Product Description:
The RKG0055 belongs to the RKG Encoder Cables series produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat. It is a pre-assembled encoder lead that transfers differential position signals between a servo motor feedback device and the associated drive controller on automated machinery. By uniting factory-terminated plugs with a flexible industrial jacket, the cable accelerates installation and preserves signal integrity in moving machine axes.
Mechanically, the cable is engineered for 5,000,000 continuous flexing cycles and remains qualified for drag-chain routing where lateral torsion is common. During motion its conductors may bend to a minimum dynamic radius of 7.5xD, a limit that avoids copper fatigue while allowing tight carrier layouts. Because the assembly is supplied as a Ready-Made harness, field crimping errors are eliminated. As an Encoder Cable, impedance and shielding are matched to Bosch Rexroth feedback transceivers, keeping differential-pair distortion low. The outer sheath is moulded from PUR, providing abrasion resistance, oil tolerance, and an orange RAL 2003 colour that aids identification; the compound is halogen-free and silicone-free to support clean-room or paint-shop environments.
Electrical interfaces are standardized; one end carries an RGS1711 plug for direct connection to motor encoders, while the opposite side terminates in an RGS0008 socket that mates with Indramat drive controllers. When the axis is parked, the cable may rest at a static radius of 4xD without exceeding strain limitations, and its insulation system tolerates conductor temperatures up to 80 °C during continuous duty. Oil resistance helps preserve dielectric strength in lubricated energy chains, and certified drag-chain approval confirms reliable service even under simultaneous torsion and acceleration.
Wake Industrial offers a 1-year warranty on each RKG0055 purchase. Same-day shipping is available when production schedules demand immediate dispatch. Quotations remain valid for 30 days, allowing maintenance teams to plan expenditures with confidence.
