Kyntronics’ Hybrid Linear Actuators (SHA) provide a flexible alternative. By utilizing fluid for the power transmission method, these actuators offer unmatched flexibility and multiple configuration options, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

THE LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL ACTUATORS

Conventional screw-type actuators are typically available in only a few configurations, such as inline or parallel styles. These limitations reduce their ability to fit within space-constrained designs and customized applications. As a result, industries requiring precision and flexibility often struggle with these traditional solutions.
