Parker SC650-2 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-12 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER SC650-2 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in pneumatic and mechanical motion control applications. With a 0.25-inch stainless steel rod diameter and a 0.91-inch stroke length, this unit provides controlled energy absorption to reduce impact shock and extend the service life of tooling, fixtures, and automated equipment. The body is steel with a black oxide finish, giving it corrosion resistance suitable for industrial environments. Licensed HVAC, fluid power, and automation technicians commonly specify this style of shock absorber for cylinder end-of-stroke cushioning and moving-stop applications.

The SC650-2 fits installations where a compact, threaded shock absorber is required in tight-clearance assemblies. Its 1-12 thread size and 0.87-inch outside diameter allow direct mounting into standard threaded bores on actuator end caps, stop blocks, and fixture plates. The 5.62-inch overall length suits medium-reach mounting arrangements. This unit is suited for light-duty industrial automation, assembly line equipment, and pneumatic cylinder cushioning in both production and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Steel body with black oxide finish for durability
• 0.91-inch stroke length provides controlled cushioning travel
• 1-12 thread size for secure, standard-bore installation
• Operating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for industrial automation equipment requiring a male button style unit with a 1-12 thread, 0.25-inch rod diameter, and 0.87-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fluid power technicians or maintenance mechanics familiar with pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems. Depressurize and de-energize the system fully before removing or installing any shock absorber. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking compound per the equipment manufacturer specification, and verify that the mounted unit is aligned with the load contact axis to prevent side-loading the rod. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures during service.
