Product Description:
The RKG0065 cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for industrial automation systems. This preassembled encoder cable transmits position signals between a motor-mounted feedback device and a drive controller. Its shielded, application-specific conductors help protect low-level feedback signals from electromagnetic interference generated by nearby motor and power cables. Factory-attached connectors also reduce wiring errors and installation time on packaging machines, gantries, and material-handling axes.
The assembly is supplied as a ready-made harness, with conductors that are cut, stripped, and terminated before installation. This preparation limits on-site work to routing the cable and securing its connectors. Internal twisted pairs carry differential encoder signals while controlling impedance and reducing noise coupling between adjacent conductors. The motor end terminates with a molded RGS1781 plug, while the control-cabinet end uses a matching RGS0001 receptacle, eliminating the need for an adapter board. During continuous movement, the cable requires a minimum dynamic bend radius of 7.5 × D, where D represents its outer diameter. Maintaining this radius prevents excessive strain on the copper strands and insulation as the cable moves repeatedly within a drag chain.
For stationary routing inside a cabinet or along a fixed machine section, the cable permits a minimum bend radius of 5 × D. This tighter radius is appropriate when the cable remains fixed and is not exposed to repetitive movement. Its rated service life is 5,000,000 bending cycles, supporting high-duty pick-and-place axes and linear modules that operate for extended periods. The cable has a Basic build level that uses standard PVC jacket and shielding materials rather than specialized chemical-resistant compounds. Proper separation from high-current conductors can further limit electrical interference, while secure clamping prevents connector loads from being transferred to the cable jacket. Fixed sections should remain free of sharp edges, and moving sections should be routed without twisting so the conductors can flex along their intended bending axis.
