Product Description:
The RKG0039 is an encoder cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKG Encoder Cables series. Designed for servo systems, the cable links the motor-side encoder to the drive controller, carrying differential feedback signals required for closed-loop position control in automated production cells, packaging lines, and material-handling axes. Its mechanical design supports frequent motion inside cable tracks while its electrical characteristics match standard Rexroth encoder interfaces, ensuring that positional data reach the controller without timing errors or signal reflections.
Its stranded pair layout follows the specification 4×2×0.25 mm² + 2×0.5 mm², giving eight signal cores plus two power conductors arranged for balanced impedance and low crosstalk. Each 0.25 mm² signal core exhibits a resistance of 83.0 Ω/km, so voltage drop remains minimal over typical machine lengths. The molded controller end terminates in a D-sub 15-pin plug that mates directly with Indramat drive encoder sockets, eliminating adapter hardware. Despite continuous articulation, the sheath sustains up to 5,000,000 bending cycles before conductor fatigue arises. An overall outer sheath with an 8.8 mm diameter fits standard cable clamps while still accommodating the required twisted-pair geometry.
The outer layer is a PUR jacket, selected for abrasion resistance and to prevent adhesive buildup inside energy-chains. Because the cable is halogen-free, it emits low-toxicity fumes during an electrical fault and meets plant safety directives. It is also oil resistant, allowing installation near hydraulic actuators without swelling or embrittlement. Finally, its design is drag-chain rated, so repeated flexing along short radii occurs without kinking or loss of shielding performance during its expected operational life.
