Actuators with an electromagnetic brake are also included in the lineup. They can meet fail-safe requirements of equipment to prevent accidents upon power supply failure. The RSF supermini series can contribute to downsizing of driving of robot joints, semiconductor/LCD panel manufacturing equipment, machine tools, and other FA equipment. By utilizing its small and high-torque characteristics, it can also be used for small equipment and for research.
With brake (with connector) Special specification 1-3 Combinations with drivers The RSF supermini series actuators are used in combination with the DCJ, DDP, DEP and HA-680 drivers. Drivers can perform position control, speed control, and torque control. For details of the drivers, refer to the “driver manual or data sheet”.
Note 3: All values are typical. Note 4: The moment of inertia is the total value of the motor shaft and Harmonic Drive moment of inertia values converted to the output side. The values in parentheses are for equipment with a brake.

Chapter 2 Selection of the RSF supermini Series 2-1 Allowable load moment of inertia To make full use of high precision and high performance of the RSF supermini series actuator, perform temporary selection by considering the load moment of inertia and rotation speed.
2-4-2 Load moment of inertia Calculate the load moment of inertia driven by the RSF supermini series actuator. Refer to appendix 1 for the calculation. Tentatively select an RSF supermini actuator referring to section [2-1 allowable load moment of inertia] with the calculated value.
Chapter 2 Selection of the RSF supermini Series Horizontal linear motion The following formula calculates the torque for horizontal linear motion of mass [W] fed by the screw of pitch [P]. µ Mass: W 2 x ! Pitch: P torque (Nm) µ:...
Chapter 2 Selection of the RSF supermini Series • Example: 1 The load conditions are: • Rotary speed: 140r/min • Load moment of inertia: 0.9!10 kg m • Load torque is so small as to be negrected. • Acceleration/deceleration time is 0.03sec (30msec) or less.

Chapter 2 Selection of the RSF supermini Series 2-4-6 Effective torque and average speed Addionally to the former studies, the effective torque and the average speed should be studied. (1) The effective torque should be less than allowable continuous torque specified by the driver.
2-4-7 Permissible overloaded time In case RSF supermini series is intermittently operated in allowable continuous torque or more, the overloaded time is limited by the protective function in the driver even if the duty cycle is allowed. The limits are shown in the figure below.
If the item is damaged, immediately report the damage to the dealer it was purchased from. (2) A label is attached on the right side of the RSF supermini series actuator. Confirm the products you ordered by comparing with the model on the [TYPE] line of the label. If it is different, immediately contact the dealer it was purchased from.
Chapter 3 Installing the actuator 3-2 Notice on handling Handle RSF supermini series actuators with care, specifically: Do not plug the actuators directly into a commercial line power source. This could burn out the actuator, potentially resulting in a fire and/or electrical hazard.
3-3 Location and installation 3-3-1 Environment of location The environmental conditions of the location for RSF supermini series actuators must be as follows. Service temperature: 0°C to 40°C ◆ When the actuator is installed in a closed space, the temperature in the space may be higher than the atmosphere because of heat emission by the actuator.
Chapter 3 Installing the actuator 3-3-3 Installation Since the RSF supermini series actuator is a high precision servo mechanism, great care is required for proper installation. Install the actuator taking care not to damage accurately machined surfaces. Do not hit the actuator with a hammer.
Chapter 4 Motor shaft retention brake Chapter 4 Motor shaft retention brake(RSF-5B) The RSF supermini series provides an actuator with a motor shaft retention brake as standard (Option symbol: B), which can meet the fail-safe requirement without any additional brake.
Chapter 4 Motor shaft retention brake 4-2-2 Not using a relay cable If the optional relay cable for brakes (EWA-B!!-JST03-TMC) is not used, the customer must control the brake power supply to the brake release coil and release retention coil. Supply the power upon brake release and during brake release retention, as shown below.
