Product Description:
The RKG0060 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted measuring systems to Rexroth drives so that position data moves without delay or signal degradation during axis travel. A factory-installed RGS1711 circular plug terminates the motor side, eliminating field crimping and maintaining shield continuity when the cable is routed through high-motion energy chains in industrial robotics, pick-and-place stages, or gantry axes.
The core bundle uses a 4 × 0.5 mm² + 5 × (2 × 0.14) StC conductor layout, separating power conductors from differential signal pairs to limit crosstalk. The cable has an overall diameter of 10.0 mm, allowing multiple runs to fit through compact drag-chain cavities. A durable PUR outer jacket protects the braid against abrasion while remaining flexible at a dynamic bend radius of 7.5 × D. The cable has a rated mechanical life of 5,000,000 bending cycles, allowing continuous reciprocation in production equipment that operates around the clock. Its drag-chain design maintains torsional stability and longitudinal guidance when the cable is pulled, pushed, and routed through tight bends.
The insulation system is halogen-free, reducing corrosive gas formation during a fire and supporting installation in areas with strict safety requirements. When the machine is stationary, the cable may rest in a fixed loop with a static bend radius of 4 × D. The copper conductors withstand temperatures up to 80 °C without embrittlement, allowing the cable to tolerate thermal cycling near servo motors. The jacket resists continuous exposure to cutting fluids and hydraulic oils in accordance with EN 60811-2-1 and EN 50363-10-2. Its bright orange RAL 2003 jacket improves visual tracing inside troughs and panels without affecting the cable’s electrical or chemical properties.
