Kyntronics is bringing a new era of motion control to the AUTOMATE Show in Chicago with the debut of the HyCore™ Hybrid Actuator (HCA) — a cost-effective, simplified hybrid actuator designed to deliver precision motion with a low cost-to-force ratio in a compact, self-contained package.

Attendees can see the HyCore™ Actuator firsthand at Booth #233 in the South Building, where Kyntronics will showcase how this low-cost hybrid technology helps OEMs and machine builders simplify integration, reduce operating costs, and improve performance in demanding industrial environments.

Designed for OEM, automation, and mobile equipment applications, the HyCore™ actuator delivers powerful performance in a compact footprint. With force capabilities up to 14,726 lbs. (65.50 kN), stroke lengths up to 22 inches (558.8 mm), and cycle speeds up to 3.54 in/sec (89.92 mm/sec), the HyCore™ actuator is engineered to handle tasks across a broad range of industries.

HyCore™ provides a low entry price point into hybrid actuation technology while maintaining the rugged performance expected in industrial applications. Its servo-controlled, all-electric, self-contained design reduces complexity while improving precision and reliability.

A Streamlined Alternative to Traditional Actuation
The HyCore™ Actuator was developed to address common shortcomings of traditional motion technologies.

  • As an alternative to small hydraulic power unit (HPUs) and cylinders, HyCore™ eliminates leak risks, fluid disposal concerns, and complex installation requirements while delivering improved energy efficiency.
  • Compared to pneumatic actuators, HyCore™ provides more precise motion control without the need for continuous compressed air, helping reduce energy use and operating costs.
  • Unlike screw-type electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs), HyCore™ eliminates metal-to-metal component wear and offers greater durability in applications exposed to shock loading.

Engineered for Real-World Demands
Kyntronics hybrid technology is engineered to thrive where traditional technologies often fail. The hybrid design helps eliminate the frequent failures associated with electro-mechanical actuators and the leaks, maintenance headaches, and contamination risks common with hydraulic systems.

For companies seeking an even simpler path to implementation, Kyntronics also offers the Total Solution option, which integrates the actuator, servo motor, and drive into one complete actuation system and additional control and HMI package options. This approach simplifies machine design, reduces system complexity, and minimizes multi-vendor coordination.

Built with rugged construction and designed for harsh environments, the HyCore™ actuator is also available with IP-rated protection to help withstand dust, coolant exposure, washdown environments, humidity, and other challenging operating conditions.

Typical applications that would benefit from using a HyCore™ actuator include:

  • Mobile equipment
  • AGVs and AMRs
  • Packaging systems
  • Material handling
  • Lift and positioning systems
  • Assembly automation
  • And many more
