Product Description:

The 8ECH0015.1312A-0 Motor Cable is produced by B & R Automation with robust protections and a wide operating temperature range. It is well suitable for industrial applications where precision, reliability and high performance are required.

The 8ECH0015.1312A-0 motor cable has an overall thickness of 15.7mm with ±0.4mm tolerance which means its actual diameter may vary slightly during production. It has 300 meters per minute of velocity which makes it suitable for applications where it moves at high speeds, such as in automated systems or cable carriers. It comes with insulation resistance of greater than 200 MΩ*km which means excellent insulation properties and reduces the risk of leakage currents and ensures safety and signal integrity. It can endure at least 3 million bending movements which indicates it is made for dynamic applications like robotics or moving machinery where the cable flexes continuously. It has a total 13 separate electrical paths within the connector which supports multiple signals or power channels within one cable. The signal lines offer 140 ohm resistance over a kilometer which means better conductivity and less voltage drop that is critical for signal quality. The resistance of the conductors used for supplying power is less than 19.5Ω/km which is better for efficient power delivery with minimal voltage loss over distance.

This CM16 Motor Cables series module has a total weight of 5.8 kg. It is able to withstand rapid changes in speed up to 50 m/s² acceleration which is typical for advanced automated systems. The conductors for power transmission resist electric current up to 5 ohms per km which ensures power delivery and minimizes energy loss.
