Product Description:
The IKL0268 is a flexible power cable engineered by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the IKL Control Cables series. It is intended to supply drive power to moving axes that operate inside guided drag chains. The cable’s mechanical design allows it to travel repeatedly without conductor fatigue, making it suitable for pick-and-place robots, palletizers, and high-speed packaging lines where electrical continuity must be maintained through millions of cycles. Combined with a polyurethane jacket, the fine-stranded copper cores withstand machine oils and ambient vibration.
The dynamic rating reaches 5,000,000 bending cycles, indicating the number of full strokes the cable can perform before mechanical degradation is expected. During motion, the minimum bend radius in continuous carrier applications is 7.5 × D, so routing must respect this multiple of the outer diameter to avoid stress on the copper strands. For rapid axis movements, the conductor system tolerates peak accelerations of up to 10 m/s² and maintains electrical continuity while the outer sheath moves through chains at velocities of up to 5 m/s. The orange jacket is molded from PUR, a polyurethane compound that resists abrasion, welding sparks, and many industrial coolants. These material properties support extended operation in machining centers and assembly cells where the cable may encounter frequent movement and exposure to industrial fluids.
When the cable is anchored or clamped, the allowable static bend radius is 5 × D, simplifying cabinet wiring without compromising insulation life. A single run may extend to 75 m, supporting large portal systems without intermediate junctions. The material formulation is halogen-free, so combustion gases contain low levels of corrosive or toxic components. The sheath passes the oil-immersion tests of EN 60811-2-1 for operation around hydraulic equipment. Conductors can reach 80 °C during service, and storage is permissible from -30 °C to 40 °C, supporting storage in unheated warehouses before installation.
