Parker SC190-3 Male Button Shock Absorber 9/16-18

Product Description

The PARKER SC190-3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and pneumatic systems. It features a 0.63-inch stroke length, a 0.16-inch stainless steel rod diameter, and a 0.46-inch outside diameter body finished in black oxide. The 9/16-18 threaded mount allows for direct inline installation into actuator end caps or mounting brackets. Licensed tradespeople and automation technicians install this type of component to protect machinery and extend service life by absorbing kinetic energy at the end of cylinder strokes.

This shock absorber is suited for light-duty linear motion applications in industrial, manufacturing, and automation environments. Its compact form factor and male button end configuration make it compatible with standard pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke cushioning setups. The 4.5-inch overall length and black oxide finish are appropriate for enclosed or semi-exposed machine guarding environments. Operating temperature range spans 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, supporting most indoor industrial conditions.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct end-of-stroke cushioning in pneumatic systems
• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in moderate-duty applications
• Black oxide steel body provides basic corrosion protection and low-profile appearance
• 0.63-inch stroke length accommodates light linear load deceleration
• 9/16-18 thread size for standard inline or bracket mounting
• Operating range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits most indoor industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade component for industrial pneumatic actuator and linear motion systems requiring a male button shock absorber with a 9/16-18 thread and 0.63-inch stroke.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified automation or pneumatic systems technician. De-energize and exhaust all pneumatic pressure from the system before removing or installing shock absorbers. Use appropriate thread sealant if required and verify thread engagement depth before returning the system to service. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment manufacturer's specifications for mounting torque and alignment.
