The document provides specifications for the RCP2-RGD4C ROBO Cylinder. It includes graphs showing the cylinder's decreasing load capacity at higher speeds due to its pulse motor. A table lists the maximum speeds and load capacities for different lead sizes. The document also provides dimensions and weights for the cylinder at various stroke lengths. Compatible controllers that can operate the cylinder are described.

■ Speed vs. Load Capacity
Due to the characteristics of the pulse motor,
the RCP2 series' load capacity decreases at
high speeds. In the table below, check if your
desired speed and load capacity are supported.

* See page Pre-35 for an explanation of the naming convention.
(1) When the stroke increases, the maximum speed will drop to prevent the ball screw from reaching the critical rotational speed.
Use the actuator specifi cation table below to check the maximum speed at the stroke you desire.
(2) Since the RCP2 series use a pulse motor, the load capacity decreases at high speeds.
Check in the Speed vs. Load Capacity graph to see if your desired speed and load capacity are supported.
(3) The load capacity is based on operation at an acceleration of 0.2G.
0.2G is the upper limit of the acceleration.
In addition, the horizontal load capacity is based on the use of an external guide. See the technical resources (page A-83) for
the allowable weight using the supplied guide alone.
