Product Description:

The RKL0010 is a flexible motor power cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKL Motor Power Cables series. It connects a controller cabinet to a synchronous or asynchronous motor in industrial automation systems. The cable supports dynamic routing through drag-chain assemblies while carrying motor power and auxiliary control signals between stationary and moving machine components.

The outer sheath has a diameter of 12.2 mm, giving the cable a compact profile that fits standard energy-chain clamps. The power conductor arrangement is 4 × 1.5 mm², providing three conductors for three-phase current and one conductor for protective grounding. Two shielded control pairs use a 2 × (2 × 0.75 mm²) StC arrangement to support temperature sensors or holding-brake release lines. During motion, the jacket can bend to a minimum dynamic radius of 7.5 × D without placing excessive stress on the conductors. A permanently installed cable can use a minimum static bend radius of 5 × D. The halogen-free jacket minimizes corrosive gas emissions during a fire, while the polymer insulation remains serviceable at ambient temperatures up to +40 °C. In flexible applications, the wire insulation supports a maximum core temperature of 80 °C, maintaining dielectric strength under heat generated by drive operation.

The cable is rated for 5,000,000 flex cycles when installed according to the applicable minimum bend radius. Factory-installed connectors simplify installation and provide keyed interfaces that help prevent incorrect phase connections. The motor end terminates with an RLS1201 bayonet connector, while the drive end uses an RLS0722 plug. The conductors retain their flexibility at temperatures down to -20 °C, allowing operation in unheated production areas. Its compact diameter and resistance to repeated movement support routing in machine tools, packaging equipment, material-handling systems, and other automated machinery with restricted cable space.
