Material Handling Lift: Replaced problematic hydraulics with Hybrid Linear Actuators and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Control

Challenge

A material handling equipment OEM had a customer requirement for an actuation solution that did not involve the use of an HPU or hydraulic cylinders. They were looking for a simple, cost-effective design as an LRU that incorporated an induction motor and VFD. An electro-mechanical actuator couldn’t be used for the application due to shock loading and reliability concerns.

Kyntronics Solution

  • Electric linear actuator system with variable frequency drive control using customer-supplied drive and induction motor.
  • Unique actuator mounting to ensure lift fitment when collapsed.
  • Custom 56C frame motor mounting plate.
  • Simple limit switch control with integrated holding valves.

Customer Benefits

  • An electric solution with no HPU/Hydraulics.
  • Actuator design with minimal maintenance, designed as an LRU.
  • Integrated locking valve for added safety.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 18″
Speed: 2.27 in/sec
Force: 8,890 lbf.
