Servo Power Unit for Washdown Applications

Challenge

A customer with stringent requirements for high performance actuation systems rated for washdown duty service. These systems must be robust, reliable, low maintenance and capable of precise control of position and force. The Kyntronics Servo Power Unit (SPU) coupled with a stain less steal cylinder provides an ideal solution for these cases.

Kyntronics Solution

  • The SPU connects to a cylinder that is IP rated appropriately for the application.
  • The SPU is located away from the washdown area or can be contained in a washdown enclosure.
  • Short hoses or tubing connect the SPU with the cylinder.
  • Total solution with drive, motor and power unit
  • Integrated customer’s cylinder
  • Servo Power Unit Features:
    • Electric solution uses power on demand to save energy
    • Servo control of position and force using external position sensor and integral pressure transducer
    • Smooth motor controlled flow; eliminates abrupt flow changes and stress on hoses / connections
    • Fully sealed, no air exposure
    • Food grade oil
    • Quiet operation
    • Works with most any linear cylinder or rotary actuator
    • Input power: 24, 36, 48, 60, 80 VDC or 240, 460 VAC
    • Fieldbus Network Connectivity
  • Cylinder Options/Features:
    • Steel or Stainless Steel construction
    • Remote Position sensor
    • Linear or rotary option
    • Single or double rod
    • Food grade oil (optional)
    • No electrical components
    • Quiet operation
