Norgren MC150MH Shock Absorbers - Up to 25 Million Cycles
Part Number: MC150MH
Quick Summary
MC150MH Shock Absorbers from Norgren provide maintenance-free hydraulic damping for pneumatic cylinders used in industrial automation. Engineers often struggle with high rod-return forces and limited cycle life, which drive downtime and costly maintenance. Certification details are not specified in the data; verify with the datasheet for CE, SIL, or IP ratings to ensure regulatory alignment. The unit's self-contained design minimizes leak paths, while the direct end-cover mounting simplifies installation and reduces integration risk. With an extremely long life and a robust steel body, these dampers deliver predictable performance even in harsh environments, supporting higher line throughput and better overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Using this solution can lower spare parts inventory and extend service intervals in automated manufacturing lines.

Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components translate into fewer maintenance events and lower equipment downtime. The compact, self-contained design minimizes leak paths and seals wear, delivering dependable damping across long-running cycles. Ideal for direct mounting into end covers of pneumatic cylinders (up to 7 bar) in automation cells such as pick-and-place robots and conveyor systems. The best-in-class cycle life—up to 25 million cycles—reduces replacement frequency and supports higher throughput, delivering a favorable return on investment in high-cycle production lines. Integral positive stop on all models ensures repeatable stroke positioning and prevents over-travel, which enhances accuracy in tooling and clamping applications. The steel body with black oxide finish offers durability in dirty or humid environments, reducing corrosion-related downtime. Operating temperature range of 0 to 66 °C covers most manufacturing floors, enabling reliable performance across multiple facilities. Direct mounting compatibility within the IMI Norgren ecosystem simplifies installation, minimizes configuration steps, and accelerates time-to-value in machine builds and retrofits.

FAQs
The MC150MH is designed for direct mounting into the end covers of pneumatic cylinders (up to 7 bar), aligning with typical Norgren end-cover interfaces. This compatibility reduces installation steps and ensures a secure, leak-resistant fit in standard automation cells. For retrofit projects, verify actuator bore size and mounting geometry against the cylinder spec sheet to avoid misalignment and ensure optimal damping performance.
The MC150MH delivers up to 25 million cycles in typical high-cycle environments, offering a substantial reduction in replacement frequency compared with traditional dampers. This extended lifecycle lowers maintenance labor, minimizes spare parts inventory, and improves machine uptime. In planning, factor the long-term cost of ownership and the expected production run lengths to justify the upfront integration effort.
Yes. With a maintenance-free design and up to 25 million cycles, the MC150MH is well-suited for high-throughput applications such as pick-and-place and packaging lines. Its direct-end-cover mounting and integral positive stop support precise, repeatable damper action, reducing rod impact and stabilizing cycle timing. For extreme environments, ensure the operating temperature remains within 0–66 °C and consider additional environmental protections where needed.
The MC150MH operates from 0 to 66 °C, which covers most factory floors but may require enclosure or climate control in extreme environments. Check for exposure to moisture, dust, or corrosive substances and choose appropriate enclosure ratings or protective coatings if needed. The steel body with black oxide finish provides baseline durability; in harsher environments, plan for periodic inspection and corrosion mitigation as part of maintenance routines.
