Kyntronics Blog
Our Blog provides useful information on all-electric linear actuators and actuation systems with a focus on how to meet manufacturers and industry challenges.
In previous articles, we’ve talked about the benefits of using an electro-hydraulic linear actuator compared with other actuation choices including roller screw and ball screw electro-mechanical actuators or traditional hydraulic cylinder actuators. But how do electro-hydraulic actuators actually work? We will explore that topic in this article.
Kyntronics actuation systems are successfully applied in virtually every application and industry. We have helped many of our customers solve actuation problems and improve their equipment by providing them with configured actuators from our linear actuator product family. One of the many applications that our actuators are used on is presses.
High speed linear actuators are improving productivity in industrial automation applications by offering rapid movement without sacrificing precision servo control. However, finding the correct high speed linear actuator while balancing other performance factors can be a challenge. This article will address some of the common questions we hear regarding high speed linear actuators.
Linear actuators are a critical component of industrial automation machinery and robotic systems. They provide the functionality and motion necessary for nearly every type of moving equipment, regardless of the type of actuation system or end-use application. Linear actuators provide efficient, accurate, precise and safe operations for manufacturing, testing, material handling, positioning, pressing, valve operation and many other applications–but which type of actuator is the best choice for your equipment?
There are many types of actuation technologies available but only certain types can reliably handle the high force requirements, extended stroke length, robust operation and environmental hardening of heavy-duty industrial and mobile applications. In these cases, selecting the appropriate heavy-duty linear actuator is vital for achieving the desired outcome in these highly demanding situations.
When it comes to actuation technology for higher forces (>1,000 lbs.), there are generally two actuation types considered by machine builders; electro-mechanical screw-type actuators or hydraulic cylinders powered by a hydraulic power unit.
