Product Description:

The RKG0062 is an encoder cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. It links motor-mounted encoders to the corresponding drive controllers, allowing closed-loop positioning in industrial automation systems. By integrating pre-terminated plugs and a jacket sized for drag-chain travel, this cable streamlines electrical installation on machine tools, palletizers, and pick-and-place axes where continuous motion and electromagnetic cleanliness are required.

The Basic model designation identifies a standard jacket and conductor set suitable for general routing inside an energy chain. A Ready-Made build means all terminations are factory-crimped and tested, so field wiring errors are eliminated. Functionally, the assembly is an Encoder Cable, so its twisted pairs are impedance-matched for differential feedback signals. Drive-side connection is handled by a keyed RGS1781 circular connector, while the motor end uses a compact RGS0010 plug; both housings include strain relief to shield conductors from tension. During constant motion the sheath may flex down to a dynamic radius of 7.5xD, preventing conductor fatigue while still fitting typical cable-carrier dimensions.

Mechanical life is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, giving the RKG0062 a long service interval even on high-duty gantry axes. When the cable is at rest, the static radius can tighten to 5xD without kinking the copper cores. Thermal limits permit operation and storage from -40 °C to 80 °C; insulation remains pliable at the minimum, and conductor resistance stays stable at the maximum. These bending and temperature capabilities, combined with the Basic construction, make the RKG0062 a dependable link between Bosch Rexroth Indramat drives and encoders in dynamic automation cells.
