Product Description
The Beckhoff ZK4500-0023-0250 is part of the ZK Motor Cable series and is among motor cables that are highly flexible and can be used in applications that are dynamic in nature and require frequent movement. This cable is manufactured with a drag chain in mind and is rated for 5 million bending cycles. Hence, it would be ideal for robots, automated machines, and motors.
M23 plug contacts consist of 8 terminals, which are crimped together in order to enhance the connection and improve performance. The cable is encased in a bright orange polyurethane (PUR) jacket that protects the inner wires from abrasion, harsh chemicals, and physical stress. Therefore, this makes sure the cable is long serving in the premises that are industrial. This ethernet cable can withstand very high speeds, where the maximum is 240 meters per minute, and can endure accelerations of 30 meters per second squared. A minimum allowable bending radius of the ethernet cable is 87 mm, which is about 7 times more than the outer diameter of the ethernet cable.
Moreover, it also supports installations of drag-chains of horizontal length up to 20 meters and vertical length up to 5 meters. A cross-section of 1.5 square mm is sufficient for power transmission to work properly and United states and Canada certifications exist for the product meeting international safety standards. The ZK4500-0023-0250 can also work with a few other Beckhoff motors and drives, namely AL2xxx, AL3xxx , AM3000 winding code up to L and AX5000 rated 1.5 to 12A.
