Product Description:
The ZK1090-6161-0050 is a flexible motor cable manufactured by Beckhoff for the ZK Motor Cables series. Intended for moving-machine installations, this product links a servomotor to a drive controller so that power and signal pairs remain synchronized during continuous motion. Its design serves industrial automation tasks that require reliable energy transmission through drag chains, gantry axes, and other dynamic routing paths. Because the cable is built for continuous flexing, it helps maintain stable electrical continuity where repeated motion would quickly fatigue stiffer wiring.
The cable core follows a star quad arrangement that groups four identically twisted conductors to minimize crosstalk between power and feedback channels. The conductors have a cross-section of 1 x 4 x 0.34 mm² (AWG22) and are built from a 7 × 0.25 mm strand set, a geometry that balances flexibility with current-carrying capacity. Surrounding the cores, an aluminum-clad foil and tinned copper braid shield attenuate electromagnetic interference that could disturb encoder signals. The outer jacket is molded from PUR, giving abrasion resistance and tolerance to cutting oils commonly found on machine tools. Electrically, the assembly supports up to 160 V phase-to-phase and a continuous load of 4 A, matching the requirements of compact servodrives used on handling axes.
A factory-installed M12 plug, straight, male, 4-pin, D-coded terminates one end and secures to the mating receptacle with a recommended tightening torque of 0.6 Nm, while the opposite end is left open for cabinet wiring. The open end allows the cable to pass through cabinet entries before final termination at the drive side. The sealed coupling threads and molded backshell support IP65/67 protection, so dust and water exposure do not compromise normal operation. The circular profile measures 6.5 mm ± 0.2 mm, enabling tight bending radii while still withstanding a maximum chain acceleration of 4 m/s², three million flex cycles, and 4.5 m travel lengths. Supplied in a total length of 5.00 m, the cable endures at least 100 mechanical mating cycles without signal loss.
