Lifting / Positioning Applications

Precision, Efficiency, and Reliability for Next-Generation Manufacturing

PRECISION ACTUATORS FOR LIFTING & POSITIONING EQUIPMENT

In today’s fast-paced automation landscape, the demand for precise lifting and machine positioning has never been greater. Across industries, from manufacturing and construction to food processing, defense, and medical equipment—engineers rely on actuators to generate controlled force with unmatched precision and reliability.

Kyntronics hybrid servo actuators and servo power units are trusted in these applications for their compact force density, rugged design, low maintenance, and precise, programmable motion control.

 

COMMON LIFTING & POSITIONING APPLICATIONS FOR KYNTRONICS ACTUATORS:

  • Lift Tables: Deliver programmable, high-force lifting with shock load tolerance in a compact, space-saving footprint.
  • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): DC-powered actuator systems offer low energy consumption and reliable lift performance.
  • Converting Equipment: Precisely position slitter knives, control roll feed, and perform high-speed cutting operations with confidence.
  • Defense, Military & Security Systems: Benefit from ruggedized actuator designs with high ingress protection and minimal maintenance.
  • Food Processing Machinery: Utilize washdown-capable actuators built for hygienic environments, with consistent performance and precision.
  • Coil Handling Systems: Support heavy-duty lifting with accurate force control for dense or irregular materials.
  • Medical Imaging Devices: Enable quiet, smooth, and programmable positioning for tables, scanners, or surgical platforms.

 

ADVANTAGES OF KYNTRONICS ACTUATORS FOR LIFTING & POSITIONING:

  • High Force in a Compact Package: Integrate lifting actuators into tight spaces while maintaining exceptional lifting power.
  • Servo Precision Control: Achieve smooth, responsive movement for demanding positioning applications, where timing, acceleration, and accuracy matter.
  • Electric Actuation Option: Eliminate the complexity and upkeep of hydraulic systems with reliable hybrid actuator technology.
  • Built for Shock Loads: Tolerates sudden loads and impacts without sacrificing actuator performance or lifespan.
  • Lower Maintenance, Higher Reliability: Fewer moving parts, sealed systems, and power-on-demand design reduce downtime and energy use.

Compared to traditional hydraulic cylinders or roller screw EMAs, Kyntronics actuators offer a cleaner, smarter, and more durable solution for lifting and positioning tasks in automated systems.
