Parker MC64150-3 Male Button Shock Absorber

Product Description

The PARKER MC64150-3 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial automation and motion control systems. It features a 0.75 inch rod diameter, a 2.5 inch outside diameter, and a 5.91 inch stroke length, making it suited for applications that require controlled stopping over a longer travel distance. Overall length is 17.73 inches. The unit threads in via a 2-1/2-12 thread interface and weighs 10.3 pounds. Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians and automation engineers working on pneumatic or hydraulic linear motion assemblies.

This shock absorber is used in industrial settings where machinery, conveyors, transfer systems, or actuator-driven assemblies require consistent, repeatable end-of-travel deceleration. The male button style contact face distributes impact load across the button face, reducing point loading on moving components. Its longer stroke length suits higher-energy applications where a shorter absorber would generate excessive deceleration forces or fail prematurely under repeated cycle loads.

Key Features

• Male button contact face for distributed end-of-travel impact loading
• 0.75 inch rod diameter for robust load handling
• 5.91 inch stroke length suited to higher-energy deceleration requirements
• 2-1/2-12 threaded body for secure mounting in standard threaded bores or brackets
• 17.73 inch overall length accommodates installations with extended clearance envelopes
• 10.3 pound unit weight reflects heavy-duty internal construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation shock absorber for industrial linear motion and automation systems requiring a 2-1/2-12 threaded mount with a 0.75 inch rod diameter and 5.91 inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified industrial maintenance personnel or automation technicians. De-energize all pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical systems and relieve residual pressure before removing or installing the absorber. Verify thread engagement and alignment before cycling the system under load. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and lockout/tagout procedures throughout the service process.
