Norgren MC225MH Shock Absorbers - Up to 25 Million Cycles

The MC225MH is a maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic damper designed to be mounted directly on the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar. This integration reduces field servicing and downtime, delivering consistent damping performance in automated lines where every cycle counts. With a lifetime of up to 25 million cycles, the unit dramatically extends component life and lowers replacement costs in high-cycle environments. In practice, this translates to more reliable packaging, automotive assembly, and material handling lines where uptime directly impacts throughput. It delivers an extremely low rod return force, minimizing wear on seals and guides while improving positioning accuracy and smoothness of operation. Engineers often notice easier cycling and reduced mechanical stress on cylinders in pick-and-place and conveyor applications. Direct mounting into cylinder end covers simplifies installation, reduces enclosure footprint, and lowers assembly complexity across standard cylinder portfolios up to 7 bar. The design includes an integral positive stop on all models, enhancing safety and repeatable travel in automated equipment. This combination of features supports faster deployment and more predictable performance. Operating at 0 to 66 °C, the unit fits typical factory temperatures, while its compact footprint (96.77 mm length, 26.4 mm height, 22.86 mm width) enables straightforward integration in existing systems. The MC225MH balances mechanical robustness with lightweight handling, supporting efficient maintenance planning and safer, more reliable operation. Together, these characteristics translate into improved uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and greater confidence in meeting production targets across industries.
