Brand replacement research

Socitec wire rope isolator replacement assessment

Wire rope isolator matching is based on static load, axis, deflection, natural frequency, shock input, mounting pattern and environment. A shock-absorber energy comparison is not used for this product type.

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.

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.

Continue the assessment

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