Hybrid Actuator Systems (HAS) are a high force self-contained linear actuation system that brings electrification to where the work needs to be performed. They are integrated with field-proven components into localized configurations that look and feel like an electrical actuator, yet have the power density and failsafe characteristics associated with traditional hydraulics.
HAS solutions consolidate the entire hydraulic system into a single component integral to the actuator that hooks up to a local control point with plug-and-play simplicity. Each unit features a compact footprint and represents only a modest addition to overhead.
By localizing the power source, Hybrid Actuator Systems (HAS) eliminate not only the centralized power unit with its electric motor, pump reservoir, and related valving, but also all the hoses and tubes connecting them to the actuator — dramatically reducing system complexity, simplifying troubleshooting, and saving energy by deploying it incrementally as needed, without all the horsepower losses commonly found in valve operated hydraulic designs.
This innovative technology provides opportunities for downsizing and streamlining hydraulic control systems while increasing the flexibility and efficiency of processes and operations.
