Product Description:
The RG2-012AAB is an encoder interconnection lead manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RG2 Encoder Cables series. As a purpose-built link between MS2M feedback devices and ctrlX DRIVE controllers, it carries position data while tolerating continual motion inside energy chains. The basic construction is aimed at modern automation cells where compact routing, low signal loss, and long service life are critical for closed-loop motor regulation.
This cable endures up to 5,000,000 flex cycles, a figure that defines its fatigue life when repeatedly bent in dynamic drag-chain applications. Being a 2nd Generation model, it benefits from updated insulation and screening that improve electromagnetic immunity over earlier variants. It is categorized as an Encoder Cable, meaning the twisted pairs are impedance-matched for digital feedback pulses rather than motor power. Each core has a cross-section of 0.50 mm², balancing current-carrying capacity with pliability. During motion the sheath may bend down to a dynamic radius of 7.5xD, preventing copper work-hardening while allowing tight cabinet layouts.
The installation phase considers a static radius of 5xD, applicable when the harness is clamped and no longer moves. Temperature resilience extends from 80 °C at the upper limit to -40 °C for cold-start conditions, permitting deployment in chilled warehouses as well as heated machinery. An M17 metal connector mates directly to the motor, and the direct-connection format removes intermediate junction boxes to reduce potential failure points. The cable employs a digital transmission scheme with differential pairs, matches the Basic design profile of the RG2 family, and is expressly qualified for ctrlX DRIVE-CN (XCS2-F) in conjunction with MS2M synchronous motors.
Wake Industrial offers same-day shipping on qualifying orders, keeps quotations valid for 30 days, and maintains a free chat tool for questions about type codes or error signals.
