RKG4200

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat RKG4200 encoder cable, part of the Cables And Accessories series, delivers high-integrity data transmission for demanding industrial automation applications. Its primary function is to connect encoders and control systems, ensuring precise feedback and motion control. Key features include dual-core color coding for straightforward installation and maintenance, multiple shielding layers for enhanced signal integrity, and support for data transmission rates of up to 10 Mbps.

Flowing through a flexible TPE compound insulation, the RKG4200 offers detailed technical performance: it maintains an electrical capacitance of < 10 pF/m and an insulation resistance of > 10 Gohms, ensuring minimal signal loss and high noise immunity. Rated for 30 V DC operation and a maximum current capacity of 2 Amp, it reliably powers encoder heads. The cable’s wave resistance of 50 Ohm matches industry standards for high-speed data lines, while its silicone-free, halogen-free, and oil-resistant construction provides chemical resilience and long-term reliability.

Designed to withstand harsh environments, this encoder cable features a protection class of IP68, making it impervious to dust, chemicals, and immersion. Its minimum bending radius of 100 mm and outer diameter of 8.5 mm allow installation in confined spaces without sacrificing signal quality. Available in lengths from 2 to 10 meters, it adapts to a wide range of machine layouts. Compliant with DIN EN 60754, the RKG4200 meets industry standards for low smoke and corrosive gas emissions. In industrial applications, this cable enhances system uptime, simplifies troubleshooting with clear color coding, and provides long-term durability, making it an essential component for reliable motion control and automation systems.
