Kyntronics
Innovative Actuation Solutions for Every application
Kyntronics’ Hybrid Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuators (SHA) are a groundbreaking advancement in linear actuator technology that offers a superior alternative to screw-type Electro-Mechanical Actuators (EMAs). Unlike ball screw and roller screw systems that are fragile and prone to damage from shock loads, the SHA features an innovative totally sealed design that incorporates an integral cylinder with minimal fluid that eliminates leak risk. This robust design stands up to shock loads with no metal-to-metal wear enhancing reliability and significantly reducing downtime risk, making it the ideal choice for tough applications requiring precision control and high uptime.
By choosing Kyntronics’ SHA, you invest in a durable and efficient solution that outperforms electro- mechanical ball screw / roller screw actuators positioning your operations for higher uptime and operational efficiency.
In a recent case study, Kyntronics tackled a unique challenge faced by an OEM seeking an all-electric lifting solution devoid of hydraulic lines or hydraulic power units (HPUs). Traditional screw-type actuators were deemed unsuitable due to concerns over shock loading and reliability. Kyntronics stepped in with an innovative cost-effective actuation solution, utilizing VFD drives and induction motors.
Kyntronics modular actuator design was complemented by a unique mounting configuration to ensure seamless fitment during retraction and a tailored motor mounting plate. This cutting-edge design not only eliminated the need for hydraulics but also introduced a new lift configuration that significantly reduces maintenance requirements for the end customer. Moreover, the integrated locking valves enhance safety during extension, aligning perfectly with Kyntronics’ commitment to delivering safe, reliable and efficient actuation solutions.
With a variety of actuation technologies available, it’s essential to focus on those that can meet the high-force requirements, extended stroke lengths, and robust operation needed for demanding tasks.
In the area of heavy-duty applications, traditional hydraulic systems have long been the standard; however, they come with notable limitations that can hinder performance, efficiency and reliability. Today, there is an alternative actuation choice that provides the robust high-force capability of hydraulics while eliminating the inefficiencies, excessive maintenance and high operating costs of hydraulic actuators.
