Norgren MC225MH2 Shock Absorbers - Ace Series (25M cycles)

Feature: Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components. Benefit: Reduces routine servicing and lubricant scheduling, improving uptime and predictability in automated presses and pick-and-place cells. Application: Suitable for continuous operation in manufacturing lines where minimal maintenance is desired and service windows are limited. The integrated design also simplifies inventory management, enabling faster changeovers and less on-site handling. Feature: Up to 25 million cycles lifespan. Benefit: Delivers superior fatigue resistance and longer service life in high-frequency cycles, lowering replacement frequency and spare-parts costs. Application: Ideal for high-volume transfer systems and robotic actuators with repetitive motion where reliability is critical. Industry context: supports lean production goals by minimizing unplanned downtime. Feature: Extremely low rod return force. Benefit: Reduces mechanical stress on cylinders and guiding components, extending equipment life and easing actuation force requirements. Application: Particularly advantageous for high-speed positioning stages and delicate tooling operations where abrupt returns cause wear. Feature: Direct mounting into end covers (up to 7 bar). Benefit: Streamlines installation by eliminating intermediary brackets, reducing assembly time and potential misalignment. Application: OEMs can retrofit existing cylinders quickly, enabling rapid deployment across lines. Feature: Integral positive stop. Benefit: Provides a guaranteed soft stop at end-of-travel, enhancing cycle consistency and protecting system columns from over-travel damage. Application: Critical in precision batching and press-form applications where repeatable stopping is essential. Feature: Robust body and range details (steel with black oxide finish; MC range; Ace series). Benefit: Combines durability with corrosion resistance in harsh factory environments, ensuring reliable performance in temperature 0–66 °C. Application: Suitable for general industrial automation tasks, including transfer and clamp routines, with consistent results across multiple cylinders.
