Product Description:
The RKG0023 is an encoder feedback cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. It serves as the signal link between a servomotor-mounted encoder and the corresponding drive controller, maintaining reliable transmission of position data in automated machinery that uses moving cable tracks.
The cable is built on bulk type INK0448 and employs a core assembly of 4×2×0.25 mm² + 2×0.5 mm². A tear-resistant outer jacket of PUR protects these conductors against oil and abrasion while limiting the finished diameter to 8.8 mm. With rated endurance of 5,000,000 bending cycles, it is specified for continuous flexing inside drag chains. Minimum permissible bend radii are 5×D in fixed routing and 7.5×D during motion, allowing tight panel entry without kinking. The assembly tolerates wire temperatures up to +90 °C when stationary and +80 °C under flex, so cabinet climate control is not strictly required. Use in drag-chain channels is affirmed, and the cable keeps crosstalk low across its twisted-pair layout.
Dynamic parameters accommodate machine axes that accelerate to 10 m/s² and reach carriage speeds of 5 m/s without signal degradation. On the controller side, termination is through a RGS1002/C01 (M23 10-pin) circular connector that locks to a panel receptacle; the motor end is fitted with an INS0672/C01 clamp housing for quick attachment to the encoder flange. Control conductors are insulated for up to 300 V operating potential, matching the typical voltage domain of Indramat drive electronics. These electrical and mechanical limits, combined with the specified flexible bend radius, allow the cable to be incorporated in high-cycle gantry axes, robot wrist joints, and linear transfer modules where uninterrupted encoder feedback is essential.
