In addition, the use of iron core technology reduces the amount of copper needed to produce force, resulting in lower ohmic resistance and high energy efficiency due to low power losses (copper losses).
As an integral part of our “Pneumatic Zero” initiative, KOMP-ACT aims to replace expensive electric and poor pneumatic performance with clean, lean and green technology.
Thanks to their independence from external compressed air tanks or integrated motors, our actuator’s small footprints can fit the most space-restrained applications.
Our actuators reach peak force between 1 and 2,5 milliseconds and have been implemented on machine applications running at 170 cycles/min at full stroke.
Our intelligent embedded sensors guarantee that motion profiles stay constant throughout their entire lifespan, resulting in virtually no maintenance required.
Our solution can slash up to 95% in direct and indirect energy costs.
Industrial processes are highly energy intensive and currently account for over 40% of total CO2 emissions worldwide.
By helping machine builders and manufacturers adopt our electric actuation technologies to create hybrid or fully electric machines, we believe we can make significant inroads in reducing global CO2 emissions.
As a corporate pledge to the planet and to ourselves, we are working towards a carbon neutral future by aiming to cut 50 million Tons of CO2 by 2040.

Pneumatic linear actuators use compressed air from an external compressor to move the piston inside the cylinder. As the pressure increases, the cylinder moves along the axis of the piston, creating a linear force.
While the main advantage of pneumatic actuators is their high force density and small footprint, below are some disadvantages related to the use of pneumatic actuators:
Hydraulic linear actuators work similarly to pneumatic actuators, but instead of compressed air, an incompressible fluid from a pump moves the piston inside the cylinder.
Although they are much more efficient than pneumatic and traditional electric actuators, hydraulic actuators leak, resulting in lower efficiency and cleanliness issues, which in turn can cause damage to surrounding components and areas.
In addition, hydraulic actuators require many complementary parts, including a fluid reservoir, motor, pump, drain valves, and heat exchangers, as well as noise reduction devices that significantly increase the cost of their implementation.
Electric linear actuators use a mechanically connected electric motor to turn a threaded spindle. A threaded nut or ball nut with corresponding threads to those of the screw is prevented from rotating with the screw. As the spindle rotates, the nut is carried along the thread. The direction in which the nut moves depends on the direction in which the spindle rotates, and also returns the actuator to its original position.
Here are some disadvantages related to the sue of traditional electric actuators:
In contrast, KOMP-ACT direct drive actuators and linear motors’ movement is provided by an electromagnetic interaction between the iron core stator containing the coils and the rotor containing the permanent magnets.
Here are some of their main advantages:
Unlike most grippers that use electromechanical force, KOMP-ACT grippers use integrated linear motors that provide greater force and faster maneuverability. In addition, the absence of mechanics makes the fingers particularly small and light, similar to a pneumatic gripper.
No, our actuators are linear motors.
Linear motors are often classified as ironless or iron-cored, referring to the type of construction of their primary parts. In ironless linear motors, the primary consists of windings embedded in epoxy resin. In iron-cored linear motors, the windings are mounted in an iron laminated core.

All KOMP-ACT products are precision-designed, engineered and manufactured in Switzerland.
Any machine equipped with digital input/ouput Programmable Logic Controller (or “PLC”) can be retrofitted with our actuators. Compatible PLC brands include:
KOMP-ACT electric actuators can reduce up to 95% of energy expenses related to the op traditional pneumatic actuators.
Aside from replacement at the end of their lifespan, KOMP-ACT actuators require virtually no maintenance throughout their lifespan.
Our actuators work best for applications requiring displacing objects horizontally or vertically at given speeds and cycling rates. However, is also possible to use them for applying a certain level of pressure within certain duty cycles. Contact our team to verify your application.
Any machine equipped with a PLC with digital input/outputs can be retrofitted with our actuators. While our actuators are compact in size and generally fit on almost any machine, it is best to contact us at the beginning of your project prior to designing the machine.
KOMP-ACT actuators can be installed on your machine in minutes. All actuator settings are programmable via an end-user software interface that can be accessed by any Windows-based computer by simply entering the IP address.
While factors such as temperature, speed and applied mass influence the lifespan of different applications, our actuators get over 20 million cycles in typical load condition, which means 40 million strokes with load.
