Features of ROBO Cylinder® RCP5 Series

Features 1 Benefit of battery less Absolute Encoder

Benefit 1
Economy friendly as it is not necessary to change the battery, therefore there is no expense on battery.
Benefit 2
It is not necessary to manage the time for battery changing. Also there is no work required for changing.
Benefit 3
It is not necessary to have a space for setting battery.
Benefit 4
No adjustment required after changing the cable between controller - actuator because it reads position data each time so it can be operated just as it is.
Benefit 5
No need to return to origin, so no need to have external sensor such as sensor to check origin.
Benefit 6
IAI slider type has the same price range to the existing increment type even if equipped with battery less absolute.

Features 2 Combination with PowerCon generates maximum speed 1.5 times and load capacity 2 times

Productivity on equipment is increasing due to the shorter cycle time.

Maximum speed has significantly increase up to 1.5 times from the current type by using a new controller <PowerCon> equipped with new development high power driver (during patent application) Load capacity is more than 2 times (※) and space saving is phenomenal. Additionally, the power performance provides the same as high level model but with a lower cost, yet the maximum speed will decrease only a little even if adding more load because the torque increases during motor high rotation.

(※) The increasing level is depending on the model.

Slider type lead 12. Acceleration and deceleration is 0.3G.

Multiple axis type for PowerCon is now available.

MSEP Controller can operate with speed 1.5 times, and load capacity is more than 2 times maximum that compatible to PowerCon and can operate RCP5 up to 4 axis. The standard type that is not compatible to the PowerCon can operates RCP5 8 axis. Furthermore, it is possible to do numeric specified motion via field network.

Field Network Compatible.

Features 2

Features 3 Rod type can receive a radial load.

Rod type with built-in guide<Radial Cylinder> is compatible with radial load during a long stroke with the maximum length of 800mm.

Rod type <Radial Cylinder> has built-in round ball linear guide inside the body and capable of radial load and a long stroke at the maximum length of 800mm. Radial load is compatible to the offset load from the rod center.

Long type <Radial Cylinder>

Features 4 Improved maintainability

Greasings can be performed against ball screws and guides simultaneously through the grease nipples which appear on both right side and left side (1 grease nipple on each sides) when the frame cover is taken off.(As for RCP5-RA8/RA10, the greasings can be performed through the grease nipples described above, without removing the frame cover)

ロッドタイプ<ラジアルシリンダ>

Features 5 Clean compatible type added

3 types of slider type(SA4/SA6/SA7) are now added with clean compatible type, which supports clean level 10.
