Minimum dimensions
Record thread, stroke, extended and compressed length, body diameter, rod-end form, wrench flats and stop position.
Replacement selection guide
Use product pages for current EKD specifications. For a competitor replacement, attach the original data sheet, dimensional drawing or CAD file so reference points and mounting interfaces can be compared.
Record thread, stroke, extended and compressed length, body diameter, rod-end form, wrench flats and stop position.
A PDF drawing is normally enough for first review. STEP or other CAD data should be treated as geometry evidence, not proof of performance equivalence.
A published comparison is a shortlist. EKD confirms the remaining application and installation conditions before ordering.
