Product Description:
The IKS0618 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the IKS Encoder Cables series. It carries position and speed signals between motor-mounted feedback devices and drive controllers, providing the deterministic data path required for closed-loop motion tasks on assembly lines, packaging machines, and other automated equipment. The molded connectors at each end are factory matched to Indramat encoder pinouts, allowing quick installation without field termination.
Signal integrity starts with the stranded conductor set, arranged as 5xAWG21 + 57xAWG25; the heavier gauge cores handle supply and reference potentials while the finer strands carry differential encoder channels. A Total Shield of tinned copper braid surrounds all pairs, reducing electromagnetic interference from switching drives. Mechanical flexibility is determined by a fixed-lay bend radius of 15 × D, so the cable can route inside static machine frames without exceeding dielectric stress limits. The polyurethane jacket resists abrasion from metal edges, and the circular profile stays compact with an outer diameter of 13.0 mm, easing gland selection for cabinets and motor junction boxes.
The sheath offers Extensive resistance to hydraulic and cutting oils, maintaining insulation values in fluid-rich work zones. Its high-visibility surface is colored Orange (RAL 2003), aiding traceability during service. Because the construction is not suited for drag chain applications, installers should route it in fixed trays rather than dynamic carriers. Material formulation is halogen-free to limit toxic combustion products, and it is also hydrolysis resistant and free of silicones, allowing deployment in paint booths and food lines where chemical stability and surface cleanliness are mandatory.
