RD42.1-5R-084-L, Bosch Rexroth Indramat, RD 500 Drive Controllers opens the discussion on a robust regenerative power supply module engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications. The RD42.1-5R-084-L delivers a Rated Output at 3-phase AC 400V of 84 kW with a continuous Rated Current of 160 A, ensuring ample headroom for dynamic loads. Manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belonging to the RD 500 Drive Controllers family, this module integrates seamlessly into modular drive racks. Its compact footprint and professional-grade construction reflect a focus on durability and long service life.
Incorporating a Device Variant of Regenerative design, the unit returns braking energy to the DC link, improving overall system efficiency. Forced Cooling Mode with forced air cooling maintains thermal stability across ambient ranges from Operational Temperature Range of 0 to 40 °C. It requires a Supply Voltage of 500 VAC and mandates a Minimum Ventilation Gap of 20 cm around the enclosure for reliable heat dissipation. Weighing Weight of 88 kg, the module mounts in standard control cabinets adjacent to matching drive converters and inverters.
Engineers benefit from straightforward integration into conveyor, hoist, and machine tool environments, leveraging Bosch Rexroth’s global support network. The regenerative topology and robust thermal management enhance uptime, while the regulated output ensures precision control under fluctuating conditions. Ideal for material handling, assembly systems, and high-inertia drives, the RD42.1-5R-084-L stands out for its reliability and efficiency in demanding industrial settings.
