Product Description:

The IKS0182 is an encoder cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the IKS Encoder Cables series. It forms the electrical link between motor-mounted position sensors and the controller, carrying incremental or absolute signals in automated machinery. The construction is intended for continuous motion in drag chains, so it supports servo loops that move repeatedly along linear axes or articulated robots without signal degradation.

This model remains operational in environments from -40 to +80 °C, allowing installation alongside drives and motors that see both refrigeration and elevated machine-bed temperatures. Power conductors inside the jacket are rated to 300 V, providing adequate insulation margin for typical 24 V or 5 V encoder supplies. Mechanical life is proven by 5,000,000 bending cycles, and every cycle may include combined flex and twist up to ±180°/30 cm without conductor breakage. At the device end, a controller plug with 15 contacts mates directly to Rexroth interface cards, eliminating intermediate terminal blocks.

Dynamic layouts are supported by a minimum moving bend radius of 7.5 × D, so the cable can be routed tightly in compact energy chains. Strain relief is facilitated by a clamping window of 4.8–11 mm, matching common gland sizes used in cabinet bulkheads. The molded hood carries a keyed D-Sub 15-Pin socket that prevents incorrect mating and shields against electromagnetic noise. All jacket and insulation materials are Halogen-Free, which limits corrosive gas release if the cable is exposed to flame during maintenance welding or panel faults.
