What Shock Absorber Sizing does

EKD VibroAbsorber is an online shock absorber sizing selector designed for mechanical engineers and machinery designers. It guides users through a selection process where they specify linear or rotary motion types and enter operating conditions relevant to their equipment. The calculator processes input parameters to determine stopping-energy requirements and recommend matching EKD product models, making it accessible for engineers to explore different shock absorber configurations. The result view shows the required stopping energy, key assumptions, and matching product options to meet implemented criteria.

Step by step

How to use the VibroAbsorber Shock Absorber Sizing

  1. 1

    Select the motion type (linear or rotary) and drive condition in the selector

  2. 2

    Enter operating conditions relevant to your equipment, including orientation and stopping parameters

  3. 3

    Calculate stopping energy and force based on the entered parameters

  4. 4

    Review the result view that shows required stopping energy, key assumptions, and matching EKD product models

Is it right for you

Best for

Mechanical engineers and machinery designers who need to size industrial shock absorbers for linear or rotary motion equipment.

Limitations

  • Results are based on specific input parameters and assumptions
  • Matching is limited to EKD product models available in the catalog
  • No unit switching between imperial and metric systems indicated in the material
