Product Description:

The RKH0901 is a factory-terminated hybrid cable produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKH Hybrid Cables series. By merging power, signal, and feedback cores inside one sheath, the cable simplifies point-to-point wiring between servo drives and moving axes in industrial automation systems, reducing panel space and installation time while keeping electrical noise low.

This cable is supplied in a Ready-Made configuration, meaning all conductors are pre-crimped and tested at the factory. It carries both energy and data because it follows the Hybrid Cable variant, avoiding separate motor and encoder runs. A molded RHS2321 connector is fitted at the drive end, and a matching RHS0011 connector terminates the motor side, so field assembly is unnecessary. During motion, the jacket can flex down to a dynamic bending radius of 10xD, allowing routing through energy chains without exceeding conductor strain limits. The design is identified as the Basic model, which uses standard copper cores and PVC insulation suited for general-purpose machine builds. Operating temperatures can range from −40 °C to 80 °C, so the cable supports cold-start machines and high-temperature enclosures.

Mechanical endurance is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, which supports continuous 3-shift duty on high-speed gantries or pick-and-place units. Stationary segments may be looped at a static bending radius of 5xD, preventing micro-cracks that could compromise shielding integrity. Thermal stability matches the operating limits, with storage temperatures from −40 °C up to 80 °C, meaning warehouse conditions do not degrade the insulation. The lower operating limit of -40 °C ensures that cable flexibility is maintained in unheated facilities, while identical storage and operating maxima simplify inventory management.
