Product Description:
The IKS4041 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the IKS Encoder Cables series. Intended for industrial automation systems, it links position transducers to drive controllers reliably while shielding low-level analog feedback against electromagnetic noise. The cable is delivered as an Encoder Cable (Total Shield) with a pre-mounted M23 12-pin socket at the encoder side and a matched D-sub connector for the controller interface. This arrangement simplifies plug-and-play replacement and ensures correct pin allocation between differential tracks, supply conductors, and reference potentials.
Mechanical service life is critical on moving axes, and the IKS4041 is rated for 5000000 bending cycles in energy chains. The cable diameter of 9.7 mm minimises space consumption yet leaves enough copper for both power and feedback circuits. An outer jacket made from PUR resists oil, coolant, and abrasion during continuous operation. Flame performance is improved because the compound is Halogen-Free, limiting corrosive gas release during a fire. Copper conductors can reach continuous temperatures up to 80°C without degrading insulation integrity.
Correct handling during installation maintains signal fidelity. On fixed routing the cable may be bent down to a radius of 5xD, whereas continuous flexing applications must respect 7.5xD. Encoder electronics are powered through 2×1.0 mm² supply cores, while position data travel on 4×2×0.14 mm² differential pairs with 4×0.14 mm² auxiliary lines. The electrical format carried is 1Vss, providing sin-cos analog feedback for high-resolution interpolation. Fast identification in multi-cable trays is supported by the Orange (RAL 2003) sheath that also matches Bosch Rexroth Indramat color coding.
