How EKD candidates are shortlisted
Published energy per cycle, hourly duty, stroke, velocity and force are checked first. Mounting thread, total length, stop geometry and environmental requirements are then treated as separate confirmation items.
Brand replacement research
Festo YSR-C shock absorber replacement options
The YSR-C pages cover the published series from YSR-4-4-C through YSR-32-60-C. Each page separates performance capacity from thread, length and force checks.

What to send for a final check
Send the full model code, nameplate or drawing, moving mass, impact velocity, drive force, cycles per hour, installation position and temperature. A model-family similarity alone is not a replacement approval.

A published comparison is a shortlist. EKD confirms the remaining application and installation conditions before ordering.
