Kyntronics is at the forefront of actuation technology innovation, and our Hybrid Linear Actuator (SHA) is transforming the industry. By integrating the best attributes of hydraulic and electric actuators, the SHA overcomes common challenges and sets a new standard for efficiency, reliability, and precision.
The Challenges of Traditional Actuators
Conventional actuators have inherent limitations that affect operational performance and cost-effectiveness:
- Hydraulic Actuators: While capable of delivering high force, these actuators are prone to leaks, require extensive maintenance, and involve complex systems with pumps, hoses, and valves. Their inefficiency leads to higher operational costs.
- Electro-Mechanical Actuators (EMAs): Offer precise motion control but are susceptible to premature wear and damage from shock loads. This results in frequent maintenance and reduced long-term reliability.
To address these challenges, an advanced actuation technology is essential.

KYNTRONICS’ HYBRID LINEAR ACTUATOR: A REVOLUTIONARY SOLUTION
The SHA is an all-electric actuation system that integrates high-precision servo control with an integral pump and cylinder. It combines the best features of hydraulic and electro-mechanical actuation while eliminating their shortcomings. This innovative design provides several key advantages:
- High Force Capability – Delivers significantly higher force than traditional EMAs. The force range is <100 lbs. (0.4 kN) to 150,000 lbs. (667 kN)
- Speed: Up to 34.5 in/s (877 mm/s)
- Stroke Length: Up to 120 in. (3,048 mm)
- Input Power: 24–80 VDC or 120–480 VAC
- Shock Load Tolerance – Superior resistance to shock loads reducing maintenance and downtime risk.
- Energy Efficiency – Power-on-demand technology lowers energy consumption by operating only when needed.
- Minimal Maintenance – A fully sealed, leak-proof design eliminates the need for frequent servicing.
- Precision Control – Enables highly accurate control of position, force, and speed, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.
