Load case
Document total moving mass, approach speed, motor or gravity drive, number of buffers, impact angle and allowable stopping distance.
Replacement selection guide
Heavy-duty hydraulic buffer replacement
Heavy-duty buffers require more than a small-bore shock absorber comparison. Identify the moving system, buffer arrangement, maximum stroke, allowable reaction force and emergency or repetitive duty.
Structure and safety
Confirm support stiffness, attachment method, permissible reaction load, fail-safe requirements and applicable machine or crane standards.

A model-number recommendation is a shortlist. EKD confirms the actual operating and installation conditions before ordering.
