Product Description:
The ZK4511-0020-0050 is a flexible motor cable manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the ZK Motor Cables series. It links servo amplifiers to synchronous motors, transferring phase power, control conductors, and feedback lines so that moving axes in automated machinery receive both energy and signals through a single routed assembly. Its design supports drag-chain installation, allowing continuous motion in material-handling, packaging, and gantry systems without additional protective conduits.
The conductors are made of tinned copper to keep resistance low while limiting oxidation in humid plant areas. Termination is handled by an M23 17-pin female plug and M23 male socket pair, so the cable mates directly with standard Beckhoff drive and motor connectors. Inside the PUR jacket, the cores follow a 7 x 2 x 0.14 mm² + 2 x 0.5 mm² arrangement that separates power, brake, and sensor pairs to minimize crosstalk. A fixed length of 5.00 m supports short cabinet-to-axis runs, and the assembly withstands line potentials up to 125 V AC/DC, while the control pairs normally operate at 30 V. The PUR outer sheath resists oils and weld spatter, and together with molded connector shells, it provides an ingress rating of IP66/67 for washdown zones.
Total loop resistance is kept below 5 mΩ, limiting voltage drop during extended duty cycles. Phase conductors carry up to 7 A maximum, so the cable can supply medium-frame servos without overheating. Energy-chain tests verify continuous operation at linear speeds of 4 m/s and accelerations up to 30 m/s², letting it follow fast pick-and-place paths. A braided and aluminized shield covers at least 85% of the circumference to suppress EMI from adjacent drives. Polypropylene insulation, 500 guaranteed mating cycles, and a PUR jacket combine to maintain dielectric strength and mechanical flexibility through millions of bend strokes.
