Parker MC600MH2 Standard-duty Shock Absorber 1 in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC600MH2 is a standard-duty shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control applications. It features a 0.31-inch rod diameter, a 0.87-inch outside diameter, and a 1-inch stroke length. The overall length is 5.58 inches, and the unit mounts via an M25 x 1.5 thread interface. Weighing 0.57 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for integration into actuator assemblies, guided cylinders, and end-stop deceleration systems. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or automation specialists working on pneumatic or mechanical linear motion equipment.

This shock absorber is intended for standard-duty industrial applications where controlled deceleration of moving machine components is required. Typical use cases include end-of-travel cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, robotic end effectors, and linear slide assemblies. Its threaded body allows direct installation into tapped mounting bores or use with appropriate hex lock nuts for secure positioning. This part is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 1-inch stroke length provides controlled deceleration travel for light to moderate load applications
• M25 x 1.5 external thread enables direct mounting into compatible tapped bores or bracket assemblies
• 0.87-inch outside diameter fits compact machine envelope constraints
• 0.31-inch rod diameter suited for standard-duty load ranges
• 5.58-inch overall length for straightforward dimensional planning during machine design
• Lightweight at 0.57 pounds, minimizing added mass to moving assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install shock absorber for standard-duty industrial linear motion and pneumatic cylinder end-stop applications requiring an M25 x 1.5 threaded mount.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified maintenance technicians or automation specialists. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic and electrical circuits before servicing any motion control assembly. Verify thread engagement depth and use an appropriate lock nut to secure the absorber body against vibration-induced loosening. Do not exceed the rated stroke during installation or operation.
