Norgren MC600MH Shock Absorbers - Up to 25 Million Cycles
Part Number: MC600MH
Quick Summary
Norgren MC600MH shock absorbers provide maintenance-free hydraulic damping for pneumatic cylinders in automation systems. This solution delivers predictable, low-wear performance even in high-cycle environments, reducing downtime and servicing costs. Engineers often face wear, unexpected stops, and mounting challenges that disrupt production schedules. By combining a direct end-cover mounting capability (up to 7 bar) with an integral positive stop, the MC600MH minimizes alignment issues and simplifies retrofit projects. In addition to robust construction, the ACE MC series design supports reliable operation in typical factory environments, while CE compliance and IP rating considerations guide field deployments. For value-focused teams, the model pairs long service intervals with high cycle life, improving overall equipment effectiveness and lifecycle cost.

Maintenance-free, self-contained hydraulic dampers reduce maintenance labor and spare parts consumption, delivering a lower total cost of ownership. This translates to fewer unplanned shutdowns in high-speed packaging lines where cycle life matters, and direct mounting into the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar simplifies retrofits. Operating temperature range of 0 to 66 °C ensures consistent damping properties in typical factory environments, while the steel body with a black oxide finish provides rugged durability against mechanical wear in automation settings. The ACE MC range ensures compatibility with existing Norgren components, enabling smoother procurement and faster integration. Maximum cycle life of up to 25 million cycles supports longer service intervals and lower replacement costs, which translates to higher overall equipment effectiveness. Extremely low rod return force minimizes vibration and prolongs seal life, reducing maintenance needs and system wear. Integral positive stop reduces over-travel risk, improving reliability in fast-cycle applications. Direct end-cover mounting minimizes external hardware, lowers installation time, and enables straightforward retrofits in line upgrades. While upfront costs may be notable, lifecycle cost analyses consistently show reduced downtime and higher uptime fidelity for automation projects, improving project ROI and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
MC600MH is designed for direct mounting into the end cover of pneumatic cylinders up to 7 bar. When retrofitting, verify bore compatibility, ensure end-cover clearance, and align the damper to prevent rod side loads. Use compatible fasteners and follow the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines to maintain the integral positive stop and damping performance.
Key specs to consider are operating temperature 0 to 66 °C, effective weight range 113 to 1130 kg, and maximum cycle life up to 25 million cycles. These factors influence damping consistency, service intervals, and component longevity in high-cycle automation lines.
Yes. The MC600MH is designed for direct end-cover mounting on cylinders up to 7 bar, with a robust steel body and positive-stop design. For harsh environments, confirm enclosure IP expectations and consider protective housings or shields to maintain performance and longevity.
Certifications can vary by region. Commonly relevant standards for this class include CE compliance, safety considerations akin to SIL, and IP ratings for ingress protection. Verify the specific certifications with your distributor or the local compliance team to ensure alignment with your regulatory and safety requirements.
The MC600MH offers maintenance-free operation and up to 25 million cycles, which reduces maintenance labor, downtime, and spare parts spend. The result is higher uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and faster line changeovers, delivering a favorable return on investment in automation projects.
