PACK EXPO International starts this Sunday, and Joyce/Dayton will be there. Find us at Booth #6029 in the North Hall at McCormick Place, Chicago, October 18–21.

Packaging lines demand speed, repeatability, and equipment that stands up to washdown and strenuous duty. Our team will be on the floor to talk through linear motion solutions built for exactly that:

🔹 EDrive Electric Actuators: Clean, precise electric motion that replaces pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, with no air or fluid to manage
🔹 Stainless Steel and Washdown-Ready Options: IP69K-rated, built for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical environments
🔹 Servo Packages: EDrive actuators paired with a servo motor, including Kollmorgen, or your preferred motor brand
🔹 Screw Jacks and Synchronized Systems: Smooth, repeatable lifting and positioning for conveyors, fillers, and end-of-line equipment
🔹 Easy Controls Integration: EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, and more

Whether you're upgrading an existing line, designing a new machine, or working through a tough format changeover or positioning challenge, bring it to the booth. Joyce/Dayton is ready to move you in the right direction.

Nine days until PACK EXPO International.

Filling. Folding. Pressing. Positioning. Different machines, same requirement underneath: motion that is precise the first time and the hundred-thousandth time.

Joyce/Dayton screw jacks and EDrive electric actuators are built for that. Mechanical synchronization across multiple lift points, thrust capacities from 750 to 100,000 lbf, stainless steel housings rated IP69K for wash-down environments, and the option to engineer a unit to your specification when a standard unit does not fit.

Come see us at PackExpo. We’ll be in Booth N-6029 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, October 18 to 21.

We're ready for your toughest application challenges - our engineers are ready to provide solutions.

Replacing a hydraulic system sounds straightforward on paper. In practice, it raises real questions for the engineers responsible for keeping production running:
▸ Will electric actuators fit our existing envelope and mounting configuration?
▸ How much of our controls architecture will we have to rebuild?
▸ How long will our lines be down during the switchover?
▸ What happens if the new system doesn't perform the way we need it to?

These aren't unreasonable concerns. They're exactly the right questions to ask.

THE JOYCE/DAYTON SOLUTION:
With the right engineering partner, a hydraulic-to-electric conversion doesn't have to mean a ground-up redesign. We can help you design a low-disruption process that fits your existing system.

If your operation is dealing with fluid leaks, contamination risk, or the ongoing cost of hydraulic maintenance, our Application Engineers are ready to discuss your unique requirements and help you move to Electric Linear Motion.

Whatever your environment requires — standard electric motion or washdown-ready IP69K-rated stainless steel — our team knows how to find the right solution.
