EN12x10 is a model-based replacement recommendation. Final selection must be based on actual operating conditions, mounting and application review. Model-number matching is a recommendation only; final selection must be based on actual operating conditions.

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.

ParameterSMC RBL1006EKD EN12x10Assessment
Energy per cycle3.9 J (Nm)12 Nm/CMeets reported rating

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

Energy per hour16,464 J/h31,020 Nm/hMeets reported rating

Confirm the actual cycle rate and thermal conditions.

Confirm usable travel, stop position and reset clearance.

Body threadM10 x 1.0M12 x 1.0Different — confirm

Different threads require a mounting change or adapter review.

Impact velocity0.05–5.0 m/s0.08–8 m/sInquiry confirmation required

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

Published force limit422 N2,000 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.
