Product Description:
The ZK4500-0023-0012 is a pre-assembled motor cable from Beckhoff’s ZK Motor Cables series. Supplied as a ready-to-install harness, it carries drive power and feedback signals between a servomotor and its controller while moving inside drag chains and robotic joints. By combining power conductors, signal pairs, and braided shielding in a single flexible line, the product simplifies cable routing in industrial automation cells that require frequent motion and stable electrical performance. This format also reduces the need for separate cable runs between the motor and drive, which helps keep moving assemblies more compact.
At 1.20 m in length, the cable fits short cabinet or axis runs without excess slack. An M23 circular plug with an 8-pin insert terminates the motor side, coupling three power phases, protective earth, and encoder conductors through one interface. The power cores use a cross-section of 1.50 mm², while the signal pairs use 0.75 mm² conductors for typical servo feedback duties. Rated for 1000 V AC, the assembly is suitable for common drive-system voltages, and an insulation resistance of 10 MΩ·km supports dependable separation between conductors. The PUR jacket resists oil and abrasion, and braided copper shielding with ≥ 85% optical coverage helps limit radiated and conducted electromagnetic noise along the installation path.
The flexible core is designed for dynamic motion and endures up to 10 million bend cycles, peak accelerations of 30 m/s², and a torsion allowance of ±30 °/m without conductor fatigue. Continuous motion is possible at speeds up to 4 m/s over travel distances as long as 20 m, which suits moving axes that cycle repeatedly during production. A moved bend radius of 87 mm reduces stress during tight loops, and an outer diameter of 12.4 mm allows the cable to fit standard energy-chain compartments. These motion characteristics make the cable suitable for pick-and-place units, compact gantries, and other servo-driven equipment that depends on clean signal transmission during constant movement.
