Product Description:
The RKG4201T001 encoder cable is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKG Encoder Cables series. It serves as the flexible feedback link between motor-mounted encoders and drive controllers, transmitting position data while withstanding continuous motion in automated handling systems. Designed for installation in cable chains and robot axes, the assembly integrates pre-moulded connectors to simplify field replacement and ensure signal integrity under industrial noise conditions.
Mechanically, the assembly survives 5,000,000 flex cycles, a rating suited to high-duty cable tracks. It is built from the INK0448 bulk cable whose PUR outer jacket measures 8.8 mm in diameter. The conductor core follows a 4x2x0.25 mm² + 2x0.5 mm² layout that separates differential signal pairs from power leads. An over-braided total shield blocks electromagnetic interference, and the first end is terminated with the circular encoder plug RGS1001/C01. The jacket colour is RAL 2003 orange, and the matte surface resists adhesion of oils and weld spatter.
At the opposite end the harness carries the mating receptacle RGS1002/C01. The signal conductors present a loop resistance of 83.0 Ω/km, limiting voltage drop over long runs, while the supply cores are rated for 300 V allowing common encoder auxiliary voltages. Dynamic routing is possible down to a bend of 7.5 x D, and static installation can go to 5 × D without sheath damage. The 0.25 mm² control wires balance weight against current capacity, and PUR insulation preserves flexibility in temperatures typically found inside machines. Total shielding works with the low resistance to minimize reflection errors, completing the specification profile introduced above.
