Product Description:

The IKS4049 is an encoder feedback cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKS Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted encoders to drive controllers, transmitting position signals while withstanding repetitive motion inside modern automation cells, robotic axes, and gantry systems where continuous flexing and accurate data transfer are required.

The cable is rated for a fixed installation bend radius of 5 × D; this dimension safeguards conductor geometry when the harness is clamped or routed around stationary obstacles. During continuous motion the minimum radius increases to 7.5 × D, reducing mechanical strain as the bundle cycles through cable tracks. Laboratory tests certify durability for 5,000,000 cycles in drag-chain service, making the assembly suitable for high-duty production lines. Copper conductors operate safely up to 80 °C, allowing proximity to motors and braking resistors without insulation degradation.

On the controller side a D-sub 15-pin plug with solder sockets mates directly to Indramat drive racks, while the field end terminates in a robust M23 (17-pin) receptacle that seals against coolant splash. Flame-retardant jacketing is halogen-free, reducing corrosive gas emission during an electrical fault or fire. Resistance to cutting oils and hydraulic fluids meets the composite specification EN 60811-2-1 / EN 50363-10-2, so the cable maintains dielectric properties even when immersed in machining environments.

Wake Industrial stocks this cable for immediate allocation, and same-day shipping options are available on qualifying orders. Quotes issued for the IKS4049 remain valid for 30 days, simplifying maintenance planning.
