Customer Success: Sustainable 60-Ton Press with Hybrid Linear Actuator

Challenge

A manufacturer of backup power generation equipment was introducing a new metal forming press that required 60 tons (120,000 lbs.) of pressing force. Traditional hydraulics were not an option due to a company-wide initiative to eliminate hydraulic systems and align with sustainability goals. The sustainable actuator solution also needed to integrate seamlessly with Rockwell Automation servo motors and drives to ensure standardization across the facility.

Kyntronics Solution

  • High-Force Linear Actuator – Actuator Only rated for 120,000 lbf.
  • Position and force sensors for closed-loop control of position and force during the pressing cycle.
  • Servo-driven press actuator provided direct mounting of Rockwell Automation VPC servo motors.

Customer Benefit

  • Reduced energy consumption using power-on-demand
  • Avoided use of hydraulics, resulting in an environmentally friendly sustainable solution with lower maintenance requirements.
  • Improved quality of parts using precise position and force control.
  • Incorporated Rockwell Automation Servo Motors and Drives for standardization in the facility.

Application Requirements

Force: 120,000 lbf.
Stroke: 42”
Speed: 0.4 in/sec
