Product Description:
Kollmorgen manufactures the F5-12-FB4-A3-00-002000 servo cable. It is for the reliable connection between Kollmorgen AKD/AKD2G drives and AKM/AKM2G motors. This 2m cable has a 45° 15-pin D-Sub male connector for the drive side and an M23 17-pin female connector for the motor side. This connector configuration is critical to ensure signal transmission between the drive and motor as it provides a standard and secure interface. The cable supports EnDat 2.1 and BiSS B feedback protocol. This protocol is for high-precision motion control to get accurate and real-time feedback on the motor position and speed. EnDat 2.1 and BiSS B a digital interfaces with advantages in noise immunity and data integrity compared to the analog feedback method. The F5 mid-flex design with PVC jacket means it is suitable for industrial application. The PVC jacket protects against abrasion, chemicals and other environmental factors; the mid-flex design allows the cable to withstand repeated bending and movement in industrial automation.
The cable construction is a 16-conductor FB4 feedback type with a 1.5 mm² wire cross-section. The 16 conductors are to carry all the signals for feedback, control and communication between the drive and motor. The 1.5 mm² wire cross-section is to ensure enough current carrying capacity and minimize signal loss over a 2m length. A larger cross-section will reduce signal attenuation but increase cable weight and stiffness. The cable also uses an M23 SpeedTec® (17-pin) connector for the motor side. M23 is a robust industry standard connector known for its reliability in harsh environments. The SpeedTec® design enhances the connector's ability to withstand vibration and shock, which is common in industrial applications. The 2m length of the cable is a balance between flexibility in installation and minimizing signal degradation. Longer cables will introduce signal attenuation; shorter cables might restrict the placement of the drive and motor.
The minimum bend radius, both dynamic (42mm) and static (63mm), is critical to ensure the long-term reliability of the cable. Exceeding these will damage the internal conductor and shielding of the cable and cause a signal error or even failure. The dynamic bend radius is when the cable is in motion; it’s smaller than the static bend radius, which is when the cable is stationary. This is to account for the increased stress on the cable when it’s in motion. The weight of the cable, 0.141 kg/m, is to be considered in the overall system design, especially if weight is a constraint. The standard length available (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 25m) provides flexibility for various installation requirements.
