Rotary actuator piston type for swing motion offers efficient use of space. Series A swing angle specification has been added to the series. The 4mm [0.157in.] compact sensor switch is now mountable for improved convenience. Wide variation offers 4 kinds of torque and 5 kinds of swing angles. RAP1 Nominal torque 0.098N m [0.072ft lbf] RAP5 Nominal torque 0.49N m [0.36ft lbf] Swing angle Connection port Swing angle Swing angle RAP10 Nominal torque 0.981N m [0.72ft lbf] RAP20 Nominal torque 1.961N m [1.45ft lbf] Swing angle Swing angle Koganei s own original double-rack method achieves a no-backlash and no-leak construction. No backlash is obtained by a rack constantly pushed at the end of the swing. Moreover, use of a separate-type piston construction that avoids interference with the loads caused by the backpressured rack, etc., means no air leakage. Square type emphasizes space efficiency; trim body design allows for single-plane piping. Easily mountable square body and piping concentrated in a single plane result in high space efficiency. Optional settings further expand the range of rotary actuator applications. 1223 The 4mm [0.157in.] compact sensor switch can easily detect the position of the end of the swing. The sensor switch is available in the solid state type and reed switch type. A double rod specification and stainless rod specification are also available.

Handling Instructions and Precautions Selection and installation General precautions Selection 1. When selecting a model, calculate the torque and kinetic energy according to Selection Procedure on p.43 to p.52. The inertia load becomes larger when the load mass is large, or during high operating speeds, and it may exceed the rotary actuator s allowable kinetic energy. In this case, install a shock absorber to prevent the rotary actuator from being directly applied to inertia force. 2. The positional relationship between the swing angle and the key (or flat surface of the rod) is as shown in the diagram below. Even though the swing angle allowance is within the range of specification angles, install an external stopper, etc., to maintain accurate positioning. Left swing end Swing angle Right swing end Starting point of swing Port A Port B When pressure is supplied through Port A, the rod rotates to the left (counterclockwise direction), and when pressure is supplied through Port B, the rod rotates to the right (clockwise direction). Installation 1. While any mounting direction is allowed, avoid application that apply the load on the axial direction (thrust). Install external devices, such as bearings, to receive thrust load. 2. Install a rotary actuator so that the rotation center of the load align with the rotary actuator s rod center. When the rotation center cannot align with the rod center, or when moment is applied to the end of the rod, use a flexible coupling or other devices to carry a rotating force only. Note : Since thrust load, load moment, eccentricity of the rotating rod, or an excessive inertia load, will cause defective rotary actuator operation, or damage to the rod, always take appropriate counter-measures. Moreover, consult us about RAP 1 and RAP 5 bearing specifications. Piping Always thoroughly blow off (use compressed air) the tubing before connecting it to the rotary actuator. Entering metal chips, sealing tape, rust, etc., generated during piping work could result in air leaks or other defective operation. Atmosphere 1. If using in locations subject to dripping water, dripping oil, etc., or to large amounts of dust, use a cover to protect the unit. 2. The product cannot be used when the media or ambient atmosphere contains any of the substances listed below. Organic solvents, phosphate ester type hydraulic oil, sulphur dioxide, chlorine gas, or acids, etc. Lubrication The product can be used without lubrication, if lubrication is required, use Turbine Oil Class 1 (ISO VG32) or equivalent. Avoid using spindle oil or machine oil. Media 1. Use air for the media. For the use of any other media, consult us. 2. Air used for the rotary actuator should be clean air that contains no deteriorated compressor oil, etc. 3. Install an air filter (filtration of a minimum 40 µm) near the rotary actuator or valve to remove collected liquid or dust. In addition, drain the air filter periodically. 3. For the swing time of the rotary actuator (the time it takes to reach the swing end from beginning a start), see the table below as a guide. Swing time at air pressure 0.5MPa with no load s Swing angle RAP1 RAP5 RAP10 RAP20 Notes 1. Excessively high kinetic energy could damage the rod of the rotary actuator. Always use within the allowable energy. 2.For details about kinetic energy, see Koganei s Criteria for Selection. 1231
