Product Description:

The RKG0027 cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted encoders to drive controllers, carrying differential position signals while withstanding continuous motion in automated machinery. By matching the mating connectors on Rexroth motors and drives, the assembly simplifies commissioning and maintains reliable feedback in drag-chain and gantry installations.

The cable is rated for up to 5,000,000 flex cycles, so it can traverse energy chains for long service intervals. During motion the sheath may bend down to a dynamic radius of 7.5xD; this limit prevents conductor fatigue when routing through tight loops. Once fixed in place, the static minimum radius improves to 4xD, supporting compact cabinet runs. Encoder supply and signalling cores are insulated for a maximum control voltage of 300 V, allowing the same harness to carry auxiliary sensor lines without extra shielding.

The mechanical interface is equally specific. Motor-side termination uses an M23 12-Pin (Socket) connector with crimp sockets, while the controller end presents a D-Sub 15-Pin (Pin) plug ready for standard Rexroth interface cards. A tough PUR outer jacket resists oil and weld splatter, and its high-visibility Orange (RAL 2003) colour helps technicians trace feedback circuits quickly. It is compatible with drag-chain carriers, and permissible temperatures span −20 °C to 80 °C for operation and wider limits for storage.

Wake Industrial stocks this cable and can arrange same-day shipping when production schedules are tight. Each purchase is backed by a 1-year warranty. Price quotations remain valid for 30 days to assist with budget approvals.
