Product Description:
Bosch Rexroth Indramat produces the IKS4376 cable as part of the IKS Encoder Cables series. This preassembled cable connects motor-mounted rotary or linear encoders to Rexroth drive controllers, transmitting position data and auxiliary signals required for closed-loop motion control in automated machinery. Its pinout, shielding, and mechanical durability help maintain stable feedback when the cable is routed through continuously moving carriers on assembly lines, gantries, or pick-and-place systems.
The cable is designed for repetitive movement, and its conductors withstand 5,000,000 flex cycles when correctly installed in a drag chain. The assembly uses INK0448 bulk cable with four signal pairs and two power leads in a 4x2x0.25 mm² + 2x0.5 mm² conductor layout. The 0.25 mm² signal pairs have a loop resistance of 83.0 Ω/km, which limits voltage drop over long travel distances. The control cores are rated for circuits up to 300 V. For proper routing, the minimum bend radius is 5 × D in fixed installations and 7.5 × D during dynamic movement. These routing limits reduce mechanical stress on the conductors and insulation as the cable repeatedly moves through a carrier.
Field termination is unnecessary because each end has a molded circular connector. The encoder side uses an M23 12-pin socket, while the drive side uses an M23 12-pin plug; both connectors have crimp contacts that resist vibration. A halogen-free PUR outer jacket protects the cable from cutting fluids, abrasion, and weld spatter while preserving the flexibility needed for carrier bends. The cable has an overall diameter of 8.8 mm, allowing dense routing through energy chains and control cabinets without crowding adjacent power cables. Its compact profile also makes it easier to maintain separation between feedback wiring and higher-current conductors. The molded terminations protect the conductor interfaces from repeated movement and reduce the possibility of loose field-installed contacts.
