rod diameter with 1.91 inch stroke for controlled deceleration travel
• M45 x 1.5 thread enables direct mounting into machine frames and actuator assemblies
• 1.75 inch outside diameter in a compact, space-efficient package
• 7.69 inch overall length suits standard industrial mounting envelopes
• 2.69 pound unit weight reflects a robust, industrial-grade construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial shock absorber applications requiring an M45 x 1.5 threaded male button style unit with a 1.75 inch outside diameter and 1.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified maintenance technicians or machine builders familiar with industrial motion control systems. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic or hydraulic power sources before removing or installing the shock absorber. Verify thread engagement depth and alignment with the mounting bore before torquing to the machine manufacturer's specified value. Confirm stroke clearance with the moving load prior to returning the system to service.
