【R】
Rated Force

The force of an actuator which can be generated continuously.


Rated Rotation

The rotation of an actuator which can be kept continuously.


Rated Torque

The torque of an actuator which can be generated continuously.


Regenerative Energy

The energy that a motor generates when it rotates. When the rotation speed is reduced the energy returns to the motor driver (controller). This energy is called regenerative energy.


Regenerative Resistor

A resistor to discharge regenerative current.


Resolution

The minimum unit of physical quantity that a measurement device (an encoder etc.) can deal with.


Return to Origin

The homing movement detecting the origin position.


Robotic Cable

Cables to be used for movable portions. Resistance is excellent against bending, rubbing, twisting, etc.


Rotary Encoder

An encoder to detect rotation angle. It is used to find the position of a servo motor etc. There are the optical type and the magnetic type among others.


RS-232C

One of standards for serial telecommunications defined by Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).


RS-422

One of standards for serial telecommunications defined by Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).
