Product Description:

The RKG0047 belongs to the RKG Encoder Cables series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is an encoder feedback cable supplied as a complete assembly that links a motor-mounted encoder to the controller, ensuring position data reaches the drive without signal loss in automated machinery.

This cable is factory finished as a Ready-Made assembly, so no field crimping is required. Mechanical life is rated for 5,000,000 flex cycles, and it is approved for drag-chain routing to suit constantly moving axes. Dynamic flexing is limited by a bending radius of 7.5xD, while the static radius is 4×D for parked runs. At the controller end the conductors exit the backshell at two 45° angles, terminate on a D-Sub 15-Pin plug, and use a crimp pin contact system with 15 signal positions to match standard Rexroth encoder interfaces.

The motor end mates to a Terminal Box RGK3102 housing and presents a Mini-DIN 8-Pin encoder interface for direct connection inside the feedback enclosure. Operation is permitted down to -20 °C; storage limits span from –40 °C up to 80 °C, preventing insulation damage during transport or warehousing. A static bending radius of 4xD applies when the cable is secured in place, allowing tight cabinet routing without stressing the conductors. These characteristics let the RKG0047 maintain signal integrity and mechanical reliability in servo axes that experience continuous motion, rapid acceleration, and extended ambient temperature ranges.
