Actuators - The Best of Both Worlds

Historically there were Two Actuation Options: Electro-Mechanical Screw- Type Actuators (EMAs) and Hydraulic Cylinders powered by HPUs.

Now There is a Better Option!

An actuator that combines the best of both EMA and HPU technology while eliminating their shortcomings.

DISCOVER THE SMART CHOICE

Make your Presses Smarter, More Efficient and More Precise

Kyntronics All-In-One SMART Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (SHA) are used extensively in press applications including:

• Metal Forming

Cost Comparison at Different Force Ratings

Kyntronics SMART Electro-Hydraulic Actuator (SHA) vs.  Electro-Mechanical Roller Screw Actuator (EMA)

SHA vs Roller Screw Actuator Cost Difference

Considering a Roller- Screw Actuator for your project?

Kyntronics SMART Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (SHA) provide considerable cost savings vs. Roller-Screw Actuators, particularly in high rated-force applications. The SHA also provides higher resistance to shock- loads, extended life, higher reliability, and lower maintenance than Roller-Screw actuators.

Assumptions:

• Includes: Actuator, Servo Motor, Servo Drive
• 24" Stroke Length, add 15% Premium to Roller Screw if longer
• Standard Configuration, Standard L10 Roller Screw Life Amounts are Approximate
• Distributor Net Cost

COMPARE THE ADVANTAGES

Don't be Deceived by the Name

Although our product is called a SMART electro-hydraulic actuator, the SHA uses a minimal amount of fluid. For example, a cylinder that produces 10,000 Lbs. of force with an 8” stroke only requires 14 oz of fluid, often less than the lubrication in a mechanical gearbox.

Remember the SHA is a fully sealed system, unlike traditional HPUs with hydraulic cylinders, it does not require fluid changes or fluid replenishment.

Kyntronics’ in Fluid Power Journal Article

Kyntronics' Carl Richter was recently featured in the 2023 January Fluid Power Journal issue for his article: "Peaceful Coexistence - Can Hydraulic Actuators Play Well with Others".

Good news! Hydraulic and screw-type electric actuators have found a way to co-exist and a new hybrid actuator technology that combines the benefits of these two technologies while eliminating their shortcomings has emerged.

Read article, to see the direction the industry and actuators are heading. And visit Kyntronics' product page to see why 'SMART' is in our electro-hydraulic actuator name.
