(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-RA8C Rod deflection amount
The table below shows the amount of rod deflection measured when the rod is placed horizontally and a load is applied to the end of the rod (deflection due to the rod's own weight is not included).

Correlation diagram between vertical transport mass and running life

When using Lead 5 in a vertical installation, the life span varies greatly depending on the payload. When using it in a horizontal installation, the payload has no effect.
Please note that the graph of payload and life span is shown below.

Selection considerations

(1) The payload is the value when lead 5 is operated with an acceleration of 0.1G, and lead 10 and lead 20 are operated with an acceleration of 0.2G. The above value is the upper limit for acceleration and deceleration. (For the maximum payload by acceleration, refer to General Catalog 2017, page 1-458 .) (2) The radial cylinder has a built-in guide. For the allowable load mass, refer to the graph on General Catalog 2017, page 1-478 . (3) The cable joint connector is not waterproof, so install it in a place where it will not be exposed to water. (4) Caution is required depending on the installation position. For details, refer to page 1-199 . (5) For details on pressing operation, refer to General Catalog 2017, page 1-387 . (6) When connecting to RCON, a conversion unit or conversion cable is required. For details, refer to page 7-25 . |

*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.
