Rod & Guided Rod
The rod type electric actuator has a familiar rod cylinder form suitable for push, pull, lift and press applications. The guide rod type includes rods to counter rotational forces instead of the drive and motor, and also resist shock and sustained lateral loads.
LEY Rod Type Electric Actuator
The LEY rod type electric actuator has a familiar rod cylinder form suitable for push, pull, lift and press applications. The 24VDC motor can be reverse mounted for compact length, or inline mounted for compact height. The LEY series offers a wide variety of actuator mounting options as well, including numerous direct and bracket styles.
IP65 IP67 Protection Class
The LEY rod type electric actuator is available in two specifications for improved ingress protection. The X5 option is IP65 dust and drip proof. The X7 option improves to IP67 dust-tight and water jet proof. The X8 option includes IP67 protection as well as a battery-less absolute encoder. For DC motor models, the specs are achieved by enclosing the motor in a sealed aluminum cover with a special cable connector, and pairing the rod with a scraper and lub-retainer. Additionally, the body extrusion includes a vent hole and fitting to balance internal pressure so that dust and water are not drawn in.
LEY/LE2Y Guided Rod
The LEYG guided rod electric actuator pairs an 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 blocks can be fitted with either slide or ball bushing bearings.
LEPY Miniature
The LEPY is a rod type electric actuator with a miniature form factor, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand! The series includes two body sizes with inline mounted motors. Maximum stroke is 75mm, and maximum work load is 2 kg, or 50N pushing force depending on the application.

Rod & Guided Rod FAQs
What are the primary applications for the LEY series?
The LEY series rod-type actuators are designed for push, pull, lift, and press applications. Common examples include use as lifters, stoppers, delivery systems, and press-fitting components.
What is the positioning repeatability of the LEY series?
The standard positioning repeatability is ±0.02 mm. A high-precision option is also available for certain models, offering repeatability of ±0.01 mm.
Can the LEY series handle high-speed transfers?
Yes. Depending on the motor and lead screw selection, maximum speeds can reach 1000 mm/s. It also supports high acceleration and deceleration of up to 5,000 mm/s².
Is pushing control possible with these actuators?
Yes. Users can select between positioning control and pushing control. Pushing control allows the actuator to hold a workpiece with a specific force, similar to a pneumatic cylinder.
What types of motors can be used with the LEY series?
We offers three main motor types:
- Step Motor (24 VDC): Ideal for high-load transfers at lower speeds.
- Servo Motor (24 VDC): Offers stable high-speed operation and quiet performance.
- AC Servo Motor (100W/200W/400W): Provides the highest output, speed, and acceleration.
Is there a manual override for the actuator?
Yes, the actuators feature a manual override adjustment screw, allowing for manual operation and adjustment when the power is off.
Can I use auto switches with the LEY series?
Yes, the body includes grooves for mounting auto switches to detect limit or intermediate positions. Water-resistant 2-color indication solid-state auto switches are also compatible.
