Browse brand and seriesHow candidates are selected
Published energy, hourly duty, stroke, force, velocity and dimensions are compared with the EKD catalog. A higher capacity can support a candidate, but mounting and actual machine duty remain separate checks.
Confirm before ordering
Send the original nameplate, drawing, moving mass, impact velocity, cycle rate, drive force and environmental conditions. EKD will confirm unresolved differences.
Common replacement questions
Does a matching model number confirm interchangeability?
No. Model-number matching is a recommendation. Final selection depends on the actual moving mass, velocity, drive force, cycle rate, mounting, environment and allowable deceleration.
Why can a higher energy rating still require review?
A higher capacity does not confirm thread, total length, stop geometry, velocity range, return time or reaction force. These differences remain visible in reviewed records.
What if only the original model number is available?
Use the brand and series library to locate the reference, then submit a nameplate photo or drawing. Identity-only records stay marked as pending until the application and dimensions are confirmed.
