Product Description:

The RKG0053 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted encoder assemblies to drive controllers, transmitting position signals while tolerating constant motion inside machine tools, pick-and-place axes, and other automated stations.

This model is built from the REG0011 bulk cable and carries a conductor set of 4 power pairs at 0.5 mm² plus nine signal cores arranged as 5 twisted pairs of 0.14 mm² stranded copper. A molded RGS0003 (CM75) connector is fitted to the encoder side, while the opposite end terminates in an RGS0004 (CM50) plug for the drive. The sheath diameter is 10.0 mm, so routing trays and clamps can be dimensioned accurately. Flex performance is verified for 5,000,000 bending cycles, and dynamic installations must observe a minimum moving loop of 7.5×D to avoid conductor fatigue. The PUR jacketing, orange in accordance with RAL 2003, is drag-chain rated, supports cable carriers in high-duty systems, and withstands ambient temperatures up to 80 °C without derating.

When the cable remains stationary, the allowable loop tightens to a minimum of 4×D, simplifying cabinet wiring where space is limited. The wear-resistant PUR sheath—identified here as PUR—maintains flexibility down to −40 C, permitting cold-start operation on outdoor or chilled assemblies. The bright RAL 2003 jacket aids visual tracing during maintenance, and the compound is halogen-free to minimize corrosive gas release in the event of fire. Together, these properties complement the dynamic ratings discussed earlier and ensure service life in applications that combine continuous motion, chemical exposure, and variable climate.
