(Note 7) There may be a difference between the set value (command value) input to the wire controller and the actual speed of the rod (for reference).
(Note 8) When the rod is installed facing downward, its retraction motion is driven by the spring reaction force. While pressing operations are possible, it is not suitable for use in transport applications.
(Note 9) Values shown are reference values under the following conditions: current limit set to 100%, stroke end, wire routing length 1 m, bending angle 360°, and bending radius R25.

(Note) Running life varies depending on operating conditions, installation status and the lubrication.
(Note) Depending on the operating environment, mounting orientation, and operating conditions, base oil separated from the grease may leak from inside the actuator to the outside. If the base oil may negatively affect surrounding equipment, appropriate protective measures should be taken.
Pressing force
The pressing force varies depending on the wire length and bending angle. Please refer to the graph below.
The wire cylinder uses wire-driven force for rod extension and a spring mechanism for rod retraction. Therefore, pressing operations should be performed in the direction of rod extension.
Pressing force by wire length and bending angle
10 Strokes
(Note) The pressing force values are under the following conditions: current limit set to 70%, at stroke end, and wire bending radius R25.
(Note) The pressing force can be adjusted by changing the current limit between 70% and 100%.
For every 5% increase in the current limit above 70%, add approximately 0.8N should be added to the pressing force.

Important notes on selection
 | (1) The wire controller and control wire are included. Refer to page 2-407 for further details. (2) A rotation-prevention mechanism is not included. If necessary, please add a guide or similar anti-rotation mechanism to the rod tip. (3) For precautions when connecting the control wire, please refer to page 2-410. (4) When connecting the Elecylinder to a PLC, there are three possible connection methods. Refer to page 2-841 for further details. |

System configuration
The actuator is supplied with a control wire and a wire controller.
Operation is achieved by the wire controller, which contains an integrated motor, encoder, and controller, actuating the control wire (inner wire) to drive the actuator.
The wire controller is used to adjust position, speed, acceleration/deceleration, and pressing force. Refer to page 2-407 for further details.

Load at the tip of the rod
Lateral loads on the rod tip must not exceed the values shown in the table. Exceeding these limits may cause malfunction or reduce the service life of the rod.
If significant lateral load is applied to the rod tip, please use an external guide.
Use a floating joint between the rod and the external guide to prevent misalignment (twisting) or binding.
| Stroke (mm) | 10 | 20 |
|---|---|---|
| Allowable lateral load (N) | 0.81 | 0.62 |
Operation-specific conditions
For transport applications, the specifications listed under “Main Specs” can be met as long as the wire bending angle is within 540° or less.
For pressing operations, the pressing force will vary depending on the wire length and bending angle. Please refer to "Pressing force" in the table below for details.
