Product Description:

The 8ECH0020.1312A-0 cable is produced by B&R Automation for the ACOPOS P3 Cables series. It serves as a single hybrid link between an ACOPOS P3 servo drive and its matched motor, carrying three-phase power, encoder signals, and auxiliary voltage in one shielded line. By combining these functions, it reduces cabinet wiring and supports faster changeovers in packaging, robotics, and material-handling systems.

The power cores are rated for a continuous load of 30 A, giving the cable the current capacity needed for demanding servo operation. Inside drag-chain carriers, the assembly tolerates accelerations up to 50 m/s², which helps it withstand repeated motion in fast automation cells. It also supports travel velocities of 300 m/min, allowing quick axis movement without sacrificing cable stability. Its conductor mix of 4x4 + 2x1 + 2x0.30 + 4x0.15 mm² separates power, feedback, and control circuits, while insulation tested to 4 kV helps maintain electrical isolation on compact machines.

Durability is supported by a service life of ≥3,000,000 flex cycles, which suits continuous motion in round-the-clock production. When the Speedtec hybrid motor plug is fully mated, the connection reaches IP66/67 protection to resist oils and wash-down exposure. A PUR outer jacket adds resistance to abrasion and weld spatter in harsh industrial areas. The integrated 13-pin female Speedtec hybrid motor connector locks with a quarter turn, shortening change times and helping the connection stay secure during repeated machine movement.
