Parker MC75M-3 Male Button Shock Absorber M12x1

Product Description

The PARKER MC75M-3 is a male button shock absorber designed to cushion end-of-travel impacts in pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems. With a 0.4-inch stroke and a compact 0.33-inch outside diameter, this miniature shock absorber is suited for tight-clearance installations where controlled deceleration is required. The M12x1 threaded body allows straightforward mounting into standard tapped ports or brackets. At 0.09 pounds, it adds minimal mass to the assembly. Licensed HVAC, industrial, and automation technicians working with pneumatic actuators, small cylinder assemblies, or linear motion equipment will encounter this component in both OEM and aftermarket service applications.

The MC75M-3 is appropriate for light-duty pneumatic and mechanical automation applications where a small-profile shock absorber is needed to reduce impact noise and extend component service life. Its male button style makes it a common choice for inline or end-mount positions on small actuators. Typical install environments include manufacturing automation, pneumatic fixture tooling, and precision positioning equipment. The M12x1 thread size is a standard metric fastener specification, supporting easy integration into metric-threaded mounting hardware.

Key Features

• Male button absorber style for inline or end-mount applications
• 0.4-inch stroke provides controlled deceleration over a short travel range
• 0.33-inch outside diameter enables installation in compact, tight-clearance assemblies
• M12x1 threaded body compatible with standard metric mounting hardware
• 0.13-inch rod diameter suited for light-duty load applications
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds, minimizing added mass to the moving assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in component for light-duty pneumatic and mechanical motion control assemblies requiring a male button shock absorber with M12x1 thread and 0.4-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or automation specialists. De-energize and exhaust all pneumatic pressure from the system before removing or installing shock absorbers. Use the M12x1 thread engagement to mount securely into the receiving port, ensuring proper thread engagement without over-torquing the compact body. Follow equipment OEM documentation for stroke alignment and load rating verification before returning the system to service.
