Replacement selection guide

Wire rope isolator replacement and cross-reference

Wire rope isolators are not selected with hydraulic shock-absorber energy ratings. The required data are static load, axis, deflection, shock spectrum, natural frequency, mounting and environment.

Mechanical comparison

Record load per mount, number and orientation of mounts, height, width, hole pattern, cable diameter and allowable deflection.

Dynamic and environmental comparison

Provide shock input, vibration range, target isolation, temperature, corrosion, fluids and service-life expectations.

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