RZW02.1-075-060

Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat RZW02.1-075-060 is a Braking Resistor. It is a part of the RZW Braking Resistors series and it features convection cooling. Braking resistors are convention-cooled, which means they use a natural flow of air to cool down. Convection cooling can be used in conjunction with forced air cooling to improve performance. A braking resistor is used to assist in achieving motor braking. An overhaul through regenerative AC resistors helps to generate braking energy while maintaining minimum heat production. These braking resistors are used in VFD applications to stop or slow down the motor up to a nominal speed of the system. They are especially employed for the quick deceleration of a system. Braking resistors can transfer excess energy to boost the voltage of the DC link. Braking resistors are used in a variety of applications, including train braking systems and electric vehicles.

This braking resistor is DIN rail-mounted, includes EtherCAT and Ethernet interfaces and weighs 450 grams. It has dimensions of 198mm x 70mm x 35mm. An IP20 protection rating of this braking resistor means that it has a high level of protection against solid materials and water. Braking resistors with an IP20 rating are designed to dissipate a motor's braking energy and prevent damage to the drive.

Braking resistors are commonly used in various applications such as elevators, cranes, lifts, and wind turbines. In elevators, they play a crucial role by handling the entire load current during deceleration. The resistor allows the elevator to slow down safely and efficiently. The braking resistor is essential for managing energy and ensuring safe operation in these vertical transport systems. Overall, braking resistors enhance performance and safety in heavy machinery.
