Parker SC650-1 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-12 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER SC650-1 is a male button-style shock absorber designed to control deceleration forces in pneumatic and mechanical automation systems. It features a 0.25-inch rod diameter, a 0.91-inch stroke length, and a 1-12 threaded body with an outside diameter of 0.87 inches and an overall length of 5.62 inches. This unit is installed inline or at end-of-travel positions to absorb kinetic energy and reduce impact loads on machine components, extending the service life of actuators and end stops. Automation maintenance technicians and machine builders typically specify and install this type of component.

The SC650-1 is suited for use in light-duty industrial automation and pneumatic positioning applications. Typical installations include end-of-stroke cushioning on pneumatic cylinders, pick-and-place assemblies, conveyor stops, and actuator mounts where controlled deceleration is required. The compact body diameter and male button design allow direct mounting into standard threaded receiver blocks or custom machine plates without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct threaded installation into receiver blocks
• 0.25-inch rod diameter with 0.91-inch stroke for light-duty deceleration applications
• 1-12 thread size for secure mounting and straightforward replacement
• 0.87-inch outside diameter allows fitment in compact machine envelopes
• 5.62-inch overall length for consistent positioning in standard mounting bores

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install shock absorber for light-duty pneumatic and mechanical automation systems requiring a male button configuration with a 1-12 thread and 0.25-inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machine builders, automation technicians, or maintenance personnel. De-energize and exhaust all pneumatic pressure from the system before removing or installing shock absorbers. Thread the unit carefully into the receiver block by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate wrench to the mounting plate specification. Verify stroke alignment with the actuator travel path before returning the system to service.
