In this Ask the Experts video, the experts at Kyntronics provide a high-level comparison of hybrid actuators vs traditional hydraulic actuators powered by hydraulic power units (HPUs), highlighting differences in energy efficiency, system complexity, maintenance, and control.

This video covers:

  • Why continuous motor operation leads to energy inefficiency in hydraulic systems
  • How hoses, couplings, and reservoirs introduce leak and contamination risks
  • How hybrid actuators eliminate external hoses and power units
  • How onboard servo control enables precise force and position control
