Lifting / Positioning: Optimize Space, Weight, and Power with Reliable Long-Stroke Electric Linear Actuator Solution for Shipboard Lifting

Challenge

A military customer had a project to retrofit existing hydraulic power units and actuators on shipboard lifting equipment. They needed a long stroke lifting actuator for a control console lifting mechanism with a manual backup feature and reliable operation over a wide temperature range. The controls needed to be packaged in a stainless-steel enclosure with an HMI and software.

Kyntronics Solution

  • “Total Solution” long-stroke electric linear actuator including drive, control and HMI in a stainless-steel enclosure. Factory-tuned with application software to operate the lift system.
  • Power on-demand operation.
  • Manual backup drive for power loss situations.
  • Heater for extremely cold environments.

Customer Benefits

  • Actuation solution that optimized Space, Weight and Power (SWaP), critical for shipboard equipment.
  • Met the customer’s requirement to eliminate the HPU and hydraulic cylinders resulting in reduced operating costs, lower energy consumption and lower maintenance.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 75″
Force: 5,000 lbf.
