Product Description:
The ZK4500-0023-0180 is a flexible motor power and feedback cable built by Beckhoff within the ZK Motor Cables series. Intended for dynamic routing between servo drives and moving axes, it carries three-phase supply conductors alongside control pairs while remaining pliable inside drag-chain guides used throughout automated packaging, material-handling, and machining cells. Its construction supports continuous motion without signal degradation, matching the electrical integrity and mechanical endurance required in multi-axis production lines. This arrangement allows one cable assembly to handle both motor power and auxiliary signal paths in applications where repeated movement is part of normal operation.
In standard configuration, this cable is supplied in a length of 18.00 m, allowing controller cabinets to be positioned away from moving equipment without added splices. The conductor package follows the layout 4 × 1.5 mm² + 2 × (2 × 0.75 mm²), so four 1.5 mm² conductors and two 0.75 mm² twisted pairs share one sheath. A polyurethane jacket surrounds the bundle and provides good abrasion resistance during repeated travel in cable carriers. With an outside diameter of 12.4 mm, the cable fits common drag-chain separators and maintains an insulation resistance of 10 MΩ·km. An overall braid-and-foil screen rated at ≥ 85 % coverage helps reduce conducted and radiated noise. The assembly withstands continuous operation at 1000 V AC, which gives a wide electrical margin for typical servo-system use.
The cable is suited for motion-intensive service with a permissible chain acceleration of 30 m/s² and a traverse velocity up to 4 m/s. It survives 10 million bending cycles over travel paths as long as 20 m, which supports long-duty operation on transfer axes and gantry systems. Electrical insulation is verified by a wire-to-wire test potential of 4000 V, helping protect the drive system from transient faults. Low loop resistance supports efficient power transfer over the full cable run, while the flexible jacket and shield structure help preserve stable signal transmission during repeated bending.
