FUTURE READY: PROGRAMMABLE LINEAR ACTUATORS WITH FIELDBUS CAPABILITIES

WHAT MAKES A LINEAR ACTUATOR PROGRAMMABLE?

A programmable linear actuator allows engineers to control motion characteristics like position, force, dwell, acceleration, deceleration, and speed directly within the actuator system. The Kyntronics Hybrid Linear Actuator (SHA) Solution performs all the closed loop control, making it simple for the PLC to send basic commands (targets start/stop etc.), reducing engineering & integration efforts.

Our Servo Power-on-Demand Total Solution delivers fully configurable motion options, including:

• Selectable position, force, or position-with-force-limit control (switch seamlessly between modes)
• Synchronization of multiple actuators for coordinated motion
• Locking and hold logic for safety and stability
• Auto-tuning for consistent performance across varying loads

These programmable control advantages extend beyond Hybrid Actuators. The same motion intelligence, control flexibility, and software architecture are also built into the Kyntronics Compact Servo Power Unit (SPU) — delivering identical programmability features across both systems. These built-in capabilities simplify setup, reduce programming time, and eliminate the need for complex external hardware all while improving system reliability.

INTEGRATED FIELDBUS AND OPTIONAL HMI FOR EFFORTLESS CONTROL

Every Kyntronics Total Solution programmable hybrid actuator and servo power unit includes standard Fieldbus connectivity, making integration with automation platforms like Rockwell, Siemens, and many others, straightforward.

For applications that require a stand-alone solution, our system’s optional HMI provides full visibility and control through an intuitive touchscreen interface. Users can easily access:

• Diagnostics and setup tools
• Indexing and sequencing functions
• Recipe management
• Quality signature checks
• Data logging for performance tracking

SIMPLIFIED INTEGRATION: A COMPLETE, STAND-ALONE SOLUTION

Many machine builders and OEMs don’t have the time or resources to develop complex control logic or do not have a Master PLC. That’s where Kyntronics makes all the difference.

Our engineering team provides complete support — from initial configuration to programming assistance — ensuring every actuator performs as intended. Customers can send high-level commands to run their process while we handle the complexity behind the scenes.

This plug-and-play approach delivers a complete, flexible, and stand-alone solution, something many other actuator manufacturers do not offer. While most actuation companies offer “programmable” features in name only, Kyntronics delivers full integration:

• Programmable motion profiles (indexes & sequences)
• Built-in Fieldbus connectivity
• On-board intelligence and HMI interface
• Expert support to make implementation effortless

Kyntronics hybrid actuators redefine what’s possible in motion control, delivering a programmable, intelligent, and complete solution that simplifies your process and improves performance.
