Product Description:
The ZK1090-6161-0100 motor cable is produced by Beckhoff as part of the ZK Motor Cables series. This pre-assembled cable links drive controllers to servomotors in automated machinery and delivers stable power while protecting noise-sensitive feedback conductors. Its tinned copper conductors, flexible insulation system, and polyurethane outer jacket support continuous motion in cable chains without reducing electrical performance in industrial environments. Because power and signal paths are combined in one moving assembly, the cable is well suited for compact axes where routing space is limited.
The cable is supplied in a fixed length of 10.00 m, giving enough reach for moderate-sized gantries or multi-axis cells. Each conductor set uses a 1 x 4 x 0.34 mm² (AWG22) star-quad layout that helps reduce crosstalk between adjacent conductors during operation. The assembly can carry up to 4 A at 40 °C, which suits low-power servo axes and auxiliary actuators. Its insulation system withstands a continuous line potential of 160 V and short-duration surges up to 2.5 kV, helping protect connected electronics against switching transients. The PUR jacket resists cutting oils and abrasion, while full-coverage foil and braid shielding lower electromagnetic emission in demanding machine environments. An M12 male straight, 4-pin, D-coded plug is molded to one end, so installation only requires mating the connector and tightening the locking nut.
For dynamic cable-track motion, the maximum running speed is 4 m/s and the allowed acceleration peak is 4 m/s². Travel distance may reach 4.5 m per stroke, and the design endures a service life of 3 million bending cycles when operated within those limits. These motion values are important for reciprocating axes, where repeated bending near guide points can shorten cable life if the chain moves faster or accelerates harder than intended. During installation, the metal coupling nut is secured with 0.6 Nm of torque to maintain the seal without deforming the connector housing.
