IKG4186
The IKG4186 accessory, manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and part of the Cables And Accessories series, delivers a robust solution for demanding industrial automation environments. Featuring a durable Material: Stainless Steel construction with Surface Treatment: Hot Dipped Galvanized finish, this accessory ensures exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The stainless steel weave spans a Length: 2000 mm by Width: 1000 mm footprint and stands Height: 38 mm tall, providing substantial coverage while maintaining a compact profile. With a fine Mesh Pitch: 33 mm x 99 mm and Bar Thickness: 4 mm, the IKG4186 balances protective rigidity with necessary flexibility for integration into e-chain systems. Certified with a Slip Resistance Class: R13, this component promotes safe handling during installation and maintenance operations, ensuring secure footing on inclined surfaces.
Performance characteristics of the IKG4186 are optimized for high-speed motion applications, supporting a maximum unsupported speed of 10 m/s and gliding applications up to 5 m/s. The system withstands accelerations up to 80 m/s² and unsupported travel distances up to 100 m, with a minimum bend radius of 198.75 mm (7.5× cable diameter) to prevent fatigue. The welded plain-edge design (Edge Type: Plain (Un-serrated)) coupled with the galvanized finish ensures low friction and prolonged service life under cyclic loading. The mesh accessory weighs Weight: 25.4 kg/m² and integrates seamlessly with standard power cables rated 600/1000 V per DIN VDE 0298-3. Although lacking torsion capabilities, its open weave structure facilitates efficient air flow and heat dissipation, preserving the integrity of enclosed conductors. The mesh design also allows rapid connection configurations by accommodating round plug/socket connectors and supports dynamic routing of control and power cores.
In terms of reliability, the IKG4186 exemplifies consistent performance under extreme conditions. The stainless steel matrix complies with DIN EN 60228 standards for bend-resistant copper conductor support, safeguarding conductor insulation and maintaining nominal voltage rating of 600/1000 V. It has been tested to withstand overvoltage peaks up to 4000 V (per DIN EN 50395), affirming insulation integrity in high-voltage industrial installations. Integration into existing e-chain assemblies is straightforward, with standard mounting interfaces for quick attachment and customization. The accessory’s robust construction and high wear resistance make it ideal for applications in factory automation, robotic systems, conveyor assemblies, and other environments where mechanical protection and cable management are critical.
