HIGH FORCE SERVO CONTROL SOLUTION – ELECTRIC HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

When it comes to actuation technology for high-force applications (>1,000 lbs), machine builders often consider electro-mechanical screw-type actuators or hydraulic cylinders. However, electric hydraulic cylinders, such as Kyntronics' Hybrid Linear Actuators, offer a superior alternative by combining the best features of both technologies.

THE CHALLENGES OF TRADITIONAL ACTUATION TECHNOLOGIES

  1. Hydraulic Cylinders: Robust but complex, requiring regular maintenance, and prone to leaks. They are energy-inefficient and often require expensive additional components for precise control.
  2. Electro-Mechanical Actuators: Precise but fragile, with high maintenance costs due to metal-to-metal wear and susceptibility to damage from shock loads.

 

KYNTRONICS’ HYBRID LINEAR ACTUATORS: A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION

Our hybrid linear actuators provide a total solution package for high force applications that includes the actuator, motor, drive system, operating software, and cables. They offer:

  • High Force Capability: Up to 150,000 lbs of force.
  • Precision Servo Control: Ensures accurate position and force control.
  • Energy Efficiency: Uses power-on-demand technology to reduce energy waste.

Minimal Maintenance: Totally sealed design eliminates leaks and reduces maintenance needs.

PRECISION PROCESS CONTROL

Automated equipment requires precision control of the process to produce parts that are in-spec and the same, every cycle. The Kyntronics Hybrid Linear Actuation system was designed with precision control and process documentation in mind. The actuator incorporates a linear position sensor and force measurement pressure transducer as inputs to the servo controller. Available software controls position, force, or combination. Kyntronics “Total Solution” package performs cycle pass/fail determination, captures data for process analysis and machine diagnostics.
