Product Description:

The ZK4500-0023-0150 motor cable is produced by Beckhoff within the ZK Motor Cables series. Designed for industrial automation, this molded assembly combines power and encoder leads so that a single flexible run can energize and supervise a synchronous motor from a cabinet-mounted drive. Bare copper conductors are arranged in separate power and signal groups that are over-jacketed to provide electrical separation and mechanical protection, giving the cable the properties needed for continuous-motion axes in handling robots, packaging machines, and material-transfer gantries.

Factory wiring is simplified by the pre-terminated head A connector, an M23 plug with an 8-pin pattern for both power and feedback cores. This interface is rated for 30 A of continuous current and withstands line potentials up to 630 V AC/DC, allowing it to support medium-frame servo motors without separate high-voltage leads. The assembly ships in a fixed length of 15 m, so it can be routed from the drive to the motor without field cutting or re-terminating. A jacket of PUR (Polyurethane) resists oil, weld spatter, and coolant, and it supports tight cable carriers because of its low friction against guide channels. Inside, the 4 x 1.5 mm² power cores and paired 0.75 mm² signal conductors share polypropylene insulation for consistent dielectric strength.

The chain-grade design tolerates accelerations up to 30 m/s² and linear carrier speeds of 4 m/s, so the cable can follow rapidly indexed axes without exceeding bend-fatigue limits. Test data confirms a service life of 10 million double strokes at a maximum travel of 20 m, giving predictable service intervals in high-duty cycles. The assembly also has a weight of 237 kg/km, which helps keep long moving runs manageable while preserving current-carrying capacity.
