Feature: Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components deliver reliable, consistent damping without external reservoirs. Business impact: Reduces scheduled downtime, lowers spare parts inventory, and lowers lifecycle costs in high cycle automation. Application: Direct mounting into the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar streamlines retrofits in space constrained automation cells. Feature: Very long cycle life—up to 25 million cycles—ensures predictable performance over the product life. Business impact: Minimizes unscheduled downtime on high-throughput machines, improving overall throughput and machine availability. Application: Suitable for packaging lines, pick-and-place, and conveying systems requiring consistent damping. Feature: Extremely low rod return force minimizes actuator load, enabling smoother cycles and reduced wear. Business impact: Extends cylinder life, enables faster cycle times without loss of control. Application: Beneficial in tight tolerance positioning and high-speed operations. Feature: Integral positive stop provides repeatable end-of-stroke positioning. Business impact: Improves repeatability, simplifies control logic, and reduces setup time. Application: Critical for long-run production lines and robotic cells requiring reliable end position. Feature: Durable steel body with black oxide finish and compact footprint (34.61 mm height, 141.22 mm length, 29.97 mm width) minimizes space needs. Business impact: Easier integration into new builds or retrofits in space constrained machines, with lower mounting complexity. Application: Suitable for European and global facilities manufactured in Austria as part of the MC Ace range.

FAQs
The MC600M is designed for direct mounting into the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar. To install, align the damper with the end cover bore, attach using the correct fasteners, and confirm there is unobstructed rod travel. Ensure the cylinder operates within the 0 to 66 °C range and re-check clearances after mounting to prevent interference with moving parts.
Key specs include maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic components with up to 25 million cycles of life. Operating temperature is 0 to 66 °C, weight 0.26 kg, dimensions 34.61 mm height, 141.22 mm length, and 29.97 mm width. The body is steel with a black oxide finish, and the unit is positioned for direct mounting on pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar.
Yes. The MC600M is built for high-cycle applications, offering long cycle life up to 25 million cycles, which translates to reduced downtime and lower maintenance frequency. Its compact form factor and direct mounting capability simplify retrofits in packaging machines, pick-and-place cells, and other rapid-dwell automation environments.
The MC600M supports CE compliance as part of standard European regulatory expectations. OEMs may provide IP-rated variants and additional safety certifications on request to meet specific plant requirements. Always verify the exact certification set with the supplier for your regional and industry needs.
The MC600M reduces maintenance needs with a maintenance-free design and extends service intervals, lowering spare-parts cost and downtime. Its long lifespan and direct mounting simplify installation, enabling faster line changes and higher uptime, which collectively improve total cost of ownership in continuous automation environments.
