Product Description:

The RKL4506 is a power cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the RKL Motor Power Cables series. It links servo drives to synchronous motors in industrial automation, carrying both three-phase supply energy and low-level control signals in one composite line. By combining motor and feedback wiring in a single jacket, the cable reduces panel space and simplifies routing inside moving cable chains.

The conductors are produced from bulk cable type INK0603 and the finished assembly has a diameter of 17.0 mm, a dimension that determines the size of clamps or drag-chain channels. Copper resistance is rated at 4.95 Ohm/km at 20 °C, allowing length calculations so voltage drop stays within drive tolerances. Separate logic pairs inside the bundle provide cross-sections of 1.0 mm² for cores 5 and 6 and 1.5 mm² for cores 7 and 8, so the analogue and digital feedback lines meet drive current requirements without oversizing. A discharge capacity of 0.8 nF/m limits reactive load on the inverter’s output stage, helping to maintain waveform quality at high switching frequencies. Power is delivered through a 3 + PE (GNYE) arrangement, with each phase built on a 4.0 mm² cross-section to match the thermal rating of typical 6 A to 10 A servo axes. The cable terminates to the controller with an RLS0722/K04 connector and to the motor with an RLK0004 plug, ensuring keyed mating that prevents phase inversion.

Mechanical durability is provided by a PUR outer jacket that resists oils and continuous flexing in automated handling systems. For fixed routing the minimum bend radius is 5 x D, while dynamic applications must observe a tighter limit of 7.5 x D during reciprocating motion; these clearances stop conductor migration and extend service life when the cable cycles thousands of times per shift.
