Product Description:

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RKG0011 is an encoder extension cable supplied in the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted measuring systems to drive controllers, transmitting position and speed signals within closed-loop industrial automation. The cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat to match the pinout and shielding requirements for digital encoder feedback, so it integrates directly with Rexroth drives that specify this series.

At the device end, an M23 17-Pin (Socket) mates with typical motor encoders, while the control-cabinet end terminates in a D-Sub 15-Pin (Socket) that fits the corresponding drive interface. The assembly is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, making it suitable for applications with continuous motion. Its fine-stranded conductors and optimized braid geometry contribute to this high flex life. A dynamic bending radius of 7.5xD must be observed when the cable moves inside an energy chain; this prevents conductor fatigue. The cable is approved for drag-chain installation and its outer sheath is colored Orange (RAL 2003) for quick identification on the machine floor. Being halogen-free, smoke toxicity remains low during an electrical fault.

When routed permanently, the cable may be laid with a static bending radius of 5xD, allowing compact cabinet wiring without overstressing the cores. The sheath is extruded from PUR (Matt Surface), giving abrasion resistance and resilience against coolants. Conductors can operate up to +80°C, so the assembly tolerates the elevated temperatures found near servo motors. Compliance with EN 60811-2-1 confirms oil resistance, enabling installation in lubricated production zones. Chemical stability of the PUR mix also guards against machining emulsions and hydraulic oils.
