Product Description:

The RHB2-500BBB belongs to the RHB2 Encoder Cables series manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. As a Rexroth cable, it combines signal and power cores in one jacket, reducing wiring effort between MS2 servo motors and ctrlX DRIVE in industrial automation cells. Its purpose is to transmit encoder data and motor supply in a single hybrid line, simplifying assembly in high-cycle handling or packaging systems.

This cable follows a Basic design and is classified as Hybrid Cables, meaning it carries both feedback and power in parallel. Four dedicated power conductors supply the drive, while two auxiliary conductors of 0.5 mm² support brake or sensor functions. The overall cross-section is 0.75 mm², arranged in the 4×L + 2×0.5 mm² + 4×AWG24 – DS layout. A Double Shielded screen—foil and braid—suppresses EMC noise over conveyor lengths. Mechanically, the jacket survives up to 5,000,000 flex cycles in drag-chain duty, with a dynamic bending radius of 7.5xD to prevent copper fatigue during continuous motion.

Field termination is handled by the compact M17 Hybrid Connector, mating directly to IndraDrive or ctrlX power modules. Inside the feedback bundle are 4 (AWG24) signal conductors that route SinCos encoder pulses to the controller. Installation on robots is eased by the static bending radius of 5xD, and reliable service is maintained from -40 to 80 °C in both operation and storage. Connection coding aligns with MS2(x) motors, while a dedicated pin set links to the ctrlX DRIVE system without adapters, rounding out the cable’s application scope.

Wake Industrial offers same-day shipping options on this model when fast replacement is required. A comprehensive 1-year warranty accompanies every purchase. For questions about type codes or general specifications, customers can use the free chat tool provided on the website.
