Product Description:
The ZK4510-0020-0150 motor cable is manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the ZK Motor Cables series. It links servo drives to matching motors in automated equipment, carrying both power and feedback lines within a flexible jacket. The cable is intended for energy-chain routing, so it supports continuous motion without signal loss in packaging, handling, and assembly machines. This combined-cable layout also helps reduce separate cable runs on moving axes.
With a total length of 15.00 m, the cable can reach between control cabinets and moving axes without intermediate joints. One end uses an M23 straight plug / D-sub angled socket, and the cable follows a 17-pin female / 15-pin male contact layout that matches Beckhoff servo modules. Inside the PUR jacket, a 7 × 2 × 0.14 mm² + 2 × 0.5 mm² conductor set carries encoder channels and motor supply conductors, while overall tinned-copper braiding provides at least 85% shield coverage against electromagnetic noise. The outer diameter is 7.6 mm ± 0.3 mm, so glands and drag-chain separators can be sized precisely, and the minimum dynamic bend radius is seven times that dimension. For signal integrity, insulation resistance is at least 20 MΩ·km, and the small-gauge pairs have wire resistances no higher than 138 Ω/km or 40 Ω/km, depending on cross-section. Rated system voltage is 30 V, allowing safe extra-low-voltage operation alongside sensitive control electronics.
The PUR outer sheath tolerates oils and coolants while keeping the cable flexible at high duty factors. During operation, the assembly withstands continuous motion up to a linear speed of 4 m/s and accelerations reaching 30 m/s² across strokes as long as 20 m. Laboratory testing confirms endurance through 10 million bending cycles, which matches long-life requirements in multi-shift production. Electrical safety in these dynamic conditions is verified by a dielectric strength of 1000 V wire-to-wire and 800 V wire-to-shield. When installed within the stated travel distance and bend radius, the cable maintains stable transmission characteristics, and the braid shield helps limit emissions at encoder frequencies.
