Product Description:
The RG2-013ABB is an encoder cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RG2 Encoder Cables series. As a Rexroth cable it forms the feedback link between MAD or MAF motor encoders and a ctrlX DRIVE inverter, transmitting analog position data without signal degradation. The assembly is supplied as a finished harness so installation teams can route it directly between machine axes and cabinet drives in industrial automation cells.
During dynamic motion the cable must tolerate robotic or gantry flexing; its rated life reaches 5 million bending cycles when movement stays inside the specified curvature limits. Conductors use a cross-section of 0.50 mm², balancing voltage drop and cable diameter for medium-length runs. Continuous motion should observe a dynamic bend radius of 7.5xD, while the factory-installed M23 encoder connector locks to the motor housing with a metal threaded coupling that ensures EMC shielding. Electrical insulation and jacket materials allow operation from -20 to 80 °C so the assembly can run directly alongside hot motors or in chilled halls.
The cable follows a Basic design standard yet belongs to the 2nd Generation of RG2 interconnects, giving it updated materials that lower capacitance for clearer analog feedback. When machinery remains stationary, the installation may be bent down to the static limit of 4xD without cracking the insulation, and storage in spare-parts racks is permitted between -40 to 80 °C. The analog cabling format, direct motor-drive connection path and compatibility with ctrlX DRIVE controllers allow maintenance crews to replace or extend feedback wiring without re-terminating field connectors.
