It is necessary to consider the influence of the weight of movable part as shown in the figures below
when installing in vertical orientation.
Horizontal Vertical
Downward pressing Vertical
Upward pressing
Weight of movable part m
Weight of movable part m
Weight of Movable Part unit : [N]
Type Weight of Movable Part
RA1L 0.5
RA2L 1
RA3L 1.8
Pressing force =
Thrust + Weight of Movable Part
F = f + m
Pressing force = Thrust
F = f
Pressing force =
Thrust – Weight of Movable Part
F = f – m
