Product Description:
The IKS4182 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat in the IKS Encoder Cables series. It serves as the movable link between a motor-mounted sensor and the control cabinet, carrying position signals while withstanding continuous motion in automated machinery. By combining signal and supply cores inside one sheath, it streamlines wiring tasks in conveyor drives, pick-and-place units, and other servo-controlled axes.
One end of the assembly terminates in a D-Sub 15-Pin (Socket) and the supplied INK0209 coupling, so installers receive a matched pair of connectors that fit standard encoder interfaces. The round jacket measures 8.8 mm in diameter and holds a Total Shield that surrounds every core to minimize electromagnetic interference on differential channels. Four twin-lead control pairs of 0.25 mm² plus two 1.0 mm² supply conductors occupy the core, all insulated in halogen-free PUR. The outer skin is Mineral Oil Resistant, and the cable is qualified for drag-chain routing over 5,000,000 bending cycles without cracking. These characteristics suit assembly lines that expose wiring to lubricants, solvents, and tight repetitive travel.
The orange sheath specified as PUR works with the vibrant RAL 2003 color code to facilitate quick visual tracing inside crowded cable carriers. Stable operation is maintained up to 80 C, allowing proximity to warm servo motors. Mechanical limits are clear: a fixed installation requires only 44 mm as minimum bend radius, while moving axes need 66 mm when flexed at speed. Inside the shield, the 2×1.0 mm² supply cores feed encoder electronics and the 4×(2×0.25) mm² twisted pairs transmit differential signals with low crosstalk. These dimensional and thermal allowances support reliable feedback in high-cycle handling modules and indexing tables.
