Product Description:
The IKG0042 is a flexible motor power cable from Bosch Rexroth Indramat that belongs to the IKG Motor Power Cables series. It is designed to route drive output and low-level control signals to servomotors inside moving automation axes, where constant bending and abrasion demand a purpose-built interconnection. A mixed core layout allows simultaneous supply of motor phases, protective earth and feedback conductors so machines can reduce wiring count and keep cabinet interfaces compact.
The cable employs a stranded core build of 4x2.5 + 2x(2x1.0) mm², giving separate 2.5 mm² power conductors and paired 1.0 mm² control pairs in one sheath. This layout, together with a PUR jacket, withstands 5 million bending cycles in an energy-chain because the product is specified as drag-chain suitable. The circular structure measures 14.8 mm in outer diameter, which helps installers choose suitable glands and fill ratios. During continuous motion the flexible configuration can be curved down to 7.5 x D while dynamic; a tighter radius of 5 x D is permissible for fixed routing. The orange jacket (RAL 2003) improves visibility along machine frames, and the insulation system supports a nominal motor supply of 300/500 V without partial-discharge at the rated chain length.
Electrical performance is determined by a power-core resistance of 7.98 Ω/km, limiting voltage drop over long runs, and a mutual capacitance of 0.7 nF/m, which minimises reactive current at high inverter switching frequencies. A Total Shield of tinned copper braid encloses all conductors to block electromagnetic emissions and protect encoder lines carried inside the twin pairs. Temperature resilience is assured up to +90 °C when the cable is clamped, while flexing service is rated to +80 °C to preserve jacket elasticity. The control pairs operate at 300 V and share the same PUR insulation system. Together these characteristics allow the IKG0042 to deliver reliable motor power and signal integrity in high-duty gantries and pick-and-place modules.
