Product Description:
The RKL4597 is a preassembled motor power cable manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and supplied under the RKL Motor Power Cables series. It carries motor power together with brake and sensor signals from a drive module to a servomotor that moves along linear guides or robotic axes. By combining power and control conductors inside a single flexible jacket, the cable simplifies routing and helps preserve signal integrity in dynamic industrial automation cells. It is commonly installed in packaging, material-handling, and CNC machinery to connect moving loads. The preassembled design also reduces the number of separate cable runs required between the drive and motor.
The bulk cable type is coded INK0606, which identifies the conductor layout and insulation class used by the manufacturer. The conductor set has a 4 × 16.0 mm² power-core layout that supports the current requirements of medium-frame synchronous motors. Two twisted-pair control circuits use a 2 × (2 × 1.5 mm²) layout to transmit temperature or brake signals without separate harnesses. A nominal outer diameter of 25.5 mm establishes the required gland size and drag-chain spacing. The high-visibility orange (RAL 2003) sheath makes motor cable routes easier to trace in crowded panels. The outer jacket is molded from PUR, a thermoplastic polyurethane that withstands abrasion and cutting during continuous operation.
In static trays, the cable may be bent to a minimum radius of 5 × D, while dynamic movement requires a minimum radius of 7.5 × D to reduce conductor fatigue. The cable can operate at temperatures up to +80 °C, allowing installation near motors and braking resistors. Its jacket has a matte, low-adhesion surface that helps prevent chips and oil mist from sticking during machine operation. The halogen-free material reduces the release of corrosive gases during a fire. Hydrolysis resistance protects the jacket from deterioration caused by prolonged exposure to moisture, while resistance to mineral oil supports use around lubricated machinery. A total braided shield surrounds all conductors to limit electromagnetic interference with nearby signal wiring. The flexible construction supports repeated bending in drag-chain paths used by continuously moving industrial axes.
