LEYG Guided Rod, Battery-less Absolute Encoder


The LEYG guided rod electric actuator pairs a LEY actuator with a bolt-on bearing block with double guide rods.  The guide rods counter rotational forces instead of the drive and motor, and also resist shock and sustained lateral loads.  Guide selection offers either slide or ball bushing bearings.  The motor orientation can be reverse mounted on top for compact length, or inline for compact height.  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.
