Product Description:
The RKG0013 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKG Encoder Cables series. It is intended to carry encoder feedback and auxiliary power between motion drives and rotary or linear transducers inside automated machinery, allowing precise position control while accommodating constant flexing in cable tracks.
This model is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, indicating its suitability for continuous movement in energy-chain environments. A diameter of 10.0 mm balances mechanical robustness with routing flexibility, and the outer jacket is made from PUR, a material chosen for abrasion resistance and oil tolerance. The conductors and shields can withstand up to 300 V operating potential, so both signal and auxiliary supply lines remain within the insulation limits of standard drive systems. Total electromagnetic screening is provided by a Total Shield, which minimises noise coupling when the cable is installed alongside motor power leads. The construction is approved for drag-chain use, so cyclic acceleration does not compromise conductor integrity or jacket bonding.
The internal layout follows a 3x0.25 + 3x(2x0.25)StC + 2x1.0 mm² arrangement, separating signal pairs from power cores to control impedance and reduce crosstalk. At the drive end an industry-standard D-Sub 15-Pin (Socket) mates with Bosch Rexroth controller fronts, while the feedback device side terminates in a sealed M23 17-Pin Union Nut (Socket) for quick tool-free coupling. The cable supports the manufacturer’s EN2 encoder interface so differential data lines and supply pins match pin-out conventions without adaptation. Together these features make the RKG0013 a ready-to-install link that sustains dynamic motion while preserving accurate feedback in servo axes.
