Product Description:

The RG2-500ABB is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied within the RG2 Encoder Cables series. It is intended to link motor-mounted encoders to drive controllers, transferring position and speed data for closed-loop motion control in industrial automation cells.

This cable is specified for continuous operation between -20 to +80 °C, so it can remain in service beside warm servo motors or inside chilled enclosures. Flexing durability is confirmed by a life of 5 Million bending cycles, while the copper conductors have a cross-section of 0.50 mm² to balance current capacity and outside diameter. During motion, the sheath may be bent to a dynamic radius of 7.5xD, and both power and signal pairs are rated at 300 V, allowing installation in mixed-voltage cable tracks. The design follows the Encoder Cable type definition and carries analog cabling for incremental or sine-cosine transducers.

For storage or spares holding, the assembly withstands ambient limits of -40 to +80 °C. It belongs to the 2nd Generation of RG2 wiring, reflecting insulation materials selected for higher abrasion resistance and lower capacitance. The motor-side plug is the compact M17 Encoder connector that mates directly with Rexroth encoder flanges, and its core insulation remains intact when the cable is routed to a static radius of 4xD inside a fixed cabinet. The build is listed as Basic cable design, meaning a single PVC jacket without additional armour, and the product is identified by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as a Rexroth Cable for straightforward replacement within existing harness schemes.
