Product Description:
The RG2-012AAB cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the RG2 Encoder Cables series. It is intended to transfer position feedback between compatible servo motors and drive hardware in industrial automation. The transmitted position data allow the drive to monitor motor movement and correct deviations during operation. This feedback supports synchronized motion control within closed-loop servo axes used in automated production equipment.
This second-generation cable uses the series’ Basic construction, combining a digital twisted-pair core with standard PVC jacketing. Its mechanical durability is demonstrated by a service life of 5,000,000 flex cycles, allowing routing through continuous-motion drag chains without premature conductor fatigue. Each conductor has a cross-sectional area of 0.50 mm², supporting low-level encoder currents while keeping the overall cable diameter small. During dynamic machine movement, the cable may bend to a minimum radius of 7.5 × D, whereas fixed installation permits a tighter radius of 5 × D. The cable operates at ambient temperatures as low as -40 °C, permitting use in unheated production facilities and refrigerated processing areas. Its PVC jacket provides an outer protective layer for the internal conductors during fixed and flexible routing.
The cable terminates with an M17 molded connector that mates directly with the feedback port on MS2M motors. Its pinout is compatible with the encoder socket on ctrlX DRIVE-CN (XCS2-F) inverters, supporting direct assembly without an intermediate adapter. This direct connection eliminates breakout boxes and reduces the number of connection points along the encoder signal path. The second-generation design uses shielding around the twisted pairs to limit electromagnetic interference, and the cable supports temperatures up to 80 °C. The product is categorized as a Rexroth Cable, distinguishing this purpose-built feedback assembly from general-purpose signal wiring.
