Product Description:

The 8BCM0013.1034C-0 is a pre-assembled motor and sensor cable supplied by B&R Automation within the 8BC ACOPOS Cables series. Intended for servo drive chains, the cable carries both power and feedback signals between ACOPOS inverters and connected motors. By combining unshielded power cores and paired signal conductors in one jacket, it simplifies installation in industrial automation lines where space must be used efficiently. This combined layout also reduces the number of separate cable runs between the drive and motor, which helps keep routing simpler inside compact machine frames.

The cable is supplied at a length of 13 m, allowing controller cabinets to sit away from moving axes. Its composite cross section of 4x0.75 mm² + 2x2x0.34 mm² uses four 0.75 mm² conductors for power and two twisted pairs of 0.34 mm² conductors for feedback. The cable has a diameter of 10.1 mm, which helps keep bend forces low during routing. It also supports a wall-mounted current rating of 13 A. Insulation is verified at 4 kV, providing strong dielectric separation between conductors. The stranded tinned-copper conductors improve flexibility, and polypropylene insulation helps the cable maintain its shape during thermal cycling. Four power conductors are included, there is no power shield, and four signal cores complete the encoder connection.

The sealing system carries a rating of IP66/67, so the assembly resists dust ingress and high-pressure washdown at machine fronts. Connection on the drive side is handled by a female 8-pin Series 915 connector that matches the ACOPOS pinout. The outer sheath is made of PUR, giving the cable abrasion resistance, cut protection, and compatibility with cooling lubricants. Even with the molded connector, the harness weighs only 1.16 kg, which helps limit added mass in cable carriers on moving axes. Internally, two balanced pairs complete the four-core signal set, while the four unshielded power cores deliver current to the motor without adding unnecessary bulk.
