Linear actuators are essential components in industrial automation and robotics, enabling precise and reliable motion for a variety of applications. From manufacturing to material handling, these actuators ensure efficient, accurate, and safe operations. In this article, we explore the different types of linear actuators, how Kyntronics' innovative actuation solutions address industry challenges, and why their advanced technologies outperform traditional actuator types.

Selecting the right heavy-duty linear actuator is essential for ensuring optimal performance in industrial and mobile applications. These actuators must withstand extreme conditions, deliver high force, and maintain durability while operating with minimal maintenance. This article explores key challenges and factors to consider when choosing a heavy-duty linear actuator.

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.

Kyntronics' Hybrid Linear Actuators deliver precision, power, and efficiency across diverse applications, including long stroke actuation systems with strokes exceeding 36 inches. These advanced actuators provide high-force performance with minimal maintenance, making them essential for industries that demand reliability and energy efficiency.

Actuators play a vital role in machinery by converting energy into motion to perform specific functions. The two most commonly used types—hydraulic and electric actuators—each have distinct advantages and limitations. When selecting an actuation system, equipment builders often must choose between the types and understanding their differences is crucial for selecting the optimal solution for your application.
