Product Description:

The IKS0257 is a factory-terminated feedback lead produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKS Encoder Cables series. It serves as a dedicated link between a motor-mounted encoder and the corresponding drive controller so that position, speed, and diagnostic signals can be transmitted reliably to the control cabinet. By combining matched connectors with a shielded multi-core cable, the assembly supports noise-sensitive encoder protocols used in closed-loop motion axes throughout automated machinery.

Mechanical and electrical details are fixed by the assembly list INS0302-INK0208-INS0305, which identifies the strain-relief components, the bulk cable section, and the overmolded backshells used for the cable build. The motor side terminates in a CN-0012S Round Screw plug, and the controller end uses a CN-0012P Round Screw connection with threaded locking that helps maintain pin alignment under vibration. A PUR outer jacket surrounds the braid and foil shielding to provide abrasion resistance and flexibility for drag-chain routing. Circuit insulation is rated for 300 V continuous working potential, allowing the cable to share cabinet space with nearby motor power conductors while maintaining proper dielectric separation.

The signal cores are based on the INK0208 cable family, which provides impedance and capacitance values suited to typical differential encoder drivers. Classification as an Encoder/Control Cable means the twisted pairs are color coded for channels such as A, B, Z, temperature sensor, and auxiliary supply. Tight manufacturing tolerances help keep attenuation consistent and preserve shield coverage along the length of the lead. The molded grommet dimensions fit standard motor flange entries, allowing the assembly to pass through existing cable openings without added adapters.
