Recover the original identity
Photograph the nameplate, body markings and mounting. Search maintenance records, machine drawings and historic bills of material for suffixes or custom revisions.
Replacement selection guide
Discontinued and obsolete shock absorber replacement
When an old data sheet cannot be found, the installed unit and machine become the primary evidence. Record every readable suffix and measure the interface before selecting a candidate.
Reconstruct the duty
Confirm the load, speed, drive force, cycle rate, temperature and acceptable stop distance. Do not infer energy capacity from body size alone.
Continue the assessment
A model-number recommendation is a shortlist. EKD confirms the actual operating and installation conditions before ordering.
