Industrial Actuators

Industrial linear actuators are an integral part of machines used in manufacturing, automated assembly, mobile equipment, metal fabrication, pressing, welding, and much more. Linear actuation systems used in industrial environments must be rugged and reliable, able to withstand high shock loads while providing extremely precise control over movement speed and positioning.

Conventional hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic linear actuators powered by hydraulic power units are often used in these applications however Kyntronics SMART electro-hydraulic actuators are frequently chosen due to their superior performance as machine builders move away from the inherent problems with industrial hydraulic cylinders and systems. Ball screw and roller screw actuators are sometimes deployed however they are more fragile and are susceptible to damage and pre-mature failure from shock loads, side loading and concentrated loading conditions.

The design of Kyntronics electro-hydraulic actuators makes them universally applicable to nearly all industrial actuator applications including heavy duty linear actuator applications requiring extreme force. They are a totally sealed design with an integral cylinder driven by an attached motor and pump operating on a closed circuit using a small volume of fluid that is not exposed to the environment, preventing contamination. There are no gears, screws or other mechanical components required.

Kyntronics industrial actuators provide unique benefits not available with other actuation technologies:

• Energy savings using power-on-demand.
• Low maintenance; the actuator does not require fluid changes unlike hydraulic actuators or regular lubrication required by ball screw or roller screw type actuators.
• Robust design with high tolerance for shock loads, side-loading and end stop crashes that damage ball screw and roller screw actuators.
• Totally sealed design avoids risk of leaks unlike traditional hydraulic cylinders.
• No metal-to-metal wear improving reliability unlike screw-type actuators.

Kyntronics electro-hydraulic actuators are found in nearly every industry on a variety of applications including:

• Presses
• Assembly
• Metal Bending
• Lifting
• Hole punching
• Material Handling
• Packaging
• Testing
• Clamping
• Extruding
• Molding
• Valve Control
