Product Description:

The RKG4201T005 is an encoder feedback cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKG Encoder Cables series. Designed specifically for servo and spindle axes, the assembly carries incremental or absolute encoder signals from the motor to the drive controller while withstanding high cycle counts that are typical of continuously moving machine elements. By combining flexible conductors with a polyurethane sheath, the product supports energy-chain routing and helps maintain accurate positional data in factory automation cells.

Its flex-rated construction survives up to 5,000,000 bending cycles, allowing continuous operation in cable carriers without premature conductor fatigue. The outer diameter measures 8.5 mm, which fits standard Rexroth strain-relief elements and simplifies cabinet routing. During motion, the cable can follow a dynamic loop with a minimum radius of 7.5 × D, while static routing inside the enclosure may use a tighter 5 × D radius. These limits reduce stress on the copper strands and help preserve signal integrity. A sheath made of PUR provides abrasion resistance, oil tolerance, and cable-carrier compatibility, helping maintain stable electrical characteristics under repetitive mechanical loading.

The assembly is supplied in a length of 5.0 m, which is sufficient to span typical motor-to-drive distances inside medium-sized machines. An RGS1001 molded connector on the encoder end mates with Rexroth motor feedback ports, while the controller side terminates in an RGS1002 plug for direct insertion into Indramat drive cards. The vivid orange jacket aids quick identification in dense harnesses, and the halogen-free formulation minimizes corrosive gas release during a fire. The REG0748 cable core serves as the bulk material and supports bending and torsional stress of ±180 degrees over 30 cm segments. This capability allows the cable to flex and twist simultaneously in dynamic axes without placing excessive strain on its internal conductors.
