Product Description

The ZK4510-0020-0060 is manufactured by Beckhoff for use as a highly flexible, drag-chain suitable encoder connection cable. Built to endure up to 5 million bending cycles, this cable is ideal for dynamic environments where frequent movement and durability are essential. Its robust construction ensures reliable data transmission while maintaining flexibility in drag-chain setups. Optimized for use in drag-chain applications, the cable offers a maximum horizontal drag-chain length of 20 meters and a vertical length of 5 meters. This allows for flexible routing in various setups, ensuring reliable signal transmission over significant distances in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

With a cross-section of 7 x 2 x 0.14 mm² plus 2 x 0.5 mm², this cable ensures robust signal and power transmission in dynamic applications. The cable’s outer diameter measures 7.6 mm ± 0.3 mm. It features a durable jacket that is made from durable green polyurethane (PUR), providing excellent resistance to abrasion and environmental stress. This makes it ideal for use in drag chains where flexibility and longevity are essential. The cable has an M23 connector type for Head A, designed as a plug with a 17-pin female contact configuration. The wire termination is achieved through a crimp connection, ensuring reliable signal transmission.

The ZK4510-0020-0060 features a D-sub connector type for Head B, designed as a socket with a 15-pin male contact configuration. This design facilitates secure connections to various devices and systems. The wire termination utilizes a solder connection, which ensures a strong and stable electrical contact, minimizing the risk of disconnection or signal loss. The cable is suitable for complex automation tasks and is designed to withstand environmental stress without degradation in performance, making it perfect for use in drag chains.
