The invention relates to the technical field of driving devices of yarn guide rods in textile equipment and particularly discloses an electric yarn guide rod. The yarn guide rod comprises a yarn guiderod body and a stator, wherein the middle of the yarn guide rod body is rotatably arranged outside the stator through a rolling needle; coils are fixedly arranged on the left and right sides in the stator respectively; a plurality of magnetic steel ring groups sleeve the coils respectively; the outer sides of the magnetic steel ring groups are provided with notches in the radial direction of thestator; the outer sides of the coils are provided with rotary sheets respectively, and the rotary sheets pass through the notches of the magnetic steel ring groups and are arranged between the coils and the magnetic steel ring groups and provided with magnetic fields corresponding to the positions of the magnetic steel ring groups respectively; the outer sides of the rotary sheets are fixedly connected to the yarn guide rod body separately. Driving of the yarn guide rod is integrated onto the yarn guide rod body, and therefore the structures of parts are simplified effectively.
