Product Description:

The RL2-542EBB motor power cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RL2 Motor Power Cables series. Classified under the Rexroth Cable product group, it is a basic design power lead intended for routing drive output to second-generation servo motors in automated production cells and handling systems. The assembly carries phase, neutral, and control conductors while maintaining electrical integrity during the constant motion required in modern industrial automation.

Its conductor arrangement follows the cable type 4x L + 4x 0.75 mm², delivering four power cores and four smaller auxiliary cores around a collective cross-section of 2.5 mm² per phase. The overall outside diameter of 14.8 mm makes the assembly compatible with standard energy-chain clamps, and a tough PUR (Orange RAL 2003) jacket resists abrasion, oil, and welding sparks. For cabinet termination, the line uses the metric thread interface V (M40), which provides strain relief at the motor connector. Electrical properties include a leakage capacitance of 0.4 nF/m, a value that helps support output filter sizing and EMC performance in high-frequency switching environments.

In motion applications, the cable tolerates 5 million flex cycles when routed within a dynamic bending radius of 7.5xD, a geometry that minimizes conductor stress during continuous travel. When installed in fixed conduits, the static bending criterion eases to 5xD, reducing installation space without exceeding permissible shield compression. Being halogen-free, the PUR sheath produces low smoke and no corrosive gases during fire events, which supports use in facilities with strict safety requirements. The cable is suited to linear robots, gantries, and palletizing cells where repeated travel can place continuous stress on both power and auxiliary conductors.
