A fast, practical resource for anyone evaluating or upgrading actuation technology for pressing applications.

WHY HYBRID ACTUATION MATTERS IN PRESSING

Pressing applications are at the heart of countless manufacturing processes: metal forming, component assembly, thermal forming & laminating, powdered material forming, laminated material bonding and many others.

No matter the industry, the challenge is always the same : delivering the correct force consistently and efficiently with minimal maintenance and downtime. Hybrid Linear Actuators combine the power and robustness of hydraulics with the precision and controllability of electric actuators.

• Unmatched Power & Precision: Force ratings from 100 to 150,000 lbs. with smooth, precise control.
• Energy Efficiency: Power-on-demand technology reduces energy waste and operational costs.
• Leak-Free, Low Maintenance: A sealed, self-contained design eliminates the need for bulky HPUs, hoses, or reservoirs.
• Scalability & Flexibility: Multiple actuators can be synchronized for high-force applications.
• Future Ready: Industry 4.0 integration enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and IoT capabilities.
• High Shock-Load Tolerance: Handles the impact forces common in pressing applications without screw wear or duty-cycle limitations seen in traditional EMAs.
• Programmable Press Profiles: Supports fast recipe changes with precise, repeatable control of force, position, speed, and dwell.
• Built-In Quality Verification: Delivers real-time force/position data, cycle traceability, and pass/fail thresholds for consistent part quality and process validation.
