Parker MC64100-1 Male Button Shock Absorber 3.91in Stroke

Product Description

The PARKER MC64100-1 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and fluid power systems. It features a 0.75 inch rod diameter, a 2.5 inch outside diameter body, and a 3.91 inch stroke length, making it suited for moderate to heavy-duty deceleration applications. Overall length measures 12.85 inches. The threaded mount uses a 2-1/2-12 thread configuration for secure installation into compatible actuator assemblies, end stops, or machine frames. This type of component is typically installed by industrial maintenance technicians and fluid power specialists working on pneumatic or hydraulic motion control systems.

This shock absorber is applied in industrial machinery where controlled deceleration of linear motion is required. Common installation scenarios include end-of-stroke cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, linear actuators, conveyor stops, and automated assembly equipment. The male button nose design allows direct contact with moving machine members, distributing impact force and extending the service life of surrounding mechanical components. It is suited for both light and heavy industrial environments where consistent cycle performance is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install shock absorber for industrial linear motion and fluid power systems requiring a 2-1/2-12 threaded male button configuration with a 0.75 inch rod diameter and 3.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial maintenance technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and lock out all pneumatic or hydraulic energy sources before servicing any motion control component. Ensure the threaded mounting bore is clean and undamaged before engaging the 2-1/2-12 thread; use appropriate thread engagement depth to achieve a secure mount without bottoming out. Do not exceed the rated stroke length during machine setup, as over-travel can damage internal components.
