Replacement selection guide

Industrial shock absorber replacement and cross-reference guide

Use this route when the original model is known but no reviewed model page exists. EKD can shortlist adjustable or self-compensating products after the operating conditions and mounting interface are provided.

Performance inputs

Provide moving mass, impact velocity, drive force, stroke and cycles per hour. These determine energy per cycle, hourly duty and the required deceleration behavior.

Mechanical inputs

Provide thread, total length, stop position, rod-end geometry, installation angle and available clearance. Higher energy capacity does not make an incompatible thread fit.

Continue the assessment

A published comparison is a shortlist. EKD confirms the remaining application and installation conditions before ordering.
