Product Description:
The RKG0016 belongs to the RKG Encoder Cables series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. This pre-assembled encoder lead provides the electrical link between a motor-mounted feedback device and the associated drive controller, carrying position signals while withstanding continuous motion in cable chains common to industrial automation cells.
A long service life is supported by a rated endurance of 5,000,000 bending cycles, and the outer sheath diameter of 10.0 mm helps designers choose appropriate strain-relief glands. The jacket is formed from rugged PUR, giving resistance to oils and weld spatter while remaining flexible at low temperatures. Control circuits can be driven safely because the conductors are insulated for up to 300 V. Internally, the layout 3×0.25 + 3×(2×0.25) + 2×1.0 mm² separates pairs for differential signalling and allocates larger cores for power, minimising crosstalk inside the drag chain.
When routed statically the cable can be installed to a minimum arc of 5 x D, whereas dynamic carriers require a larger loop of 7.5 x D to avoid conductor fatigue. The controller end terminates in a D-sub 15-pin socket that mates directly with IndraDrive and Diax drives, while the motor end features a keyed M23 17-pin connector for secure coupling to Heidenhain or Bosch Rexroth encoders. Copper paths measure 83.0 Ω/km for the 0.25 mm² signal cores and 19.3 Ω/km for the 1.0 mm² power cores, ensuring low voltage drop across typical machine lengths. The PUR sheath is certified halogen-free, reducing corrosive gas generation during a fire and supporting compliance with safety regulations.
