HOW DOES A HYBRID LINEAR ACTUATOR WORK

WHAT IS A HYBRID LINEAR ACTUATOR?

Kyntronics’ hybrid linear actuator integrates the power of hydraulics with the precision of electric control, offering a self-contained, sealed, and maintenance-friendly alternative to traditional hydraulic and electro-mechanical and pneumatic systems.

KEY FEATURES OF KYNTRONICS’ HYBRID LINEAR ACTUATORS

• Power Source: AC or DC electrical input
• Key Components: Integrated cylinder, motor, pump, and control system
• Operation: Closed design with a small volume of sealed hydraulic fluid

Unlike conventional hydraulic systems, our hybrid actuators eliminate external hoses, pumps, and reservoirs, reducing leak risks and maintenance costs.

HOW IT WORKS: PRECISION IN MOTION

Our hybrid linear actuators operate with a closed-system design ensuring smooth, controlled motion in demanding industrial applications.

Actuator Operation

1. Extension: Motor rotates pump in one direction to extend piston rod.
2. Retraction: Motor reverses direction to retract piston rod.
3. Control: Integrated position sensors or limit switches provide real-time feedback, ensuring precise and repeatable movement. An optional pressure transducer is used to measure the force exerted by the piston rod.

Hybrid actuators enable programmable positioning, speed regulation, and load monitoring, making them ideal for automation and Industry 4.0 applications.
