the kyntronics difference

The Kyntronics SHA Advantage Infographic

Kyntronics’ actuator design combines the benefits of both screw-type actuators (EMAS) and hydraulic cylinders while eliminating their shortcomings.

Kyntronics Actuators are…

ENERGY EFFICIENT – using Power on Demand
SAFE AND RELIABLE – No Hoses, No Leaks
RUGGED AND DURABLE – Tolerates Shock and Side Loads
LOW MAINTENANCE – No Metal-to-Metal Wear
PRECISE – with Servo Control of Position, Force and Speed
CONFIGURABLE – Closed System, can be oriented in any direction

Kyntronics actuation systems are available as a “Total Solution” that includes the actuator, motor, controls, programming software and factory support.
