Product Description:

The ZK4510-0020-0160 is produced by Beckhoff as part of the ZK Motor Cables series. This pre-assembled motor cable combines power cores, signal pairs, and shielding so that a servo motor can remain electrically stable while traveling along pick-and-place gantries, handling robots, or packaging lines. By maintaining consistent conductor geometry during motion, it prevents voltage drop and signal noise that would otherwise degrade closed-loop drive performance.

The cable core consists of 7 x 2 x 0.14 mm² + 2 x 0.5 mm², providing seven twisted signal pairs and two larger power conductors within one sheath. Its total supplied length is 16.00 m, allowing motors to traverse carriers that extend up to 20 m without intermediate junctions. For high-speed axes, the design tolerates linear velocities of 4 m/s and accelerations reaching 30 m/s². Drag-chain grades are confirmed by a life rating of 10 million bending cycles, so repetitive motion in multi-shift operation does not compromise insulation. A braided shield with at least 85% optical coverage suppresses electromagnetic interference along the entire run, and the jacket keeps performance stable while the assembly moves through energy chains across the specified travel distance.

Connector A is a 17-pin circular plug that carries phase, sensor, and brake lines up to a continuous current of 7 A at 125 V AC/DC. Connector B terminates in a compact 15-pin socket for direct attachment to compatible servo drives. Electrical integrity is supported by contact resistance below 5 mΩ and an impulse withstand voltage of 2.0 kV between conductive elements. The cable insulation provides a resistance of ≥ 20 MΩ·km, limiting leakage on long runs while the overall assembly operates on 30 V control systems. Each plug pair endures 500 mating cycles, allowing repeated disconnection during service without exceeding the mechanical design limit.
