Parker MC4575M2 Male Button Shock Absorber M45 X 1.5

Product Description

The PARKER MC4575M2 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. With a 0.5 inch rod diameter, 1.75 inch outside diameter, and 2.91 inch stroke length, this unit provides controlled energy absorption to protect machinery components and extend service life. The overall length measures 9.69 inches, and the M45 x 1.5 thread sizing ensures a secure, precise mounting interface. It weighs 3.16 pounds. This component is installed by mechanical and automation technicians working on linear actuator systems, conveyor equipment, and pneumatic or hydraulic end-of-travel applications.

The MC4575M2 is suited for industrial environments where repeatable, consistent deceleration of moving masses is required. Typical applications include end-of-stroke cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, automated assembly equipment, pick-and-place systems, and material handling machinery. The male button configuration allows for direct contact with the load, making it a straightforward fit in applications where the absorber mounts into a fixed housing or bracket and interfaces with a moving actuator or carriage.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install shock absorber for industrial automation systems requiring an M45 x 1.5 threaded male button configuration with a 1.75 inch outside diameter body.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or automation technicians. De-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical circuits and release any stored pressure before removing or installing a shock absorber. Thread engagement should be confirmed to specification using the M45 x 1.5 thread before applying any load cycle. Follow applicable OSHA machine safeguarding standards and the equipment manufacturer's service procedures when replacing shock absorbers on live production machinery.
