Product Description:
The RKG0066 encoder cable is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKG Encoder Cables series. It provides the feedback pathway between motor-mounted sensors and Rexroth drive electronics, relaying differential position or speed signals required for closed-loop motion control. By arriving as a finished assembly, the cable shortens commissioning time and minimizes wiring errors in pick-and-place robots, linear modules, and other automated axes that must withstand continual flexing.
Mechanical endurance is defined by a flex life of 2,000,000 bending cycles, making the cable suitable for drag-chain installations. During motion, conductors must not exceed a dynamic bend radius of 10xD; when the machine is at rest, the static limit tightens to 6xD, preventing sheath fatigue. The exits of the two angled connectors are arranged at 2x 45°, a layout that aligns harnesses with side-mounted controller ports and motor junction boxes. Signal integrity is further protected by the shield continuity afforded by the Metallic (Shielded) connector housings. These attributes are incorporated in the Basic cable model, which uses stranded conductors and insulation selected for repetitive motion while maintaining encoder line impedance.
Thermal allowances span from -30 °C up to 80 °C during both operation and storage, enabling deployment in un-heated warehouses or heated control cabinets without material degradation. The drive-end interface is a D-Sub 15 (Socket) with solder contacts, while the motor-side plug is a D-Sub 15 (Pin) that uses crimp contacts to resist vibration. Combined with the shield termination, this pair preserves low-noise transmission over the entire cable length, completing the specification profile without additional adapters.
