If your application requires force feedback, estimating it based on motor torque isn't accurate enough. But adding a traditional rod-end load cell to your actuator introduces exposed sensors and the headache of managing cables that move with the stroke.

Joyce/Dayton is proud to offer 𝗘𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀—a feature that delivers distinct advantages over alternative force monitoring options.

𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀: The multi-pin connector is located on the stationary body of the actuator, which eliminates problems associated with dynamic cable management.

𝗕𝗶-𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: Accurately measure true force in BOTH directions (tension and compression), giving you complete data and control over every phase of your push/pull applications.

𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The sensor is safely enclosed and protected from harsh industrial environments.

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿: Unlike highly restrictive integrated units, our load cell actuators are still designed to fit your choice of servo motor.

Real force feedback shouldn't require a fragile, external sensor. Explore the specs for our integrated load cell actuators here:

Designing automation for the dairy industry is one of the toughest balancing acts in engineering. You need the high thrust and velocity to handle massive volumetric filling and cheese cutting operations, while maintaining absolute, uncompromising hygiene.

For a long time, hydraulics were the only way to get the force needed. But fluid power in a food zone is a ticking clock—eventually, a leak happens, and product gets ruined.

Watching machine builders wrestle with this is exactly why we engineered high-capacity electric motion solutions. When you swap a hydraulic cylinder for an Eliminator HDL or SPL electric actuator, the threat of fluid contamination is removed.

To take it a step further, we put a load cell inside the actuator itself, allowing the machine to precisely "measure while you press". It’s clean, high-speed power with a built-in sense of touch, ensuring you hit the exact force required without damaging the product or the equipment.

Building a better machine starts with taking the messy guesswork out of the equation. Our Applications Engineers can help you navigate the transition from fluid power to clean, precision electric motion. Let's talk about your next build.

When it comes to industrial automation, force feedback can literally make or break a product. Consider a process that must maintain a prescribed force to press fit a pin. If the desired force is not exact, the result is out-of-tolerance components and scrapped parts.

You can't afford to just estimate force based on motor current, and adding rod-end load cells creates messy cabling issues. That is why we engineered the 𝗘𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗗𝗟 and 𝗦𝗗𝗟 actuators.

Give your press applications the ultimate advantage:
✅ 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀: The multi-pin connector sits on the stationary body, which eliminates problems associated with dynamic cable management during the press stroke.
✅ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Bi-directional force feedback measures true force in both directions, outperforming standard motor torque monitoring.
✅ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗜𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The sensor is housed internally, which protects the load cell from the harsh press environment.
✅ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆-𝗗𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲: Rated forces up to 100,000 lbf with velocities up to 20 in/sec and stroke up to 48 inches.

Get the controlled force your press needs, with the clean integration your design demands. Find out how our Eliminator HDL and SDL actuators can optimize your applications: https://joycedayton.com/products/edrive/eliminator-hdl

This week, we officially launched the ultimate solution for tight-fit automation: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝗔𝟮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿.

Based directly on feedback from the engineers and machine builders who use our products every day, we redesigned the UA2 to deliver unprecedented design freedom. By introducing a new "Small Motor Plate" option, you can now integrate heavy-duty linear motion into smaller spaces than ever before.

But we didn't stop at making it smaller; we made it more durable and easier to install.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲" 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Shrink your footprint and reclaim critical design space without sacrificing capability.

• 𝗥𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱: We've retired the plastic. Moving forward, every UA2 actuator comes standard with a heavy-duty, machined aluminum belt cover.

• 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Pre-threaded holes for quick rear clevis mounting right out of the box, plus an all-new standard Foot Mount accessory option.

Converting a machine from fluid power to electromechanical motion might seem like a daunting engineering challenge—but you don't have to figure it out alone.

At Joyce/Dayton, we have the experience to help you upgrade your legacy hydraulic systems to clean, precise electric linear motion. We know how to size, specify, and replace fluid power with heavy-duty electric jacks and actuators.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵?

✅Minimize contamination risks for a cleaner and more efficient operating system.
✅Drastically reduce maintenance and expensive downtime.
✅Lower your energy bills (electric actuators only draw power when moving).
✅Achieve pinpoint precision that hydraulics simply can't match.

The future of Linear Motion is 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰. Our Application Engineers are ready to help you map out the perfect electric upgrade.
