The X8 option is a dust-proof and water-jet-proof specification equivalent to IP67. This spec is achieved with the addition of several unique features above the standard LEY. The motor is sealed within an aluminum cover, fitted with M-type metal cable connectors. The rod passes through a scraper and employs a lubrication retainer to prevent oil film washout. Futher, grease supply holes are also provided. The body extrusion includes a vent hole and fitting to balance internal pressure so that dust and water are not drawn in. The 24VDC motor includes a battery-less absolute encoder. This encoder allows the actuator to be powered down without losing its positional awareness. The controllers's operational and positional step data can be accessed through several fieldbus protocols, IO-Link, or parallel I/O. Available in body sizes 25, 32, and 40.
