Product Description:
The ZK4500-0023-0060 motor cable is manufactured by Beckhoff for the ZK Motor Cables series and is installed between a drive controller and a moving servo motor in automated machinery. Its composite core carries three functional groups—power, brake, and signal—so a single routed line can energize the motor, actuate the brake, and return encoder information. Bare-copper conductors are bundled inside a pressure-extruded PUR sheath that resists oil and abrasion, allowing continuous operation inside cable carriers found on gantries, pick-and-place units, and articulated robot axes.
The power cores use a cross-section of 1.50 mm², while the dedicated brake pair is dimensioned at 0.75 mm²; both sizes accommodate the current required by midsize synchronous servomotors. Maximum system voltage is rated at 1000 V AC, and dielectric integrity is verified by a test potential of 4000 V applied conductor to conductor. A braided copper screen encircles all bundles with a coverage of ≥ 85%, which limits electromagnetic emission and improves signal quality. Insulation resistance is 10 MΩ·km at 20 °C, which helps minimize leakage current, and the outer diameter is 12.4 mm ± 0.3 mm. The signal pair is unshielded individually, shares the common drain path provided by the overall screen, and retains flexibility because fine-stranded bare copper is used throughout.
The factory-terminated length of 6.00 m suits typical axis spacing in modular machines, and the cable withstands 10 million continuous-flex cycles in an e-chain without conductor fatigue. During dynamic moves it tolerates accelerations up to 30 m/s², operates at carrier speeds of 4 m/s, and supports travel distances up to 20 m without exceeding permissible voltage drop. For rotary motion, the design endures torsional loading of ± 30 °/m, so it can be routed through robot joints while maintaining jacket integrity.
