Product Description:

B & R Automation supplies the 8BCM0015.3034C-0 in its 8BC ACOPOS Cables series. This pre-assembled cord set combines motor power conductors with shielded feedback conductors, so a single run supports both torque generation and position data on ACOPOS servo axes. By integrating the circuits into one molded cable, it shortens installation time and reduces enclosure congestion in automated packaging, assembly, and material-handling cells. It also reduces the number of separate cable runs that must be routed between the drive and the motor.

The electrical core is organized as 4×0.75 mm² + 2×0.34 mm². The four larger conductors deliver three-phase power, while the remaining conductors carry encoder signals. Each conductor uses tinned copper stranded wire, which helps limit corrosion and maintain flexibility during continuous motion. A layer of PP insulation surrounds every conductor to maintain dielectric spacing before the overall shield. At the motor end, the cable terminates in an 8-Pin female Series 915 connector that mates directly with standard ACOPOS motor flanges. The power conductors support up to 9.8 A of continuous current, enabling small-frame servo motors to reach rated torque without thermal overload.

For field durability, the assembly carries an IP66/67 ingress rating once mated, blocking dust and withstanding temporary immersion during washdown cycles. The sheath is colored Orange, similar to RAL 2003, making motion axes easier to trace inside dense cable trays. Beneath the outer color layer, a PVC jacket resists oils, coolants, and torsional stress encountered in articulated robot arms. The sealed interface also helps protect the contact area from moisture and airborne debris during operation. Dielectric integrity is proven by a wire-to-wire withstand test of 4 kV and a separate 3 kV wire-to-shield verification. These values provide insulation margin for the motor phases and the feedback conductors while helping reduce unwanted electrical interference during dynamic load changes.
