In the fast-paced world of industrial manufacturing, presses play a crucial role in applications like composite molding, sheet metal stamping, and precision forming. However, traditional hydraulic actuation systems commonly used on presses present major challenges, including:

❌ High energy consumption
❌ Frequent fluid leaks
❌ Costly maintenance
❌ Limited Precision

Kyntronics’ Hybrid Linear Actuation (SHA) systems offer an innovative solution—combining the best features of hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuators to create actuation technology with servo-driven precision with  high energy efficiency, reliability, and performance.

COMMON CHALLENGES WITH INDUSTRIAL PRESS APPLICATIONS

Industrial presses must deliver high force, precise motion control, and long-term reliability. Yet, existing actuator solutions have significant limitations:

Traditional Hydraulic Actuators

✅ Provide high force but are energy-inefficient

❌ Require bulky HPUs, hoses, and reservoirs

❌ Prone to fluid leaks and high maintenance

Electric Servo Actuators

✅ Offer precise position control

❌ Lack the power and durability for many press applications

❌ More expensive for high-force solutions

How can manufacturers get the best of both worlds?
