Product Description:
The IKS0182 encoder cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat belongs to the IKS Encoder Cables series. It is a shielded, preterminated assembly that connects motor or scale encoders to Rexroth drive controllers, carrying differential position signals and encoder supply power. Within automated cells, this cable forms the feedback link that allows axis controllers to close the position loop and maintain programmed tolerances and repeatability. The design is intended for machines with moving cable carriers, rotary tables, or pick-and-place modules that require a flexible and electrically stable feedback connection.
Continuous service is permitted from -40 to +80 °C, supporting operation in cold storage areas and heated control cabinets. The cable cores withstand torsion of ±180° per 30 cm, allowing the assembly to accommodate repeated twisting along moving machine sections. The cable is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles in a drag-chain loop, providing the flexibility required for repetitive motion. During movement, the sheath can curve to a minimum radius of 7.5 × D, while fixed routing permits a tighter radius of 5 × D for compact panel runs. The outer layer uses a halogen-free jacket, which emits low levels of corrosive gases during a fire and helps limit damage to nearby equipment. These thermal, torsional, bending, and jacket properties support routing through demanding industrial machinery without compromising the conductors or shielding.
The controller end terminates in a 15-pin D-Sub socket that provides the required interface for compatible Rexroth drive controllers. Its soldered contacts create secure electrical connections that resist vibration during machine operation. A metal backshell includes strain relief for cable diameters from 4.8 to 11 mm, accommodating commonly used polyurethane or PVC encoder cable jackets. Internal power pairs are insulated for up to 300 V, allowing low-current encoder supplies and digital signal lines to share the cable while maintaining suitable electrical separation. The shielding helps protect differential feedback signals from electromagnetic interference generated by nearby motors, power conductors, and switching devices. The preterminated design also provides a consistent connector arrangement for installation in control cabinets and moving-axis assemblies.
