Product Description:

The RZW02.1-045-025 is a Rexroth Indramat braking resistor with advanced thermal management for peak efficiency. It features optimized heat dissipation and a durable, flame-retardant steel enclosure. This ensures that energy is absorbed efficiently during regenerative braking to keep drive components protected from excess heat. The braking resistor supports system stability even under demanding cyclic loads and is well suited for high-performance systems that require repeated acceleration and deceleration. It comes in a fixed design that delivers predictable resistance performance, making it ideal for precision braking tasks. Its steel screen housing enhances structural integrity, ensuring protection against external impact, debris and environmental stress.

The resistor’s 45 kW rating provides the capacity needed for operations with frequent or high-intensity braking cycles. The resistor can handle the excess kinetic energy that results from rapid deceleration during braking. This helps to prevent overvoltage conditions that can interfere with safety and system efficiency during operation. The resistor operates at a 25% operating factor, meaning that it is designed to be energized for 25% of a given duty cycle. This enables it to manage intermittent braking operations efficiently while still providing reliable energy dissipation during peak load events.

The RZW02.1-045-025 braking resistor is rated for 7.3 Ω resistance level that is carefully selected to control the deceleration process by converting kinetic energy into heat at a predictable rate. With this resistance, the resistor delivers effective dissipation of energy without overstressing the drive. This allows for smooth braking performance by balancing resistance and thermal capacity to ensure consistent operational reliability. This braking resistor is designed with a 25 mm² conductor cross-section. This enhances its current-carrying capacity and thermal performance, minimizing power loss and heat buildup.
