Enidine OEMXT 1.5M x 1 replacement option: EK42x25 comparison

Compare published Enidine OEMXT 1.5M x 1 ratings with the EKD EK42x25 candidate, including energy, stroke, mounting differences and inquiry checks.

EK42x25 can be evaluated as a replacement option because it meets the compared energy, hourly-duty and stroke thresholds. Mounting, velocity, force, cycle and machine conditions must still be confirmed.

Published parameter comparison

The table compares published catalog values. A higher rating can identify a performance candidate, but it does not remove mounting, force, reset, environment or application checks.

ParameterEnidine OEMXT 1.5M x 1EKD EK42x25Assessment
Energy per cycle425 J (Nm)425 Nm/CMatched reported value

A catalog rating comparison only; effective mass, drive force and deceleration remain application checks.

Energy per hour126,000 J/h126,000 Nm/hMatched reported value

Confirm the actual cycle rate and thermal conditions.

Stroke25 mm25 mmMatched reported value

Confirm usable travel, stop position and reset clearance.

Body threadM42 x 1.5M42 x 1.5Matched reported value

Different threads require a mounting change or adapter review.

Nominal total length144 mm144 mmMatched reported value

Check the drawing reference points, installed envelope and rod-end geometry.

Impact velocity0.3–3.5 m/s0.3–3.5 m/sInquiry confirmation required

Compare the real operating point, not only the published maximum.

Published force limit20,000 N20,000 N max impact forceInquiry confirmation required

The manufacturers may define force ratings differently; verify the machine limit and deceleration curve.

What must be matched and confirmed

  • Actual moving mass, impact velocity and drive force
  • Mounting thread, stop geometry and available envelope
  • Cycle rate, return time and permissible deceleration
  • Temperature, corrosion, alignment and side loading

Continue with EKD review

Open the EKD candidate, then use the matching tool or send the original nameplate, drawing and application data. EKD will confirm the remaining differences before ordering.
