Product Description:

The RG2-002AAB is an encoder cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RG2 Encoder Cables series. Classified as a Rexroth cable, it is built to carry high-speed digital feedback between a servo motor and its drive, supporting closed-loop positioning in automated lines. This arrangement helps the drive receive stable position data during rapid acceleration, deceleration, and repeated start-stop motion. The cable type is an encoder cable with a basic design that aligns with second-generation wiring standards used across the manufacturer's motion platforms.

Mechanical endurance is central to this model. Its flex life is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, a figure that indicates how often the jacket can articulate in energy-chain service before fatigue becomes critical. Copper conductors with a cross section of 0.50 mm² balance signal integrity with compact routing space. Dynamic routing is governed by a minimum bend radius of 7.5xD, while stationary installations may tighten to a radius of 5xD. These limits protect the conductor stranding and maintain impedance stability. The operating temperature window of -40 to +80 °C permits deployment in cold-storage zones, molding cells, or heated enclosures without derating the insulation system.

At the motor end, the cable terminates with a M17 encoder connector, matching the manufacturer's digital feedback transducers. The harness belongs to the 2nd Generation of RG2 cabling, so pin assignments and shielding follow the updated EMC layout used with newer drives. Internally, it uses a Digital Cable core geometry that supports differential signal pairs for noise rejection. Its motor-drive interface is a direct connection, eliminating intermediate terminal strips and reducing potential failure points. Storage temperature can be held from -40 to +80 °C, and the basic outer sheath formulation withstands oil mist and common coolants encountered on assembly lines.
