Product Description:

Beckhoff manufactures the ZK2020-3100-0030 as part of the ZK Motor Cables series. The assembly is a four-pin, male A-coded supply lead that links compact servo drives to matching motors in automated machinery. By combining an M8 plug on one end with open conductors on the opposite side, the cable supports quick field wiring while keeping panel terminations adaptable. In motion applications, it routes drive current, auxiliary voltage, and protective earth through a unified jacket, reducing cabinet complexity and maintaining reliable electrical continuity during repeated machine cycles.

The cable length of 3.00 m provides reach for standard machine bays without adding excess capacitance. Each conductor uses a cross-section of 4 x 0.34 mm² (AWG22), balancing voltage drop with flexibility for motion axes. The interface uses an M8 installation size with A coding, so the plug mates with common sensor and actuator ports while preserving keyed polarity. A wear-resistant PUR (polyurethane) jacket protects the bundle from oils and weld spatter and allows continuous chain travel. During operation, the cord may experience linear accelerations up to 10 m/s² and carrier speeds of 5 m/s in high-cycle pick-and-place systems. The outer diameter measures 4.7 mm ±0.15 mm, and dynamic routing can be performed with a minimum bend radius of six times that diameter.

Electrically, the assembly carries up to 4 A at 40°C across all four cores, making it suitable for low-power servomotors and brake circuits. Insulation withstands system potentials of 50 V AC/60 V DC, so the lead integrates with 48 V drive architectures without additional isolation. When securing the threaded coupling, apply 0.4 Nm of torque to the knurled union so the required seal is achieved without overtightening. Gold-plated contacts help limit insertion loss, and strain relief molded into the plug body reduces conductor fatigue during repetitive motion.
