Product Description:

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RZW02.1-160-040 belongs to the RZW Braking Resistors for use in automation systems.

Its oversized 160 kW power class makes this braking resistor perfect for factory automation systems at high power levels. This product delivers 144 kW peak power output while handling 40 percent and 60 percent switch-on stimulus settings according to system specifications. Engineers can build reliable performance plans with the 120-second switching cycle as the basis. With two F7-type components rated at 4.8 Ω each that last for 40% of the engaged period and two F11-type units also at 4.8 Ω each that operate during 60% of that time, the resistor produces power. The device safely discharges energy through 2.2 Ω as its minimum connectable resistance. According to design specifications, the resistor needs 95 mm² cross sections for 40% sd and 2 times 50 mm² cross sections for 60% sd to handle energy correctly through the wiring system. The 100-second thermal time ensures the resistor releases heat steadily at peak performance periods to avoid overheating.

The RZW02.1-160-040 uses a steel screen resistor design inside a galvanized steel case that withstands demanding environments. The device's IP20 quality safeguards spaces with limited need for solid object protection exceeding 12 mm in diameter. The device relies on natural airflow for heat removal and should be mounted vertically to achieve the best possible cooling conditions. To maintain equal power distribution between parallel resistors, you need individual connection lines. It comes with a one-year guarantee and is available for purchase from Wake Industrial.
