Product Description:

The RKG0029 encoder cable is supplied by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links position feedback devices to drive controllers in industrial automation, carrying differential encoder signals while remaining flexible enough for moving machine axes. The cable is pre-terminated and ready for plug-and-play installation between the encoder and the controller cabinet.

This model is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, a figure that defines its fatigue life when repeatedly flexed in cable carriers. During motion the minimum bend radius is 7.5xD, so the cable should not be curved tighter than 7.5 times its diameter, while static routing can follow the smaller 5xD radius without stressing the conductors. An outer sheath of PUR provides abrasion resistance and oil tolerance, and the assembly is manufactured from raw cable INK0448 to match Bosch Rexroth signal impedance requirements. Overall diameter reaches 8.8 mm, allowing installation through standard gland sizes yet giving space for the twisted pairs and power cores that form the internal geometry.

Device interfaces are fixed: the controller end carries the INS0760 connector and the encoder side is equipped with an AEH plug, eliminating field termination errors. Internally, the cable follows a 4×2×0.25 mm² plus 2×0.5 mm² layout, and each control core maintains a cross-section of 0.25 mm² to keep voltage drop low on long runs. It is halogen-free to reduce corrosive gas emission during fire, and its suitability for drag chain use is confirmed by the reinforced braid and filler system. The outer sleeve follows RAL 2003 (orange) for quick visual identification in machine enclosures.
