Product Description:

The RKG0061 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the RKG Encoder Cables series. The assembly is intended for plug-and-play signal linking between motor-mounted encoders and drive controllers, forming a critical pathway for position and velocity data in industrial automation axes. By supplying a factory-terminated solution, the manufacturer removes wiring variability and shortens commissioning time on motion systems.

RKG0061 is provided as a Ready-Made harness, so both ends are factory terminated and tested. The encoder side uses a shielded core arrangement of 4x0.5 mm² + 5x(2x0.14) StC, a layout that separates power lines from differential signal pairs to minimize crosstalk. At the drive cabinet, an RGS1711 circular connector mates directly with standard Rexroth encoder inputs, eliminating adapter pieces. The outer sheath is PUR, offering oil resistance and high abrasion strength, and it tolerates continuous motion with a dynamic bending radius of 7.5xD. Suitability for drag-chain installation is explicitly stated, allowing the cable to follow rapidly moving axes without premature jacket fatigue.

Service life under flexing duty is rated for 5 Million bending cycles, supporting long deployment periods in pick-and-place gantries or palletizers that run 24/7. When laid in a fixed conduit, a minimum static bend of 4xD prevents conductor stress at entry points. Copper insulation withstands continuous conductor temperatures up to 80 °C, covering the thermal rise expected inside sealed machine enclosures. A high-visibility jacket in RAL 2003 (Orange) aids cable tracing during maintenance while still complying with machinery safety colour conventions.
