8BCH0002.1111A-0
The 8BCH0002.1111A-0 motor cable from B & R Automation is a member of the CM16 Motor Cables series, engineered to support robust signal and power transmission in advanced industrial automation environments. This hybrid cable integrates an incremental encoder interface and meets an IP65 protection class, ensuring resilient performance against dust and low-pressure water jets. With a rated voltage of 230 V AC and a rated current of 0.3 A, the cable reliably carries up to 50 W of power to compatible motors. The lightweight yet durable design weighs 0.73 kg and features a shaft diameter interface of 8 mm for seamless mechanical coupling. Operating across an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40 °C, this cable supports a rated speed of 3000 rpm with a rated torque of 0.16 Nm and a peak torque capacity of 0.63 Nm.
Performance is further enhanced by a composite shielding system composed of tin-coated copper foil and a metallic mesh, which effectively mitigates electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments. The conductors consist of multiple stranded copper cores—four power lines at 1.5 mm², two medium lines at 0.75 mm², and several fine signal lines at 0.30 mm² and 0.15 mm²—allowing optimized current distribution and precise control signals. Each conductor is insulated with polypropylene (PP) for rigidity and thermal stability, and the PUR outer jacket provides exceptional flexibility, abrasion resistance, and chemical resilience. The cable’s plug assembly, featuring a 13-pin Speedtec connector, is rated for fewer than 500 connection cycles, making it ideal for semi-permanent installations. This meticulous construction ensures compliance with EN 60811-2-1, UL AWM Style 21223, and CSA C22.2 No. 210 standards, certifying flame resistance and safe operation up to 1000 V at 80 °C.
Reliability is assured through rigorous material selection and sealing methods that preserve cable integrity in harsh factory conditions. The flange mounting option simplifies integration with existing motor housings and drive units, while the round cross-section and non-conductive fillers maintain mechanical stability under continuous movement. B & R Automation’s quality assurance processes guarantee consistent performance, backed by stringent testing for vibration, temperature cycling, and ingress protection. This cable is ideally suited for servo motor applications, conveyor drives, robotic actuators, and other precision motion systems where signal fidelity and power continuity are paramount. With its balanced combination of electrical capabilities and mechanical endurance, the 8BCH0002.1111A-0 serves as a reliable backbone for demanding industrial automation installations.
