Product Description

The ZK4500-0023-0012 is part of the innovative range of motor cables designed by Beckhoff to provide secure connections between motors and control systems. It is designed to ensure that electric motors work efficiently and safely within larger systems by delivering power and signals to the motor. The cable is optimized for use in environments where there is constant movement without degradation in its structural integrity. This makes it a versatile solution in applications that utilize drag chains. The cable offers a capacity of 5 million bending cycles, supporting repeated motion without incurring damage. Its speed capacity is also impressive at 240 m/min providing ample speeds for high-speed applications.

Users can utilize connectors on both end of the cable to connect to other devices as needed. Each head of the cable has a distinct connector type, providing easy connectivity with different types of peripherals. On the B head of the cable, the connector type is a plug that features four female contacts. This connector allows termination of wires by means of a clamp that holds the wire in place to create a solid electrical connection. The second end of the cable, Head A, offers a connecting plug with an M23 installation size, providing compatibility with various devices. This connector has 8 female contacts and allows termination of wires using a crimping tool.

The ZK4500-0023-0012 offers cable has two different sizes of conductors to facilitate transmission of power and signals. It has four conductors of size 1.50 mm² conductor that transmit power and two conductors of size 0.75 mm² that carry signals. The large cross-sectional area, enables the cable to carry more current ensuring that cable it can provide enough power to connected motors.
