Product Description:
The RG2-007AAB is an encoder feedback cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RG2 Encoder Cables series. It links digital encoders on MS2 synchronous motors to ctrlX DRIVE inverters and carries position data with low susceptibility to noise. The basic construction, digital cabling format, and direct motor-drive connection simplify closed-loop motion systems where installation time is critical. In industrial automation it acts as the pathway that ensures the controller receives timely feedback needed for speed, torque, and safety functions on conveyor, packaging, and handling lines.
The conductor area is 0.50 mm², a size that balances current capacity with the flexibility required for compact routing. The cable remains functional within -40 to 80 °C, so control cabinets can stand in unheated plants or near hot machinery without extra insulation. For moving axes the sheath tolerates 5,000,000 cycles of continuous bending, limiting signal loss over long service intervals. During dynamic motion it may be routed around pulleys or energy chains as tight as 7.5xD, where D is the outer diameter, without exceeding conductor strain. As a 2nd Generation member of the RG2 family, it uses updated shielding and jackets that raise electromagnetic compatibility while matching legacy pinouts.
In static runs installers observe a minimum bend of 5xD, reducing the risk of micro-cracks when the cable is clamped inside a cabinet or trunking. The motor end carries an M17 Encoder plug that mates directly with the feedback port on MS2 motors, eliminating adapters. At the drive side the harness is specified for ctrlX DRIVE units, enabling plug-in commissioning without manual parameter changes. Electrical characteristics and pin configuration align with MS2x encoders, supporting deterministic data transmission so interpolation, commutation, and safety-position channels stay within tolerance during long-term machine operation.
