Product Description:
The IKS0223 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the IKS Encoder Cables series. In servo systems it forms the dedicated feedback line between the encoder mounted on a motor and the controller rack, allowing position and speed data to travel with high signal integrity even when the axis is in constant motion. Its design targets installations that combine tight routing spaces with continuous flexing inside machine tools, pick-and-place gantries, and other industrial automation assemblies.
The cable withstands up to 5,000,000 bending cycles, a rating that supports long service life in high-duty energy chains. Inside the jacket, the conductor layout is 4x2x0.25 mm² + 2x0.5 mm²; the four twisted pairs carry differential encoder channels while the larger conductors feed auxiliary power. A permissible operating potential of 300 V covers typical 24 V logic and higher-level supply legs without approaching dielectric limits. With a nominal outside diameter of 8.8 mm, the assembly fits standard drag-chain separators and cable glands. During dynamic motion the minimum bend radius is 7.5 × D, preventing conductor fatigue when the cable flexes back and forth thousands of times per hour.
At the controller end, signals terminate on a D-sub 15-pin (Crimp) connector, while the motor side uses a clamp terminal block with ten contacts for quick field replacement. Static routing inside a cabinet or junction box may follow a minimum bend radius of 5 × D, making tight turns possible once the cable is fixed in place. The outer sheath is a PUR (adhesion-free, matte) compound that resists cutting fluids and coolants; its high visibility comes from the RAL 2003 (Orange) color code used throughout Rexroth installations. The construction is rated for drag-chain service and is oil-resistant, ensuring encoder feedback remains stable even where lubricants or hydraulic oils are present.
