Product Description:
The RKG0002 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKG Encoder Cables series. The assembly links motor-mounted sensing devices to Rexroth controller hardware, transmitting position data and auxiliary supply lines in automated machinery. Its design merges signal, control, and power conductors so that a single routed cable can manage encoder feedback, reference voltages, and sensor power, reducing wiring volume inside control cabinets.
Signal integrity begins at the machine interface where an industrial M23 17-Pin (Socket) mates with the motor housing, while the control-cabinet side terminates in a D-Sub 15-Pin (Socket). The M23 body hosts two supply cores sized at 2×1.0 mm². Three twisted and shielded control pairs of 3×(2×0.25 mm²) carry incremental channels and reference signals; their braid is tied into an overall copper screen that suppresses EMI. The external diameter measures only 9.7 mm, permitting tight bundle routing. A PUR outer jacket, halogen-free construction, and continuous shielding make the cable suitable for drag-chain tracks and areas requiring low smoke toxicity.
Mechanical resilience is another key attribute. The cable withstands 5,000,000 dynamic bending cycles in a drag chain and maintains signal continuity while flexing around production tooling. At the cabinet connector the molded boot directs the bundle through a 2×45° exit so sharp edges are avoided. Installers must observe a minimum fixed bend radius of 48.5 mm and a flexible routing radius of 72.8 mm to preserve conductor geometry. Conductors tolerate temperatures up to 80 °C, and the bright orange PUR jacket (RAL 2003) aids quick visual tracing during maintenance.
