Product Description:
The ZK4500-8023-0040 is a motor supply and feedback cable produced by Beckhoff within the ZK Motor Cables series. It links a servo drive to its corresponding motor and encoder. It carries phase power, protective earth, and control signals in a single assembly suited for dynamic machine axes in industrial automation. By combining these paths in one cable, it helps keep moving-axis wiring compact and organized.
The cable’s mixed-size conductor bundle of 4 x 1.5 mm² + 2 x 0.75 mm² + 2 x AWG22 enables simultaneous transmission of motor current, brake power, and differential encoder channels. Using bare copper strands keeps electrical resistance low for accurate torque control and fast feedback. A fixed factory length of 4.00 m fits short-stroke gantries and compact handling modules, minimizing excess slack inside drag-chain guides. During motion, the polyurethane jacket withstands a peak tensile stress of 20 N/mm², so the conductors remain intact when cable carriers accelerate rapidly. Mechanical tests certify the product for 5 million bending cycles, which suits high-duty pick-and-place equipment that runs continuous shifts. With a travel velocity limit of 4 m/s, the assembly supports quick positioning without signal interruption.
Dynamic routing is possible because the moving bend radius only has to reach 7 x OD, allowing tight loops in compact enclosures. A tinned-copper braid delivers electromagnetic coverage of ≥ 85%, which helps suppress motor PWM noise so encoder signals on the same cable remain stable. The outer sheathing is molded from TPU, giving the cable abrasion resistance and oil compatibility in machine-tool coolant areas. The motor side uses a molded M23 plug with 3 power plus PE contacts and five signal pins. The drive side uses a 7.62 mm pitch terminal block for direct cabinet wiring.
