Product Description:

The ZK4500-0015-0040 motor cable is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the ZK Motor Cables series. It serves as the power and feedback link between drives and motors in automated assemblies, and its design supports dynamic routing on machinery so moving axes receive stable current without signal loss. The conductor set of 4 x 4 + 2 x 1 + 2 x 1.5 mm² carries three-phase power, protective earth, and auxiliary sensor lines within a single jacket.

The cable has a length of 4.00 m, giving the assembly a fixed reach for routing through cable chains while limiting voltage drop. A voltage rating of 600/1000 V indicates the permissible continuous and peak service levels for power conductors in standard industrial control cabinets. Mechanical durability is reflected in a cycle life of 5 million flexing strokes, which suits long-term duty on pick-and-place gantries. On the motor side, the M40, 8-pin female connector is protected to IP66/67 and secures with the Speedtec locking ring for quick tool-free assembly. The PUR outer sheath measures 15.5 mm in diameter and resists oils and weld spatter, while the ≥ 85 % braid-and-foil shield limits electromagnetic emission into adjacent feedback lines. Bare copper conductors use thermoplastic elastomer TPM insulation to balance flexibility and thermal stability.

For electrical verification, the assembly withstands a test potential of 4000 V, confirming spacing and insulation strength. During operation, the cable accommodates carrier speeds up to 3 m/s without exceeding its bend radius, so linear transfer units can accelerate aggressively. The control-cabinet side uses a 7.62 mm pitch, while the auxiliary header uses a 3.50 mm pitch for low-voltage contacts, allowing compact terminal blocks. This layout keeps power and low-voltage terminations compact at the cabinet end.
