Product Description:

The RLB2-042ECB is a motor power cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RLB Motor Power Cables series. It connects MS2-type synchronous motors to their corresponding drives and delivers three-phase power while maintaining mechanical flexibility in dynamic axes. As part of the Rexroth Cables product group, the cable links directly to automation assemblies in packaging, handling, and machining equipment, providing a pre-engineered interface between the motor housing and the drive cabinet.

The cable is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, indicating endurance for continuous‐motion gantries and chain guides. During movement, it maintains conductor integrity when curved to a minimum dynamic radius of 7.5xD, while machine builders may route it permanently at a static radius of 5xD inside fixed ducts. Power conductors share a 2.5 mm² cross-section, giving a balance between current capacity and outside diameter for compact routing. Motor termination uses an M40 connector that locks to the MS2 housing without tools and preserves the cable’s shielding path. This specification set supports the cable’s classification as a Power Cable and ensures that phase, earth, and screen conductors meet motor leakage and EMC limits.

Thermal performance spans an operating envelope of -30 to +80 °C, so the cable functions in refrigerated cells, standard workshops, or high-cycle test stands. Storage limits match those figures, allowing identical handling in spare-parts inventory. Integration is verified on ctrlX DRIVE inverters, and electrical parameters match the requirements of the MS2(X) motor series. The design is identified by the manufacturer as Basic, meaning the outer jacket, insulation system, and braiding follow a standard materials stack for general industrial environments while still achieving the bending life and radius figures noted above.
