Parker MC64100-3 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC64100-3 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control applications. With a 0.75 inch rod diameter, a 2.5 inch outside diameter, and a 3.91 inch stroke length, this unit provides controlled stopping force to protect machinery components from impact damage. The overall length is 12.85 inches, and the 2-1/2-12 thread configuration allows for secure, direct mounting into compatible assemblies. Weighing 7.79 pounds, it is built for demanding duty cycles where repeatable performance is required.

This shock absorber is suited for use in pneumatic and hydraulic automation systems, conveyor end stops, robotic tooling, and linear transfer equipment found in manufacturing and industrial facilities. The male button end style makes it appropriate for applications where the absorber contacts a moving carriage, plate, or actuator rod. Installation is handled by mechanical or maintenance technicians working on industrial machinery. It is well matched for mounting in fixed or adjustable bracket assemblies where precise deceleration positioning is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians. Isolate and de-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical power to the affected machine before servicing or replacing this component. Use appropriate thread sealant and ensure the 2-1/2-12 thread engagement is full and secure before returning the system to service. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable safety standards for shock absorber replacement in industrial machinery.
