A chassis system manufacturer needed to retool a Tier-1 automotive hydroforming line to accommodate a new model design change. The new line required the flexibility to produce both the current OEM product and the new product at higher volumes. As a requirement for the new machine design, the manufacturer wanted to eliminate the messy and…

Traditional clamp and press mode actuation applications have a rapid stroke at a low force while requiring a steep ramp-up to a high force for a short period. These demanding parameters typically result in the expensive oversizing of the hydraulic infrastructure to meet speed and force requirements. Within this large machine footprint, position and force…

Kyntronics has developed the SMART Hydraulic Actuator (SHA), a major development in power-on-demand servo-controlled, variable speed actuation. This new actuation technology combines advantages of hydraulics and electromechanical servo technology minus their disadvantages, engineered in a all-in-one, scaleable, modular assembly. New to the OEM market, the Kyntronics’ SHA advantage represents the world’s only standard, all-in-one (variable-speed…
