Product Description:

The Kollmorgen M.1302.8581 Motor Power Cable is designed for dynamic motion applications. It has a total cable length of 6 meters (19.7 feet). The cable supports secure and flexible connections for motor power systems in automation or industrial settings.

This M.1302.8581 motor power cable is equipped for flex cable installations where continuous or repetitive movement is expected. The cable should be mounted with connector supports and must include fixation points 3 to 6 inches from the track end to minimize tension. Proper strain relief on both ends prevents load on molded connectors. The cable's construction allows it to operate reliably within a defined track path where non flexing sections ensure zero mechanical stress between connectors and fixation points. The ICEA standard recommends a minimum bend radius of 12 times the cable diameter to avoid copper conductor fatigue. Exceeding the bend radius can reduce cable life due to internal conductor stress and deformation. Cable tension management is critical as copper conductors inside the cable absorb most of the stress during movement. The cross sectional area of the conductors and wire gauge determines the cable's tension bearing capability with thicker or multi conductor cables supporting greater loads.

The installation process of the M.1302.8581 motor power cable includes suspending the cable for 48 hours before use to develop its natural set. The cable should be installed in alignment with this natural curvature to avoid permanent kinks. After installation, the bend radius and reel tension become the most important factors affecting cable durability. Improper handling or ignoring these conditions may lead to early cable failure. The design also supports application specific considerations like ambient temperature, ampacity, and motion speed. These parameters must be managed to ensure safe and long term operation in flexible cable environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about M.1302.8581:

Q: Why does the M.1302.8581 motor power cable require fixation points near the track end?

A: Fixation points must be installed 3 to 6 inches from the track end for the M.1302.8581. This minimizes connector tension and avoids excessive stress during motion cycles.

Q: What role does bend radius play in the performance of the M.1302.8581 cable?

A: The M.1302.8581 must maintain a bend radius of 12 times its cable diameter. This reduces internal copper conductor fatigue and prevents deformation under repeated flexing.

Q: Why is cable suspension before use necessary in the M.1302.8581 model?

A: The M.1302.8581 should be suspended for 48 hours to develop its natural set. This step helps prevent kinks and supports proper alignment during installation.

Q: How does the M.1302.8581 cable handle mechanical stress in high-movement setups?

A: The cable’s internal copper conductors absorb most of the dynamic stress. Non flexing segments between connectors and fixation points reduce mechanical load during operation.

Q: What makes the M.1302.8581 ideal for continuous motion applications?

A: Its construction supports motion-specific parameters like ambient temperature, ampacity and speed. These features ensure reliable long-term use in automated flex cable environments.
