Parker MC64100-2 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC64100-2 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control systems. It features a 0.75 inch rod diameter, a 2.5 inch outside diameter body, and a 3.91 inch stroke length. The overall length is 12.85 inches. This unit threads into machine frames or mounting fixtures via a 2-1/2-12 thread. It is typically installed by millwrights, machine builders, or maintenance technicians working on pneumatic or hydraulic actuator systems, conveyor end stops, and automated assembly equipment where controlled deceleration is required.

This shock absorber is suited for industrial applications involving repetitive impact or end-of-travel cushioning on linear motion systems. Common install scenarios include end-stop damping on transfer lines, robotic arm travel limits, and actuator cushioning in medium-to-heavy-duty machine frames. The male button nose style allows direct contact with a moving carriage or plate without additional hardware. It is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy industrial environments where consistent energy absorption across high cycle counts is required.

Key Features

• Male button nose style for direct load contact without additional hardware
• 3.91 inch stroke provides substantial travel for controlled deceleration of heavier loads
• 2-1/2-12 thread for secure mounting into standard machine frames and fixtures
• 2.5 inch outside diameter body suitable for medium-to-heavy-duty applications
• 12.85 inch overall length accommodates typical machine frame clearance requirements
• Weighs 7.79 pounds for a robust, industrial-grade construction

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified millwrights or machine maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical energy sources before servicing or replacing shock absorbers on any machine. Thread the unit into the mounting fixture by hand first to confirm thread engagement before applying tools, and torque only to the mounting structure manufacturer's specification. Verify stroke clearance and load alignment prior to returning the system to service.
