Parker SC925-3 Male Button Shock Absorber 1-12 Thread

Product Description

The PARKER SC925-3 is a male button shock absorber designed to decelerate moving loads and absorb kinetic energy in industrial motion control applications. The unit features a 0.25 inch rod diameter, a 0.87 inch outside diameter, and a 1.58 inch stroke length. Overall assembled length is 7.44 inches. The rod is constructed from stainless steel while the body is steel with a black oxide finish. This type of absorber is installed by maintenance technicians and automation engineers on pneumatic actuators, slides, and linear motion systems where controlled deceleration is required to reduce impact forces and protect equipment.

The SC925-3 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty industrial applications involving pneumatic or mechanical linear motion. Its 1-12 thread configuration allows direct mounting into standard threaded fixtures or end-of-travel stops. Operating temperature range spans 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for standard indoor industrial environments. It is commonly found in factory automation, material handling, and machine tool installations where repeatable cushioning performance is needed at end-of-stroke positions.

Key Features

• Male button absorber type for direct end-of-stroke mounting
• Stainless steel rod for corrosion resistance in light wash-down or humid environments
• Steel body with black oxide finish for durability
• 1-12 thread size for compatibility with standard threaded mounting fixtures
• 1.58 inch stroke length provides consistent energy absorption travel
• Operating range of 32 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits most indoor industrial settings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit shock absorber for pneumatic actuator assemblies, linear slides, and end-of-travel stop applications requiring a 1-12 threaded male button style unit with a 0.25 inch rod diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or automation engineer. De-energize all pneumatic and electrical circuits and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any shock absorber. Use appropriate thread sealant or locking compound only if specified by the equipment OEM. Verify thread engagement depth and ensure the rod is correctly aligned with the load path to prevent side-loading, which can reduce service life.
