Product Description:
The IKS0196 is an encoder cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the IKS Encoder Cables series. It routes differential encoder signals and auxiliary supply lines between moving axes and the drive controller in automated machinery. The cable is intended for installation in energy guiding chains where continuous motion demands tight mechanical and electrical tolerances for error-free feedback even during high-speed traverse cycles.
Mechanical endurance is demonstrated by a service life of 5,000,000 bending cycles when installed in a drag chain, and the product is explicitly approved for that application. Signal and power conductors are organized into ten insulated wires; the assembly therefore contains 10 cores arranged as four twisted pairs for data plus two single conductors. With an 8.8 mm outside diameter and a diameter tolerance of ±0.3 mm, the cable fits common chain separators without excess clearance. The outer sheath uses PUR to provide abrasion resistance, oil immunity, and low particulate shedding. Electrical operation is defined for control circuits up to 300 V, and the screened pairs limit crosstalk at typical encoder frequencies.
The application window is defined by thermal and bending limits. Conductors may reach 90 °C maximum when the cable is fixed, while dynamic runs must stay below 80 °C. For installation routing, the bend radius is 5 × D in stationary guides and 7.5 × D during continuous flexing, preventing shield fatigue. Quick identification on the machine is aided by the RAL 2003 orange jacket that encloses the specified 4×2×0.25 mm² + 2×0.5 mm² conductor set. These dimensional and color references simplify maintenance and spare-part matching during retrofit work.
