Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Actuators for Clamping and Holding Applications
Actuators are commonly employed in clamping and holding applications to exert force on materials or components while securely holding them in place thus improving the quality of output. Examples include:
For reliable operation, clamping actuators require:
While traditional solutions like hydraulic power units with hydraulic cylinders or screw-type electro-mechanical actuators are commonly used in clamping applications, the Kyntronics Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuator (SHA) offers an excellent alternative. This advanced electric servo actuator outperforms conventional technologies in both efficiency and performance.
The SHA is an all-electric, totally sealed, self- contained linear actuator consisting of a cylinder, pump, manifold and servo motor with optional drive/control system. There are no hoses or leak points on the SHA vs. a traditional hydraulic cylinder / HPU system and the SHA contains minimal fluid (generally measured in ounces).

Despite being a robust high force solution, traditional hydraulic cylinders connected to Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs) have a number of shortcomings to consider when evaluating this actuation option:
Screw-type electro-mechanical actuators address some of the traditional hydraulic shortcomings however they fall short in several areas:
Testing – Clamping components for pressure testing of gas meters – Energy Industry
Metal Fabrication – Clamping material for bending and hole punching – Appliance Industry
Assembly – Clamping components for hydroforming and bending – Automotive Industry
Packaging – Long-Stroke actuators for bundling steel fabrications – Construction Industry
Tube Bending – Clamping material for forming and bending – Appliance Industry
Servo Power Units w/Customer Cylinder – Clamping metallurgical wear part components for Grinding and Polishing – Agriculture Industry
