Product Description:

The 8BCM0008.1034C-0 cable belongs to the 8BC ACOPOS Cables series produced by B&R Automation. It is a combined power and signal lead intended to link ACOPOS servo modules with distributed motors and peripheral devices in automated machinery. By integrating multiple conductors in one jacket, the assembly simplifies installation and maintains the consistent electrical characteristics needed for coordinated motion control. This combined layout also reduces the need to route separate cable runs through moving machine sections. It is useful in compact servo installations where cable carrier space is limited and consistent routing is important for moving axes.

The cable core set is arranged as 4x 0.75 mm² + 2x 2x 0.34 mm², meaning four conductors carry the main drive current while two twisted pairs support encoder or I/O signals. At the device end, an 8-pin female series 915 power connector terminates the bundle, so the assembly mates directly with standard ACOPOS output sockets. Mechanical durability is demonstrated by a flex life of ≥5,000,000 cycles, which suits continuously moving cable tracks and other repetitive motion paths. An outer PUR jacket and molded glands achieve a sealing grade of IP66/IP67, preventing dust ingress and protecting internal conductors during washdown. For dielectric strength, the wire-to-wire insulation is rated for a test potential of 4 kV, which helps reduce the risk of breakdown under switching transients.

Electrical performance of the signal paths is supported by an insulation resistance of ≥500 MΩ·km, which helps keep leakage currents low even over extended lengths. When mounted through a cable gland, the power cores can carry up to 13 A, matching the continuous current demand of many mid-frame ACOPOS drive connections. Copper sizing results in a power line resistance of ≤26.7 Ω/km, while the paired control leads have a signal line resistance of ≤56 Ω/km to help preserve voltage integrity for encoder channels. The combined sheath keeps power and feedback conductors in one managed path, which can reduce cable crowding inside compact machine assemblies. These electrical values support stable current delivery and consistent feedback transmission in modular automation equipment.
