Hybrid Actuators: Engineered to Outperform Legacy Technologies

Outperform hydraulic, electro-mechanical, pneumatic, and air-over-oil systems with hybrid actuators designed for efficiency, durability, built-in diagnostics, and smarter machine performance.
Compare Hybrid Actuation vs Traditional Technologies

Kyntronics Hybrid Actuators (Total Actuation Solution or Actuator Only) combine sealed hydraulic power with precise servo control and built-in diagnostics, delivering the durability legacy systems can’t match with the reliability and intelligence modern operations demand.

POWER-ON-DEMAND FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION

Hybrid linear actuators only draw power when movement is required — not continuously like hydraulic power units (HPUs) or compressor systems. With no metal-on-metal wear points driving friction and heat waste, hybrid actuators deliver efficient, reliable motion across the duty cycle.

  • Energy savings with power-on-demand
  • No friction-based wear that generates wasted heat
  • Eliminates constantly running HPUs and leaky compressed air systems

FEWER FAILURE POINTS

A sealed hybrid design eliminates maintenance-heavy components—no pumps, reservoirs, hoses, valves, screws, lubrication, rebuild kits, or compressor upkeep. Fewer parts to maintain means fewer opportunities for costly downtime.

  • No ball screws, gearboxes, or belts to service
  • No hoses, reservoirs, or hydraulic leak paths
  • No pneumatic pressure loss or adjustments
  • No lubrication, rebuilds, or filter changeouts

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE ACROSS DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

Hybrid actuators maintain consistent force and position control. This ensures quality doesn’t degrade — even in load conditions that cause failure or backlash in other technologies.

  • Stable force protects tolerances and dimensional accuracy
  • Repeatable motion over millions of cycles without drift
  • Performs reliably in applications that produce shock-loading and side-loading
  • No backlash, metal-to-metal wear, or pressure instability impacting quality
