The document provides specifications for the RCP3-TA4R ROBO Cylinder mini actuator. It includes details on: 1) The actuator's stroke lengths range from 20mm to 100mm in 10mm increments. Load capacities and speeds vary depending on the ball screw lead and speed. 2) The actuator can be used with several controller models, including the PMEC, PSEP, and PCON series. These controllers support different input types and positioning capabilities. 3) Dimensional drawings and measurements are provided for the actuator housing depending on the stroke length. Mounting holes, cable exit options, and other details are specified.

■ Speed vs. Load Capacity
Due to the characteristics of the Pulse motor, the RCP3 series'
load capacity decreases at high speeds. In the table below,
check if your desired speed and load capacity are supported.
