ENHANCING CYLINDER PRECISION CONTROL AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH SERVO POWER UNITS

THE ADVANTAGES OF KYNTRONICS SERVO POWER UNITS (SPU)

Kyntronics SPUs are an alternative to inefficient HPUs by offering a compact and efficient alternative that enhances performance and reduces operating costs. They are designed for both new installations and retrofit applications, making them a flexible option for various industrial needs.

Key Benefits of SPUs:

• Energy Efficiency: Utilizing power-on-demand technology, SPUs consume energy only when needed, significantly reducing power usage compared to traditional HPUs.
• Precision Control: SPUs enable accurate control of position, force, and speed without the need for costly proportional or hydraulic servo valves.
• Low Maintenance: The sealed system eliminates the need for regular fluid changes and minimizes maintenance requirements.
• Leak Reduction: With a compact design, short hoses, and robust quick-connect fittings, SPUs lower the risk of hydraulic leaks, improving system reliability.

HOW SERVO POWER UNITS WORK

Kyntronics SPUs connect to external hydraulic cylinders or rotary motors, supplied by Kyntronics or other manufacturers. Their servo-controlled design operates by using a servo motor connected to a drive, which can be provided by Kyntronics (SPU – Total Solution) or integrated with a motor and drive provided by others (SPU –  Power Unit Only). Position sensors are mounted to the cylinder or machine mechanism for closed-loop control of position. The SPU controls the motor speed and torque using the sensor inputs for feedback. The SPU does not use expensive proportional valves or hydraulic servo valves for control.

Additionally, optional internal pressure transducers measure extend and retract pressure at the hose connection points, allowing precise force calculations in both directions. The SPU control software enables users to manage position, force, or a combination of both, making it a versatile solution for various applications.

A VERSATILE AND SCALABLE SOLUTION

SPUs offer a compact and flexible alternative to traditional hydraulic power systems. They are particularly useful in applications where Kyntronics’ Hybrid Linear Actuators (SHA) cannot fit within the available space. SPUs are compatible with most common fieldbus networks, including CanBus, Ethernet, and Modbus, facilitating seamless integration into existing machine control systems.

Available Specifications:

• Pressure Range: Up to 3,000 psi (207 bar)
• Flow Rate: Up to 7 gpm (26.7 lpm)
• Input Power: 24–80 VDC or 120–480 VAC
