Actuation Insights for Pressing Applications

Discover how hybrid actuation enhances pressing applications. Download the Playbook for energy savings, precision, and real world results.

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.

SYNCHRONIZED HYBRID ACTUATORS IMPROVE CONTROL AND EFFICIENCY IN ALUMINUM PUNCH PRESS

Watch the application video to see how a leading office furniture manufacturer upgraded an aging punch press using two synchronized Hybrid Linear Actuators.

Key Results:
→ Eliminated hydraulic leaks and reduced maintenance
→ Lower energy consumption vs. legacy hydraulics
→ Longer tooling life with precise position and force control using synchronized Hybrid Actuators

Check out the full punch press success story.
