Product Description:

The IKG4055 cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKG Motor Power Cables series. It is a shielded motor lead that carries drive output and control references to synchronous or induction motors on automated lines. By combining power conductors and control pairs in a flexible construction, the cable accommodates constant motion inside cable carriers used on gantries, pick-and-place axes and other dynamic machine elements.

The electrical behaviour of the IKG4055 is shaped by its capacitance of 0.8 nF/m, a value that influences drive-side reactive currents and therefore must be considered during long-run installations. A tough outer jacket made from PUR resists oil, abrasion and coolant ingress, and it encloses an overall diameter of 12.2 mm, helping planners size glands and cable chains correctly. When laid in a static routing, the assembly can be bent down to a radius of 5 × D, while dynamic applications require a radius of 7.5 × D to maintain conductor integrity. These bending limits stem from the multilayered construction that prevents shield cracking and keeps impedance stable under motion.

For electrical clearance, both the power cores and the integrated control pair are rated at 600 VAC under UL rules, allowing the same cable to handle drive output and encoder supply without separate harnesses. The sheath is finished in the industry-standard RAL 2003 (Orange) colour for quick identification along energy chains. Four tinned copper conductors of 4x1.5 mm² form the power circuit, and their loop resistance is limited to 13.3 Ω/km, enabling low-loss transmission over extended machine lengths. Certified suitability for drag-chain use means the cable survives millions of cycles without corkscrew deformation, so builders can route it through high-speed carriers with confidence while still observing the control and power voltage segregation dictated above.
