Product Description:
The IKS4065 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the IKS Encoder Cables series. As a dedicated feedback lead, it links motor-mounted encoders to drive controllers so position data can circulate reliably in automated machinery. The cable is designed for dynamic motion chains, enabling continual bending and routing inside energy tracks while preserving signal integrity in demanding industrial automation environments.
Mechanically, the core service life is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, a figure that defines how many articulations the conductors and shielding can survive without fatigue. For static installation the minimum bend radius is 5 x D, while moving applications require 7.5 x D; using these radii prevents kinking and maintains impedance. The internal layout follows a 4x2x0.25 mm² + 2x0.5 mm² design, separating differential pairs from power conductors to limit crosstalk. Each end terminates in a 12-pin connector, allowing one-to-one mating with Rexroth encoder sockets and eliminating field crimping. The control pairs carry signals on 0.25 mm² conductors, matching common encoder current levels.
The outer sheath is made from PUR (adhesion-free, matte), a thermoplastic that resists oil and weld splatter and supports chain operation. With a diameter of 8.8 mm, the assembly fits standard drag-chain separators while still housing supply conductors with a 0.5 mm² cross-section that can carry encoder auxiliary power up to 300 V AC. Temperature limits are defined at 90 °C for fixed routing and 80 °C for continuous motion, so cabinet or machine designs must keep the cable within these values to avoid insulation degradation.
