Product Description:
The RG2-006ABB belongs to the RG2 Encoder Cables series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. As a Rexroth cable, it provides the feedback link between MS2x motor encoders and EFC inverters, carrying position data from the machine axis directly to the drive controller inside an automation cell. Its construction and connector standard are selected so the cable can be routed through moving drag-chain assemblies without signal loss or mechanical failure during continuous operation.
The mechanical service life is rated for 5,000,000 flexing cycles, indicating how many dynamic bends the jacket and conductors can withstand before fatigue is expected. Current-carrying capability is tied to its conductor cross-section of 0.50 mm², a size adequate for low-level encoder signals while keeping the overall diameter small. Repeated motion is further governed by a dynamic bending radius of 7.5×D; following this minimum loop radius prevents interior strand fracture when the cable is in motion. A static bending radius of 4×D applies where the cable is clamped or routed in fixed positions. The cable belongs to the 2nd Generation of RG2 designs, meaning insulation materials and shield foils were updated from the original release to improve noise rejection and extend flex life.
Signal interfacing is handled by an M17 Encoder Connector on the motor side, giving a sealed, vibration-resistant coupling to MS2x encoder ports. Drive-end terminations plug directly into EFC inverters, so the assembly forms a direct motor-drive connection without intermediate terminal strips. The analog signalling format is identified as an Analog Cable, matching the incremental or sine-cosine transducers used on these motors. Compatibility with the EFC frequency-converter family and the MS2x motor line ensures the wiring harness mates electrically and mechanically out of the box. Internally, the basic cable design employs a braided shield and twisted pairs, classified by Rexroth as a “Basic” model within the RG2 portfolio, balancing cost with EMC performance for standard industrial environments.
