Parker SC650-9 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-12 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER SC650-9 is a male button style shock absorber designed to decelerate and cushion moving loads in pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems. With a 0.25 inch rod diameter, 0.87 inch outside diameter, and 0.91 inch stroke length, this compact unit fits tight-clearance applications where controlled energy absorption is required. The 1-12 thread mount and 5.62 inch overall length allow straightforward integration into actuator end caps, fixtures, and automated assembly tooling. At 0.76 pounds, it is lightweight enough for high-cycle installations where minimizing moving mass matters. Licensed HVAC, industrial automation, and mechanical system technicians regularly specify this type of component for precise stopping force in repetitive cycle applications.

This shock absorber is suited for use in pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke cushioning, automated assembly lines, conveyor stop gates, and robotic positioning fixtures. The male button configuration allows direct contact with moving workpieces or shuttle carriages without requiring additional adapter hardware. It is appropriate for both light industrial and commercial automation environments where consistent deceleration control reduces component wear and noise at end of travel.

Key Features

• Male button tip contacts moving loads directly, eliminating the need for adapter fittings
• 0.91 inch stroke provides repeatable, controlled deceleration travel
• 1-12 threaded body mounts directly into standard actuator ports and fixture blocks
• 0.87 inch outside diameter fits compact mounting envelopes with minimal clearance requirements
• 5.62 inch overall length suits standard actuator end-cap and bracket installations
• Lightweight at 0.76 pounds, supporting high-cycle and weight-sensitive applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for pneumatic and mechanical motion control systems requiring a male button shock absorber with a 1-12 thread mount and 0.25 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial automation technicians or mechanical systems professionals. Depressurize and de-energize the system completely before removing or installing any shock absorber. Verify thread engagement depth and ensure the unit is torqued to the fixture manufacturer's specification using the appropriate spanner or open-end wrench. Do not exceed the rated stroke length during installation setup, as bottoming out the absorber can reduce service life.
