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.

Special Servo Power Unit Configuration for Military Customer

A Military customer required a special Servo Power Unit (SPU) that would operate their existing cylinders and provide several unique features:

• Provide 85,000 lbf @ 7 in/sec. Approximately 130 HP
• Manual backup to operate the cylinder in the event of a power outage
• Redundant operation

Find out more about this Multi-Servo Power Unit solution and how Kyntronics can help with your special application requirements.

SHA vs Roller Screw Actuator Cost Difference

Considering a Roller- Screw Actuator for your project?

Kyntronics Hybrid 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.

Don’t be Deceived by the Name

Our product is called a hybrid 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.
