The LEY rod electric actuator is suitable for push, pull, lift and press applications. The motor orientation can be reverse mounted on top for compact length, or inline for compact height. Several mounting options are available to accommodate a range of machine requirements. This version includes a 24VDC motor with a battery-less absolute encoder. This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness. The machine's PLC can access the controller's operational and positional step data through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O.
