Product Description:
The ZK4500-8023-0050 is a hybrid motor power and feedback cable supplied by Beckhoff within the ZK Motor Cables series. By combining motor power, protective earth, and feedback conductors in one assembly, it connects servo drives to field-mounted motors while maintaining shielding and controlled signal transmission. Industrial automation systems use this cable to deliver power, return brake signals, and exchange encoder data between moving axes and the control cabinet. Using one jacket instead of separate motor and feedback leads also helps keep routing more compact in machine frames and drag-chain paths.
This cable uses bare copper conductors that keep resistive losses low across the run. The molded M23 Head A provides power 3+PE and five signal contacts, and its ingress protection is rated at IP66/67, so dust and water exposure do not easily compromise the connector. The three power cores have a cross-section of 1.50 mm², while the twisted signal pair is sized at AWG22 to match the input stages of Beckhoff servo terminals. Polypropylene insulation surrounds the wires, and a tough TPU outer jacket resists oils and weld spatter. The assembly handles up to 1000 V AC and is terminated on Head B with a 7.62 mm pitch for secure drive-side screw clamps. Its overall installed length is 5.00 m, which supports cabinet-to-machine routing without an intermediate junction.
In dynamic routing, the integrated brake pair uses 0.75 mm² conductors, and the cable is rated for a service life of 5 million bending cycles at chain radii suited to robotic motion. Continuous travel speeds of 4 m/s inside the drag chain are allowed, so fast pick-and-place axes can move repeatedly without early conductor fatigue. The molded contacts are rated for 500 mating cycles, and the Head D termination uses a compact 3.50 mm pitch for encoder board plug-in. This combination supports repeated flexing while helping the cable maintain stable power delivery and feedback transmission during long production shifts.
