(Note) < > indicates vertical use.
(Note) The values in brackets [ ] apply when used at an ambient temperature of 5°C or less.
Correlation diagram between speed and payload
If the environmental temperature is below 5°C, the speed will be slower than when it is above 5°C.

RCP5W-RA6C Rod deflection amount
The table below shows the amount of rod deflection measured when the rod is placed vertically and a load is applied to the tip of the rod.

(1) The payload is the value when operating with an acceleration of 0.3G horizontally and 0.5G vertically. The payload decreases when the acceleration is increased. (For the maximum payload by acceleration, refer to page 1-458 of the General Catalog 2017. ) (2) The radial cylinder has a built-in guide. For the allowable load mass, refer to the graph on page 1-478 of the General Catalog 2017. (3) The high thrust specification is for vertical operation only. A brake is also equipped as standard. (4) The cable joint connector is not waterproof, so install it in a place where it will not get wet. (5) Caution is required depending on the installation position. For details, refer to page 1-199 . (6) For the pressing operation, refer to page 1-387 of the General Catalog 2017 . |

*1 Connect the motor/encoder cable.
*2 When returning to the origin, the rod moves to the ME, so please be careful not to interfere with surrounding objects.
*3 The orientation of the width across flats varies depending on the product.
*4 When installing the main body using the front bracket and flange, make sure that no external force is applied to the main body.
