Product Description:

The IKS4001 cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKS Encoder Cables series. Designed as a flexible feedback link between synchronous motors and drive controllers, it carries incremental or absolute position data while withstanding continuous motion in drag-chain routes common to modern automation cells. The cable’s construction and connectors make it integral to maintaining reliable encoder communication in dynamic machine tools and handling systems.

With a service life tested to 5,000,000 bending cycles, the IKS4001 is intended for frequent flexing. The outer diameter measures 9.7 mm, small enough for tight carrier channels yet large enough to protect multiple pairs and power cores. A robust PUR jacket in RAL 2003 resists oils and weld spatter, and total shielding blocks electromagnetic noise. Installation guidelines specify a minimum fixed bend radius of 5xD and a dynamic radius of 7.5xD, figures that prevent conductor fatigue during continuous acceleration inside a drag chain.

Electrical capability is matched to typical Rexroth encoders. At the motor end an M23 17-Pin plug with pattern P mates directly to MSK and similar devices, while the controller side terminates in a compact D-Sub for cabinet interfaces. Data pairs are assigned to the EnDat GDM/GDS 2.x protocol, enabling bidirectional position and diagnostic exchange. Supply conductors rated 1 mm² handle auxiliary power, and all copper cores may operate up to 80 °C without derating, allowing the cable to traverse warm machine interiors without insulation degradation.

Wake Industrial offers a 1-year warranty on every IKS4001 cable. Same-day shipping is available when timing is critical. Technicians can use the free chat tool to ask about type codes or pin assignments before ordering.
