The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RKG0068 is part of the RKG Encoder Cables series, featuring a PUR outer jacket in orange and support for drag chain applications. It uses an RGS1001 connector with 10 crimp sockets on one end and an RGS0725 connector on the other. The cable offers 5,000,000 bending cycles and operates in temperatures from -20 to 80 degrees Celsius.

Product Description:
The RKG0068 is an encoder cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. It serves as the flexible link that transfers incremental or absolute position signals between a motor encoder and a drive controller, even while the machine axis is in constant motion. By combining a rugged jacket with precise, series-specific connectors, the cable supports fast commissioning inside packaging lines, pick-and-place robots, and other applications that depend on uninterrupted feedback.
The cable is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, a figure that indicates how many reciprocating movements it can endure in an energy chain before mechanical fatigue becomes critical. At the motor side it terminates in an RGS1001 plug, while the control-cabinet end carries an RGS0725 plug; both shells use crimp-socket contacts to maintain low contact resistance. For moving installations the manufacturer specifies a dynamic bending radius of 7.5xD, ensuring the conductors are not overstressed when the cable flexes repeatedly. In static routing situations, the permitted bend tightens to 4xD, reflecting the lower mechanical strain when the cable is secured in place.
The operating envelope spans from -20 °C to 80 °C, allowing the assembly to function in chilled halls as well as warm control rooms without signal drift. A highly abrasion-resistant PUR outer jacket, molded in Orange (RAL 2003), resists cutting oils and weld spatter while preserving visibility during maintenance. Ten contacts inside the encoder plug accommodate differential signals and auxiliary supply lines, and the cable is approved for drag-chain use so that continuous motion does not compromise data integrity or shielding effectiveness.
Wake Industrial stocks this cable, can arrange same-day shipping for time-critical orders, and backs each purchase with a 1-year warranty while quotations remain firm for 30 days.
