A quick overview of how linear actuators work and the differences between electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, and hybrid actuator technologies.
Learn how position feedback improves linear actuator precision, repeatability, cycle time, and quality verification across actuator technologies.
A gas meter manufacturer needed a precise, reliable clamping actuation solution to hold gas meter housings during pressure testing.
Each fixture required two clamping actuators capable of applying enough force to properly seal the housing without deforming or damaging it.
Kyntronics provided two synchronized pairs of Total Solution hybrid linear actuators with integrated force feedback, delivering precise clamping and seamless Ethernet/IP integration with the customer’s control system.
Customer Outcomes: → Precise force control – reliable sealing without damaging meter housing → Consistent, repeatable clamping for accurate pressure testing → Eliminated complex hydraulic components → Simplified system design – lower maintenance & improved reliability
Force control and force monitoring are common requirements in industrial actuation systems. In many applications such as clamping and testing, accurate force measurement supports repeatable processes, quality verification, and data collection, while closed-loop force control enables precise, consistent results across cycles and helps detect machine issues.
In this technical bulletin, we break down how Hybrid Linear Actuators combine hydraulic force capability with servo control to deliver accurate force measurement and closed-loop control using integrated pressure transducers to provide force feedback.
