Parker MC4575-2 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC4575-2 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. The unit features a 0.5-inch rod diameter, a 2.91-inch stroke length, and a 1-3/4-12 thread for secure mounting. The body and rod are both constructed from steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. With an overall length of 9.69 inches and an outside diameter of 1.75 inches, this shock absorber is suited for machinery where controlled deceleration of linear motion is critical. Licensed mechanical and automation technicians typically install this component.

This shock absorber is intended for use in industrial equipment, automated assembly lines, conveyor systems, and other machinery requiring end-of-travel cushioning. It is rated for operating temperatures from 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. The male button nose configuration allows direct contact with moving tooling plates, slides, or carriages. It is installed and serviced by industrial maintenance technicians and automation system integrators.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button configuration with a 1-3/4-12 thread and 2.91-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or automation engineer. Isolate and de-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical energy sources to the affected machine before beginning installation per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Thread the shock absorber into the mounting bracket by hand first, then torque using appropriate tooling to the equipment manufacturer's specified value. Verify stroke alignment with the contacting load surface before returning the system to service.
