Innovative Actuation Solutions for Every application
Kyntronics is proud to share that Carl Richter, President of Kyntronics, recently participated as a featured panelist in the Power & Motion webinar, Fluid Power vs. Electric Actuators: Understanding Their Differences and Use Cases.
The webinar brought together industry experts to discuss how engineers can evaluate and select the most appropriate actuation technology based on application requirements, performance objectives, and long-term operational considerations.
The webinar covers:
As manufacturing systems continue to evolve, engineers are increasingly looking for solutions that balance power, precision, reliability, maintenance, and energy efficiency. The webinar provides valuable guidance for organizations evaluating fluid power, electric, and hybrid actuation solutions.
Electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, and hybrid actuators each offer distinct advantages and trade-offs. Understanding how they work and where they perform best is essential when designing for precision, force, speed, efficiency, and reliability.
Our latest insight takes a closer look at the four major actuation technologies, including their strengths, limitations, and ideal applications.
Modernizing a hydraulic system doesn’t have to mean replacing the entire hydraulic unit or redesigning the machine.
Kyntronics’ Power Unit (SPU) provides a practical path to electrification by replacing the traditional, centralized HPU with electric servo power and control while using the customer’s existing hydraulic cylinder. Its compact design places power closer to where the motion occurs.
The result? Hydraulic force with servo precision—done simpler.
The SPU reduces the need for large reservoirs, valves, manifolds, hoses, and other hydraulic infrastructure while delivering servo-level control of force, speed, and position using servo motor speed and torque control. No need to replace the mechanicals, just upgrade the power and control.
Five Outcomes of Hydraulic Modernization: • Electrify – Replace centralized hydraulic power with electric servo power. • Simplify – Reduce hydraulic infrastructure and complexity. • Control – Gain precise force, speed, and position control. • Optimize – Reduce energy use, fluid volume, maintenance, and leakage. • Retrofit – Modernize existing equipment without replacing the hydraulic actuator.
See how the Kyntronics SPU can replace a traditional HPU while minimizing machine modifications and providing a practical path to hydraulic modernization and electrification.
