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.

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.

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.
