Product Description:
The IKS4131 cable from Bosch Rexroth Indramat is part of the IKS Encoder Cables series and is engineered as the dedicated feedback link between an Indramat drive controller and its motor-mounted encoder. By pairing power conductors with low-capacitance signal pairs inside a common shield, the assembly delivers stable differential signals and reference voltage over typical machine lengths. Within an automation cell this component reduces noise ingress into the encoder channel, allowing the drive to maintain precise position control and error-free diagnostics during high-speed motion.
Its fixed installation rating permits operation from -30 to +40 °C, while a laboratory test of 5 million bending cycles confirms suitability for continuously moving cable carriers. One end terminates in a D-Sub 15-pin (pin) plug and the opposite side carries a D-Sub 15-pin socket, matching Indramat encoder interfaces. The overall diameter is 9.7 mm ±0.2 mm, and the copper cores may reach a maximum temperature of 80 °C without degrading the insulation system. A total-shield bulk design surrounds four shielded 0.14 mm² control-wire pairs and two 1 mm² supply conductors; this construction restricts crosstalk and limits electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy cabinets.
For dynamic routing the moving-chain temperature window narrows to -20 to +40 °C, and installers must observe a minimum bend radius of 7.5 × D; static runs can tighten to 5 × D without stressing the jacket. The sheath is moulded from PUR and coloured orange RAL 2003 so that machine-builders can identify feedback cables at a glance. Inside, four twisted pairs carry A, B, and reference tracks, while the drive supply reaches the encoder through 2 × 1.0 mm² cores. These mechanical and electrical characteristics contribute to long service life in high-cycle pick-and-place, gantry, and packaging equipment.
