● The RA8 (pushing force: 1714 N), positioned between 
the RA6 (pushing force: 800 N) and RA10 (pushing 
force: 6000 N) size-wise, has been added to the series. 
● The side-mounted motor type with a shorter overall 
length is available. 
● A desired side-mounted motor direction and cable 
exit direction can be selected.

Current limiting values (%) 
Push force (N) 
*When the pushing speed is 10mm/s 
Rod-type ROBO Cylinder® actuators have a service life of 5,000km, but the 
RCP2-RA8C/RA8R types with a lead of 5 may have a shorter service life 
depending on the payload because the applicable thrust is higher. 
Check the relationship of payload and service life for your actuator on the 
graph shown to the right. 
2. External Force on the Rod 
Do not apply an external force to the rod from any direction other than the 
moving direction of the rod. If a force is applied to the rod from the direction 
perpendicular to the rod or rotating direction of the rod, the stopper may be 
damaged. 
3. Run-out of the Rod 
Note 
The moving speed is fixed to 10mm/s during push-motion operation. 
Take note that the graphs assume the actuator pushes the work at a 
speed of 10mm/s and that the pushing force will decrease as the 
speed changes. 
Also note that, while the RA8C/RA8R can perform push-motion 
operation at current limiting values of up to 70%, certain conditions 
must be met if the current limiting value exceeds 60%. 
For details, refer to the operation manual of your actuator.

Check the relationship of payload and service life for your actuator on the graph shown to the right. 2. External Force on the Rod Do not apply an external force to the rod from any direction other than the moving direction of the rod. If a force is applied to the rod from the direction perpendicular to the rod or rotating direction of the rod, the stopper may be damaged. 3. Run-out of the Rod Note The moving speed is fixed to 10mm/s during push-motion operation. Take note that the graphs assume the actuator pushes the work at a speed of 10mm/s and that the pushing force will decrease as the speed changes. Also note that, while the RA8C/RA8R can perform push-motion operation at current limiting values of up to 70%, certain conditions must be met if the current limiting value exceeds 60%. For details, refer to the operation manual of your actuator.

If there is a noticeable run-out of the rod, use an external guide. Sold Serviced By: ELECTROMATE Toll Free Phone (877) SERVO98 Toll Free Fax (877) SERV099 www.electromate.com sales@electromate.com
