Product Description:
The RKG0060 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKG Encoder Cables series. Intended for high-resolution feedback lines, the assembly links motor-mounted encoders to drive controllers while enduring constant motion in drag-chain installations. Its construction targets reliable signal integrity and long service life in demanding automated machinery.
It is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, meaning the conductors can be flexed that many times before fatigue limits are reached, a key figure for pick-and-place axes with short strokes. The core bundle follows the 4x0.5 mm² + 5x(2x0.14) StC layout, combining power pairs and shielded twisted data lines to minimise crosstalk. Under motion the cable may curve to a minimum of 7.5xD, so a track width of roughly 75 mm is sufficient when the 10 mm jacket diameter is observed. A tough PUR outer sheath resists abrasion and coolant ingress, and compliance with EN 60811-2-1; EN 50363-10-2 confirms the compound retains flexibility in oily environments.
Additional materials and dimensional features support harsh-duty use. The insulation is Halogen-Free, reducing corrosive gas emission during a fire and meeting factory safety standards. Visual identification is simple because the jacket is Orange (RAL 2003), matching Rexroth color coding for encoder leads. Copper conductors operate continuously up to 80 °C, allowing integration near motors without separate thermal shielding, and the overall diameter of 10.0 mm balances mechanical robustness with routing ease. For stationary wiring the cable can be laid to a static radius of 4xD while the prefitted RGS1711 plug ensures quick connection.
