General Description of the Lexium EAC1-Series
The Lexium EAC1-Series is an electric actuator which can operate forward and backward in one dimension. The actuator is based on the standard ISO 15552, and is driven by a precision ball screw. The outer design and the dimensions of the Lexium EAC1-Series are very similar to pneumatic cylinders.

Characteristics of the Lexium EAC1-Series
The actuator provides the following features and options:
oHigh speeds
oGood positioning accuracy
oHigh repeatability
oDifferent stroke lengths available
oReduced backlash
oMotor mounting via compact coupling systems
oFastening thread at the end of the piston rod for mounting the payload or piston rod accessories
oSuitable lubricant for food and beverage applications
oSensors as normally open contacts / normally closed contacts as PNP version
oDifferent motors
oTwo motor mounting positions: axial or on the side mounting
Mounting Options for the Motor and/or the Belt Drive
The following figure presents the mounting options for the motor and/or the belt drive for the Lexium EAC1-Series.
1 Straight mounted motor
2 Mounted belt drive and mounted motor
3 Mounted adaptation material (coupling housing including elastomer coupling and motor adaptation)
4 Without motor and without belt drive (with shaft extension)
Mounting Directions of the Motor and/or the Belt Drive
The following figure presents the mounting directions for the motor and/or belt drive. The motor is coupled by using a preloaded elastomer coupling and the belt drive is coupled by using a coupling set.
1 Straight mounted
2 Mounted with belt drive, rotatable 4 x 90°
Mounting Options for the Mounting Brackets
The following figure presents the mounting options for the mounting brackets of the Lexium EAC1-Series.
1 Straight mounted motor and mounted mounting brackets
2 Mounted motor driven by belt drive and mounted mounting brackets
