Lifting / Positioning / Material Handling: Advanced Material Lift Platform Solutions Featuring Synchronized Electric Actuators

Challenge

A material handling equipment manufacturer for the construction industry had issues with a rack and pinion design on a material delivery platform lift. They required a material lift solution that incorporated synchronized positioning actuators held to 0.010” position accuracy. They did not want to use hydraulics, and electro-mechanical actuators were unable to handle the force loading requirements.

Kyntronics Solution

  • Four “Total Solution” electric linear actuators with controls, cables, and rated IP67.
  • Synchronized position control of all four actuators to prevent binding of the platform lift mechanism.
  • Increased load capability of 24,000 lbs.

Customer Benefits

  • Achieved desired synchronization specs (+/-.010”)
  • No binding on the lift system
  • Easy integration into existing platform design

Application Requirements

Stroke: 24″
Speed: 2 in/sec
Force: 24,000 lbf. overall
