Product Description:

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RZW02.1-018-015 is a member of the RZW02.1 brake resistor series that effectively drive regenerative braking operations.

Despite lower performance requirements, it fits applications that need controlled braking energy management with its resistance setting of 18.0 ohms and power rating of 4.0 kW for 100% switch-on time. The unit shows better power handling capability with extended duty cycles and achieves its highest potential of 16.5 kW usage. The RZW02.1-018-015 functions optimally when engaged for 15% of the total run time under consistent operations. This configuration gives you 4 times more peak output power than continuous power, so the device runs efficiently and avoids overheating during operation. This heat dissipation unit works with a 100-second thermal time constant, which allows heat to radiate steadily and efficiently. It maintains safety and use performance consistency at 80°C to help systems work reliably in demanding duties.

The braking resistor meets IP20 protection standards that shield against physical objects in a dust-free environment. This product accepts switching duties of 6%, 15%, 25%, 40%, and 60% to match different setup scenarios. A 10 mm² minimum copper wire conductor with the same copper standards ensures safe grounding and operational connection. The RZW02.1-018-015 operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and can be stored in temperatures between -25°C and +70°C. The device can handle up to 90% non-condensing humidity in its operating environment. It comes with a one-year guarantee and is available for purchase from Wake Industrial.
