Product Description:

The RKL4518 is a preassembled motor power cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKL Motor Power Cables series. It serves as the electrical link between a Rexroth drive controller and the motor terminal box, carrying main phase conductors and auxiliary control pairs through continuous-motion paths found in automated handling systems and gantries. Factory-crimped contacts and a molded backshell match the required terminal box size, allowing rapid cabinet-to-motor installation and reducing wiring errors in industrial automation cells.

This model endures 5,000,000 flex cycles when routed in a drag chain, and it maintains insulation integrity with a minimum dynamic bend radius of 7.5 × D. The overall outside diameter is 29.8 mm, which supports tray-fill calculations and gland selection. The cable has a characteristic capacitance of 1.1 nF/m, limiting charging current so drives can meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements over long runs. Its conductor DC resistance of 0.78 Ω/km minimizes resistive losses during high-current acceleration sequences. Three power cores each have a cross-sectional area of 25.0 mm², supporting typical servo outputs without excessive voltage drop along the cable.

A separate shielded pair with a 1.5 mm² cross-sectional area supplies brake or temperature signals, giving the assembly combined power and control capability within one jacket. The jacket is made from PUR, which provides abrasion resistance and coolant tolerance, and it is extruded in the high-visibility RAL 2003 orange color for quick identification inside machine frames. The assembly uses INK0607 bulk cable, connects to a size 4 motor terminal box, and connects to the drive through an RLS0723/K25 connection set. Its drag-chain compatibility allows the cable to flex repeatedly along moving axes while carrying motor power and auxiliary signals.
