Product Description:

The RKG0008 is an encoder extension cable built by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. Designed for servo feedback loops, it connects motor-mounted sensors to drive controllers and preserves signal integrity in fast-moving machinery. The cable’s industrial jacket, shielding, and strain relief help maintain accurate position data during repetitive bend cycles on pick-and-place units, linear modules, and robotic wrists.

This model is delivered in a factory-terminated, Ready-Made format, so installers only route and secure the lead without field crimping. A fixed length of 3.0 m supports short-span cabinet or drag-chain layouts, and its internal bundle carries 8 individually insulated cores that match typical incremental or absolute encoder pinouts.  The cable model s tolerates continuous motion thanks to a dynamic bend limit of 7.5×D, which expresses the minimum radius permitted when the cable is flexed during operation.

Mechanical endurance is underlined by a service life of 5,000,000 bending cycles in energy chains, while stationary runs may be looped down to a 5×D static radius without jacket damage. Factory mounting uses an AEH0008  connector on the drive side and an RGS0007 mating plug for the motor, eliminating pin-assignment errors and shortening change-over times. These keyed connectors lock with thread collars and provide reliable EMC bonding to the cable shield.
