SMC RBL1006 replacement option: EN12x10 comparison
Compare published SMC RBL1006 ratings with the EKD EN12x10 candidate and confirm the actual application conditions.
Browse SMC RBL coolant-resistant modelsEN12x10 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.
| Parameter | SMC RBL1006 | EKD EN12x10 | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy per cycle | 3.9 J (Nm) | 12 Nm/C | Meets reported rating A catalog rating comparison only; effective mass, drive force and deceleration remain application checks. |
| Energy per hour | 16,464 J/h | 31,020 Nm/h | Meets reported rating Confirm the actual cycle rate and thermal conditions. |
| Stroke | 6 mm | 10.4 mm | Meets reported rating Confirm usable travel, stop position and reset clearance. |
| Body thread | M10 x 1.0 | M12 x 1.0 | Different — confirm Different threads require a mounting change or adapter review. |
| Impact velocity | 0.05–5.0 m/s | 0.08–8 m/s | Inquiry confirmation required Compare the real operating point, not only the published maximum. |
| Published force limit | 422 N | 2,000 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
