Product Description:

The RKB0001 is a pre-assembled control cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKB Control Cables series. It carries communication signals between drives, I/O terminals, and motion controllers in automated machinery. This role supports orderly wiring and helps system buses maintain stable signal transmission during machine operation.

The mechanical service life is defined by a bending endurance of 5,000,000 cycles, allowing repeated flexing in carrier-chain travel. During dynamic movement, the cable must maintain a minimum bend radius of 7.5xD so the conductors are not overstressed. Reliable operation extends down to -30 °C, and continuous duty can reach 80 °C without damaging the insulation system.

In static routing, the bend can tighten to 5xD, which suits fixed cabinet runs after the cable is positioned. The cable is supplied as a Ready-Made assembly with pre-terminated connectors to reduce wiring time and avoid crimping mistakes. It uses the System Bus Cable format, and the Basic construction keeps the cable lighter for moving applications.

Storage conditions may reach 40 °C, and the jacket materials are rated to tolerate that upper warehouse limit while the cable remains out of service. Wake Industrial stocks this cable, offers same-day shipping for urgent orders, and includes a 1-year warranty on every purchase. Customers can use the chat tool available on the website for questions about type codes or signal-pair assignments, and that resource helps buyers confirm basic cable details before purchase without requiring a phone call during routine part identification for maintenance or planned replacement orders alike.
