Norgren MC150M Shock Absorbers - up to 25 million cycles
Part Number: MC150M
Quick Summary
MC150M shock absorbers provide maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic damping for pneumatic cylinder end covers in automation lines. This design reduces downtime by eliminating frequent maintenance tasks and delivering consistent, smooth deceleration. While explicit CE, IP, or SIL certifications are not listed in the data, Norgren products commonly meet CE marking and robust IP-rated performance for harsh factory environments. By aligning with the MC range and Ace series, the device ensures plug-and-play integration, simplifying replacement and spare parts planning. The combination of long cycle life, compact mounting, and a positive stop translates into lower total cost of ownership while improving repeatability and safety in high-speed applications.

Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components provide reliable damping with minimal service. This reduces maintenance downtime and lowers spare-parts costs across automated lines, while enabling direct mounting into end covers of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar for compact, straightforward installation. The result is faster deployment and fewer field service events in MC and Ace system configurations. Long cycle life—up to 25 million cycles—ensures predictable performance in high-speed automation, improving uptime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by limiting unplanned outages. Extreme low rod return force means smoother actuation, reduced wear on cylinders, and improved control during fast cycling in assembly and packaging lines. Direct-end-cover mounting simplifies retrofits and new builds alike, with a steel body and black oxide finish designed for durability in demanding environments. The integral positive stop on all models adds safe travel limits, improving repeatability and system safety in automated operations. Operating temperature is 0 to 66 °C and weight range spans 0.9 to 10 kg, aligning with typical factory conditions and enabling straightforward integration within the MC range and Ace series.

FAQs
MC150M dampers are designed for direct mounting into the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar. To install, align the damper with the cylinder end, secure with the appropriate fasteners, and verify the mounting surface is clean and flat. This approach minimizes footprint and avoids additional brackets or adapters, simplifying retrofits and new builds in MC range and Ace series systems.
The MC150M offers a cycle life of up to 25 million cycles, delivering exceptional durability in high-speed applications. This long-life performance reduces replacement frequency, lowers maintenance labor costs, and improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). For planning, factor in the extended service intervals into preventive maintenance schedules and spare parts stocking strategies.
Yes. The MC150M is built for long cycle life and smooth operation, making it well-suited for high-speed automation lines that require reliable deceleration and repeatable stopping. Its direct-end-cover mounting and integral positive stop support consistent performance in demanding cycles, while the steel body offers robust durability in typical factory environments.
Certification details are not provided in the data supplied. For regulatory compliance in your region and application, verify with Norgren or authorized distributors whether the MC150M carries CE marking or specific IP ratings. This ensures alignment with your industry standards and safety requirements.
The MC150M combines maintenance-free operation, extremely long cycle life, and easy direct mounting, reducing downtime, service labor, and spare-part costs. Its low rod return force improves actuator efficiency and control, while the integral positive stop enhances safety and repeatability. Together, these factors lower total cost of ownership and boost manufacturing throughput in MC and Ace-based systems.
