Norgren MA600M Shock Absorbers - Integrated Mechanical Stop
Part Number: MA600M
Quick Summary
The MA600M shock absorbers provide maintenance-free deceleration for automation lines. They help reduce wear and downtime by delivering smooth, controlled stopping in high-cycle applications. CE conformity and typical IP protection levels are addressed in the datasheet, with ACE Series compatibility for upgrades. By choosing MA600M you gain reliable hydraulic deceleration with a long stroke, minimizing reaction forces and maintenance. This translates to lower life-cycle costs, easier installation, and scalable performance across automation equipment. Operators appreciate predictable braking in presses, clamps, and linear actuators, reducing misfeeds and increasing throughput. The device accommodates a broad effective weight range and is built from steel with a durable black oxide finish for harsh environments. Together these features support preventative maintenance strategies and supplier-standardization across facilities.

Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components reduce installation time and eliminate external reservoir plumbing, delivering consistent energy absorption and predictable stopping in high-cycle automation environments. This leads to measurable business impact: lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and improved equipment availability in manufacturing lines. The integrated mechanical stop (MA 225 upwards) enables precise end-of-travel control, minimizing rebound and shock loading on clamps, presses, and actuators, which translates into longer tool life and gentler material handling during production. The MA600M is part of the Ace series, offering easy compatibility with existing Norgren control options and simplified retrofits for upgrade projects, reducing total cost of ownership. The steel body with black oxide finish provides rugged durability in demanding environments, while long stroke lengths deliver smooth deceleration across varied travel distances. Installation is straightforward, with secure mounting options and a compact, self-contained design that minimizes hydraulic plumbing and leak risk. This combination supports preventative maintenance strategies, standardization across facilities, and improved process reliability in industrial automation settings. Long-term, users benefit from improved uptime, safer equipment operation, and lower lifecycle costs thanks to robust design and predictable performance.

FAQs
MA600M is designed for seamless compatibility within Norgren Ace series installations. It is a self-contained hydraulic absorber with long-stroke capability and an integrated mechanical stop, enabling straightforward mounting on standard frames and adapters. When retrofitting, verify mounting hole patterns, alignment, and clearance for stroke travel to ensure optimal performance and to minimize rework.
The MA600M accommodates an effective weight range from 9 to 1360 kg. This broad range supports diverse applications from light to heavy payloads, enabling consistent deceleration profiles across multiple stations without hardware changes. For precise selection, match the expected peak dynamic load and travel distance to the long-stroke capability of the unit.
MA600M excels in automation lines requiring controlled stopping for presses, clamps, and linear actuators. Its maintenance-free design and integrated mechanical stop help protect tooling, reduce vibration and impact forces, and improve throughput in high-cycle environments such as stamping, packaging, and material handling where end-of-travel control is critical.
The product is designed to align with common industry standards for hydraulic shock absorbers, including CE compliance and typical IP protection considerations, as referenced in the datasheet. Always consult the datasheet for the exact certification status and regional requirements relevant to your installation and safety program.
By eliminating external hydraulic plumbing and reducing maintenance intervals, MA600M minimizes downtime and service costs. The integrated stop and long-stroke deceleration yield gentler tooling engagement, reducing wear and replacement cycles. Over time, this leads to higher machine uptime, improved process reliability, and lower lifecycle costs for automation equipment.
