Product Description:
The ZK1090-3191-1030 is a pre-assembled motor feedback cable manufactured by Beckhoff for the ZK Motor Cables series. In servo-based machines, the assembly links field-mounted motors to control panels, carrying encoder information over twisted conductors while maintaining electrical integrity across moving energy chains. By providing a standardized plug-and-play path between the motor and the I/O interface, the cable helps reduce wiring errors and simplifies panel setup in industrial automation cells. Its molded connectors, abrasion-resistant jacket, and flexible internal structure are suited for continuous motion tasks found in pick-and-place units, gantry axes, and packaging lines. The assembly is intended for applications where stable signal transmission must be maintained while the cable is repeatedly flexed during machine operation.
At the core of the assembly is a 1 × 4 × 0.34 mm² conductor set, equivalent to AWG22, that helps limit voltage drop on encoder lines. The cable measures 3.00 m, a length suited for cabinet-to-axis runs without excessive slack. Signals follow a Star Quad geometry, which gives each pair similar impedance and helps reduce crosstalk. A tough PUR (polyurethane) jacket resists oil and chain abrasion while allowing tight bends during repeated motion. The M8 A-coded plug carries up to 4 A, so auxiliary sensors can draw power through the same lead without excessive heating at the contact block.
Built for dynamic carriers, the cable withstands 3 million bending cycles at travel speeds of 4 m/s, helping prevent conductor fatigue in high-speed axes. Its connection format is M8 Male to RJ45 Male, allowing the feedback port on the drive side to connect directly to the matching machine interface. The threaded M8 coupling is tightened to 0.4 Nm, which helps maintain a secure fit without deforming the insert. Tinned copper strands with a 7 × 0.25 mm lay, combined with full foil-and-braid shielding, help suppress electromagnetic interference. The head-B rating of 150 V supports the insulation margin needed for differential encoder signals.
