(*1) The motor dimensions are not included. (*2) For the pushing force, refer to “Selection Guide (Correlation Diagrams of Pushing Force and Current Limiting Value)” on P6. (*3) When the actuator is operated at a rated acceleration of 0.2 G (or 0.1 G if the lead is 5). The horizontal payload assumes use of an external guide. Due to the

characteristics of the pulse motor, the payload will decrease as the speed increases. For details, refer to “Correlation Diagrams of Speed and Payload” on P6.

● The RA8 (pushing force: 1714 N), positioned between the RA6 (pushing force: 800 N) and RA10 (pushing force: 6000 N) size-wise, has been added to the series.

●The side-mounted motor type with a shorter overall length is available.

●A desired side-mounted motor direction and cable exit direction can be selected.

To change the direction for cable exit, indicate an appropriate option code such as A1, A2 or A3. (Note) The direction for connector cable exit is determined by viewing from the rear of the motor. Take note that the directions are reversed on the coupling type and side-mounted motor type.

■ Controller

The RCP2-RA8C/RA8R controllers are shown below. For details, refer to the ROBO Cylinder® General Catalog.

notes • Unlike with the PCON-C/CG/CY/PL/PO/SE controllers, the applicable encoder cable is designed exclusively for the PCON-CF type. Exercise caution when ordering this cable separately.

• Take note that simple absolute units cannot be used. • For the details of controllers, refer to the ROBO Cylinder® General Catalog.

Rod-type ROBO Cylinder® actuators have a service life of 5,000km, but the RCP2-RA8C/RA8R types with a lead of 5 may have a shorter service life depending on the payload because the applicable thrust is higher. Check the relationship of payload and service life for your actuator on the graph shown to the right.

Do not apply an external force to the rod from any direction other than the moving direction of the rod. If a force is applied to the rod from the direction perpendicular to the rod or rotating direction of the rod, the stopper may be damaged.

With the standard rod types, the run-out at the tip of the rod is not considered. If there is a noticeable run-out of the rod, use an external guide.
