Product Description:
The RKB0047 is a flexible control cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKB Control Cables series. It is intended for moving-axis installations where repeated travel would quickly wear out a general-purpose stationary cable. In these applications, sensors, actuators, or feedback devices remain connected to drive controllers without signal loss while the machine is in continuous motion. This makes it suitable for automated equipment that relies on stable low-level control signals during constant flexing, such as linear slides, transfer systems, and other guided motion assemblies.
The cable is rated for 3,000,000 flex cycles, so it can operate in cable-carrier layouts that experience repeated bending over long service intervals. During motion, it must follow a minimum bend radius of 10 times the cable diameter, which helps reduce mechanical stress on the conductors and insulation. A PUR outer jacket resists cutting fluids and abrasion, supporting use in industrial areas where the cable may contact rough surfaces or process residue. The cable remains unshielded to keep the overall diameter small when electromagnetic noise is not a concern. The assembly withstands a continuous tensile load of 45 N and is compatible with cable carriers for guided routing.
Signal transmission is provided through 4 conductors, each sized at 0.75 mm² to support typical control-level currents and common device wiring needs. One end terminates in a M12 female straight (A-coded) connector, which provides a compact interface for discrete I/O or sensor power on standard industrial components. The opposite side is delivered as an open end, allowing direct field termination to terminal blocks or custom connectors inside a cabinet or junction point. Individual cores are identified for correct polarity, which helps maintain orderly wiring and reduces connection errors during installation. This arrangement supports straightforward integration where one side must plug into a device and the other side must be terminated to suit the machine layout.
