Product Description:

The ZK2000-6162-0010 belongs to the ZK Motor Cables series produced by Beckhoff. It is a pre-assembled motor lead that links motors and compact actuators to servo drives through a matched M12 interface, streamlining installation in automated machinery and reducing the need for field termination. Within an industrial cabinet or on moving axes, the cable carries both power and sensor signals while its PUR jacket shields the conductors from oils and abrasion common on factory floors, including packaging, handling, and light assembly equipment.

This model supports a continuous line voltage of 250 V with a maximum load current of 4 A, making it suitable for small-frame motors and actuators. Low connector losses are maintained by a contact resistance of <10 mΩ, and the M12 plug-to-socket pair is A-coded for reliable pin assignment in multi-cable bundles. The housing uses a straight connector orientation, and the interface carries a 4-pin layout that matches the internal conductor set. Overall cable drag is minimized by an outer diameter of 4.7 mm, and the assembled length of 1.00 m supports short point-to-point routing in compact equipment. The metal coupling thread uses a 0.6 Nm seating torque to help preserve sealing and vibration resistance at the connection.

The conductor pack is dimensioned at 4 x 0.34 mm², providing a balance between flexibility and ampacity for stepper and compact servo applications. Surge events are tolerated up to a rated impulse withstand of 1.5 kV, and dielectric strength is rated at ≥3000 V. Insulation resistance remains ≥100 MΩ even under elevated humidity, reflecting the performance of the PUR jacket and internal cores. These values support reliable electrical separation between conductors when the cable is routed near moving machine elements and other powered wiring.
