Product Description:

The ZK4000-2610-2050 is a motor connection cable produced by Beckhoff for the ZK Motor Cables series. It serves as a flexible link between a servo drive and its feedback device, allowing coordinated motion control inside automated machinery. By combining power and feedback conductors in a single run, the cable reduces installation time and helps maintain signal integrity along moving axes. This arrangement also helps simplify cable routing on compact machines that use continuously moving assemblies.

The cable terminates with a 17-pin round to D-sub 15 connector pair, so it mates directly with standard Beckhoff servo amplifiers and encoder ports. Its conductor set is sized at 7 × 2 × 0.14 mm² + 2 × 0.5 mm², balancing low-loss power delivery with separate encoder pairs. A PUR jacket surrounds tinned-copper cores to resist oil and abrasion during continual chain guidance. During rapid machine cycles, the assembly tolerates accelerations up to 30 m/s², and its flex design sustains about 10 million bending cycles before conductor fatigue becomes a concern. The outer diameter is 7.6 mm, which supports a minimum fixed bend radius of 4 × OD and 7 × OD during motion. With 30 V rated insulation, the cores remain within the voltage class used by most incremental encoders, and the plated copper strands help limit oxidation in humid work cells.

High dynamic moves can be executed at speeds up to 4 m/s over strokes reaching 20 m, so gantry or transfer lines can span long travel paths without separate junction boxes. Continuous operation inside energy chains is supported by the cable’s drag-chain suitable construction and an electromagnetic screen that maintains at least 85% shield coverage to protect encoder signals against nearby motor bus noise. The shield also helps maintain stable signal transmission when the cable is routed alongside other moving machine conductors.
