Parker SC300-3 Male Button Shock Absorber 3/4-16

Product Description

The PARKER SC300-3 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to control motion and absorb impact energy in industrial automation, pneumatic, and mechanical positioning applications. The unit features a 0.19-inch diameter stainless steel rod, a 0.66-inch outside diameter steel body with a black oxide finish, and a 0.59-inch stroke length. Overall length is 4.62 inches. The 3/4-16 threaded body allows direct mounting into standard threaded bores or brackets. Maintenance technicians and automation specialists install these units on end-of-stroke positions for actuators, slides, and transfer systems to reduce mechanical shock and extend equipment service life.

The SC300-3 is suited for light-duty industrial applications where controlled deceleration is required at the end of actuator or slide travel. Typical installations include pneumatic cylinder end caps, linear slide assemblies, and conveyor stop gates in manufacturing and assembly environments. The stainless steel rod resists corrosion in moderate-duty cycles, while the black oxide steel body provides durability in standard shop environments. Operating temperature range is 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial service.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct end-of-stroke deceleration
• Stainless steel rod resists corrosion in moderate-duty service
• Black oxide steel body provides durability and surface protection
• 3/4-16 thread for direct mounting into standard threaded fixtures
• 0.59-inch stroke length suited for compact installation envelopes
• Rated for 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F operating range

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation shock absorber for industrial actuator, slide, and linear motion systems requiring a male button configuration with 3/4-16 thread mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automation technicians or maintenance mechanics. De-energize and lock out all pneumatic and electrical energy sources before installing or replacing shock absorbers on live equipment. Thread the body into the mounting fixture by hand first, then snug with appropriate tooling to avoid cross-threading. Verify stroke alignment with the actuator contact point before returning the system to service.
