Hybrid Linear Actuator (SHA) Sizing Guide

Sizing a Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (SHA)

Kyntronics’ all-electric, Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuators (SHA) solve manufacturing challenges. Our Hybrid Actuators have shorter lead-times and maximum flexibility with a wide array of mounting options, configurations, and optional features.

Sizing the right hybrid electro servo actuator can be done in 5 easy steps.

1. Load – Determine the force needed to complete the desired work.
2. Speed – Determine the speed requirements of the system. This can be given in terms of in/s or mm/s.
3. Stroke Length – Determine the distance of travel the actuator needs to move for work to be completed.
4. Duty Cycle – Confirm the duty cycle time of the operation. This is the total run time and rest time throughout the day.
5. Machine Fit – Choose the product configuration and mounting options for the rod end and actuator mount.
