RKH0610 by Bosch Rexroth Indramat

The RKH0610 cable assembly is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RKH Hybrid Cables series. It serves as a hybrid link that carries drive power and feedback signals between motion controllers and servo axes, so one routed cable can replace multiple separate lines in automation equipment. By combining power and data conductors in one assembly, the cable helps reduce routing complexity in cable chains and saves space in robotic cells, packaging systems, and other moving-axis machines. This layout is useful on axes where repeated travel, tight routing paths, or limited cabinet space make separate power and feedback cables less practical.

In continuous flexing applications, the cable is rated for 5,000,000 bending cycles, which indicates long drag-chain service life under repeated motion. Both ends use the RHS0016 circular connector, so the drive and motor share the same interface style. During motion, the cable supports a dynamic bending radius of 10 × D, while fixed installation requires a minimum radius of 5 × D to avoid sharp bends. The conductors are built on the REH0800 raw cable family, which supports abrasion resistance and stable electrical performance. As a hybrid cable, it carries motor phases and feedback pairs within a single sheath.

The cable is suitable for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to 80 °C during operation, allowing use in cold production areas as well as warm enclosures. The same range applies during storage, so the assembly can be kept on a spool without special climate control. Its cable design is Basic, which means the shield, jacket thickness, and conductor pair layout follow the standard configuration used for general motion-axis service in this family. This standard design suits applications that need combined power and feedback transmission without the added bulk of separate cable runs.
