Combining Hydraulic & Electric Motor Strengths for Presses – Linear Motion Tips

Kyntronics was recently featured on Linear Motion Tips in an article discussing how modern press applications can benefit from combining hydraulic power with electric servo control.

The article explores how hybrid actuation technologies integrate the strengths of both hydraulic and electric systems, delivering force capability along with precise motion and energy-efficient operation. In press applications, this approach helps manufacturers improve control, reduce maintenance requirements, and optimize overall machine performance.

Hybrid linear actuators are designed to provide the power density traditionally associated with hydraulics while incorporating the precision and efficiency of servo-driven electric systems. This combination enables machine builders and manufacturers to address common press challenges including energy consumption, system complexity, and maintenance demands.
