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.
| Parameter | Enidine OEMXT 1.5M x 1 | EKD EK42x25 | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy per cycle | 425 J (Nm) | 425 Nm/C | Matched reported value A catalog rating comparison only; effective mass, drive force and deceleration remain application checks. |
| Energy per hour | 126,000 J/h | 126,000 Nm/h | Matched reported value Confirm the actual cycle rate and thermal conditions. |
| Stroke | 25 mm | 25 mm | Matched reported value Confirm usable travel, stop position and reset clearance. |
| Body thread | M42 x 1.5 | M42 x 1.5 | Matched reported value Different threads require a mounting change or adapter review. |
| Nominal total length | 144 mm | 144 mm | Matched reported value Check the drawing reference points, installed envelope and rod-end geometry. |
| Impact velocity | 0.3–3.5 m/s | 0.3–3.5 m/s | Inquiry confirmation required Compare the real operating point, not only the published maximum. |
| Published force limit | 20,000 N | 20,000 N max impact force | Inquiry 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.
