Product Description:

The Beckhoff ZK4520-0020-0100 encoder cable is a reliable and high-performance option For precise connections in industrial automation systems. Beckhoff makes a line of long-lasting cables that can be used in a number of hazardous circumstances. The encoder wire consistently sends signals and is very flexible, which makes it a great choice for automatic motion applications.

The ZK4520-0020-0100 encoder wire is 10 meters long and has an outside diameter of 7.5 mm ± 0.3 mm. The connection for the encoder has an A-type M23 plug connector with 17 pins and a straight female shape. It has an IP66/67 grade for security when properly paired. A test voltage of 1500 V can be put between wires and between wires and the shield. There are four sets of wires on the core, which are made of tinned copper. There is 0.25 mm² of space between each wire, and they can each handle up to 7 A of power. The ZK4520-0020-0100 encoder wire doesn't have any halogens or other silicones in it. It also gets along with RoHS rules and can work in temperatures between -40°C and +80°C if it's not moving.

The shield blocks at least 85% of what you can see, weighs about 80.3 kg/km and has a rating of at least 500 M ohm for insulation protection. The cable in a drag chain can take up to 20 m/s² of force and 3 m/s of speed. When the object is not moving, the bent radius must be at least 8 times the outer width. For uses with a dynamic drag chain, it is 10 times the outer diameter. The ZK4520-0020-0100 encoder cable comes with a one-year replacement guarantee and ships all over the world, making it a reliable choice for industrial automation needs around the world.
