Feature

Important notes on selection

(1) The payload capacity is the value when operating at an acceleration of 0.3G (0.2G for lead 3). The above value is the upper limit for acceleration.
(2) Available duty depends on the operating condition (e.g.load mass, acceleration/deceleration). Refer to page 1-288 for further details.
(3) Horizontal payload is the value when an external guide is used and no external force is applied to the rod from any direction other than the direction of movement.
(4) The cable joint connector is not drip-proof. Please install it in a place where it will not be exposed to water.
(5) The only compatible controllers that can be used with absolute specifications are ACON-CB/CGB and ASEL.
(6) Encoder type box for model item will be "I" for simple absolute as well.
(7) An extra precaution may be needed depending on mounting posture. Refer to page 1-199 for further details.
(8) A conversion unit, or a conversion cable is required to connect with RCON. Refer to page 7-25 for further details.

*1 Connect the motor cable and encoder cable here. Refer to page 1-103 for details of the cable.

*2 The intake and exhaust ports are piping for air release inside the bellows. Insert a tube with an outer diameter of φ10 mm and extend it to a place where it will not be exposed to water.

(Note) When returning to the home position, the slider moves to ME. Please be careful of interference with surrounding objects.

(Note) Do not apply any external force on to the rod except towards the direction of its movement. Detent mechanism may get damaged if a force was applied to the rod from its right angle, or towards its rotating direction.

(Note) When a brake is added, the total length of the RA4C type will be extended by 43mm. In the case of the RA4R type, the motor part will be extended by 43mm, but since it is folded back, the overall length remains unchanged. The RA4D type does not have a brake setting. Also, in terms of mass, all models will have an increase of 0.2kg.
