Parker MC4575-4 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC4575-4 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial motion control applications. The unit features a 0.5 inch rod diameter, a 1.75 inch outside diameter body, and a 2.91 inch stroke length. Overall length is 9.69 inches. The rod and body are both constructed from steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in typical shop and factory environments. This type of shock absorber is installed by maintenance mechanics and machine builders working on automated equipment, pneumatic slides, and linear positioning systems.

The MC4575-4 is suited for use in industrial automation equipment where controlled deceleration of pneumatic cylinders, actuators, or moving carriages is required. The 1-3/4-12 threaded body allows direct mounting into standard machine frames, end caps, or custom brackets. It is appropriate for both new machine builds and field replacement on existing equipment operating within the specified temperature range of 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F.

Key Features

• Male button absorber style for direct end-of-stroke contact with moving loads
• 0.5 inch rod diameter with 2.91 inch stroke for substantial energy absorption travel
• 1-3/4-12 thread size for secure, standard industrial mounting
• Steel rod and body construction with black oxide finish for durability
• Operating temperature range of 10 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits most indoor industrial environments
• Overall length of 9.69 inches; compressed length of 2.91 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button style unit with 1-3/4-12 thread and 0.5 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified maintenance technicians or machine builders. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits and relieve any residual system pressure before servicing or replacing a shock absorber. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking compound as required by the machine OEM specification. Verify stroke alignment with the contacting load surface to prevent side-loading the rod, which can cause premature wear.
