The ZK Motor Cables series is a Beckhoff connection-cable family for motion and drive systems, covering resolver feedback cabling, Industrial Ethernet/EtherCAT communication links, and hybrid One Cable Automation connections that combine power and data in a single interface.
Across the range, the series includes shielded cable constructions with PUR jackets, versions for fixed installation and dynamic use, and designs rated for demanding industrial environments with features such as drag-chain suitability, oil resistance, and defined bending and temperature limits. Connector formats in the series include M23, D-sub, RJ45, and the Beckhoff ECP/ENP connector families, with mechanically coded variants and bayonet or screw-style locking depending on the application. The One Cable Automation portion of the range is scalable from low-voltage 24 V connections up to high-power interfaces rated as high as 850 V DC and 72 A, while also integrating a Cat.5-capable Ethernet element with continuous shielding. Taken together, the series is built to support reliable motor feedback, network communication, and combined power-and-data connection in Beckhoff automation systems ranging from cabinet installations to moving machine axes.
