Parker SC190-4 Male Button Shock Absorber 9/16-18

Product Description

The PARKER SC190-4 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in industrial automation and motion control applications. The unit features a 0.16 inch rod diameter, a 0.46 inch outside diameter, and a 0.63 inch stroke length. The stainless steel rod and steel body with black oxide finish give it solid resistance to wear and light corrosion. Overall length is 4.5 inches. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades encounter these components in pneumatic systems, linear actuators, and end-stop damping assemblies where uncontrolled impact would damage tooling or fixtures.

The SC190-4 is suited for light-duty deceleration tasks on small pneumatic cylinders, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and compact linear motion stages. The 9/16-18 threaded body allows direct mounting into tapped housings or bracketry without additional hardware. Operating temperature range runs from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. The male button style is a common configuration in automated assembly equipment and machine guarding systems where repeatable cushioning at fixed stroke positions is required.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type with 9/16-18 threaded body for direct mounting
• 0.63 inch stroke provides repeatable end-of-travel deceleration
• Stainless steel rod resists corrosion and wear in cyclic applications
• Black oxide steel body balances durability with compact footprint
• Rated for operation from 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F
• Compact 4.5 inch overall length fits tight machine envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shock absorber for light-duty pneumatic and linear motion systems requiring a male button configuration with 9/16-18 thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or automation technicians. De-energize the pneumatic or hydraulic circuit and relieve all system pressure before removing or installing the absorber. Verify thread engagement is complete and that the mounting surface is clean and free of debris before torquing into place. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and the equipment OEM documentation for cycle rate and load capacity requirements before commissioning.
