Choosing the Right Actuator for Press Applications – Machine Design

Kyntronics was recently featured in Machine Design with a technical article focused on actuator selection for press applications, where performance demands, reliability, and long-term operating costs play a critical role in system success. The article examines common press application requirements and walks through the tradeoffs engineers face when evaluating different actuator technologies.

Topics include force control capability, efficiency, precision, system complexity, and maintenance considerations—providing practical guidance to help engineers make informed actuation decisions during both new machine design and retrofit projects.
