8ECM0005.1031C-0
The 8ECM0005.1031C-0 motor cable from B & R Automation joins the renowned CM16 Motor Cables series with a robust design tailored for demanding industrial environments. It delivers a power rating of 5 kW at a nominal speed of 3000 rpm and operates on a voltage of 400 V, ensuring reliable performance in automation installations. The cable’s protection class of IP65 when mounted meets rigorous dust and water ingress standards, complementing its self-ventilated Cooling Method. Its flange mounting type and substantial shaft diameter of 28 mm facilitate straightforward mechanical integration into motor assemblies and drive systems.
Equipped with an 11.1 A current carrying capacity and IE4 efficiency class, this cable supports high-efficiency power transmission for modern servo and asynchronous motors. Its dual-frequency compatibility (50/60 Hz) ensures stable operation across global power grids. The assembly contains four 0.75 mm² power conductors and four 0.34 mm² signal conductors, each insulated with durable PP material, delivering precise control and feedback channels. Shielding combines a tinned copper braid with foil banding, providing full 360° coverage and supporting a test voltage of 4 kV between veins and shield. With an outer diameter of 10.1 ± 0.3 mm and a total weight of 0.5 kg for the 5 m length, the cable balances flexibility and robustness.
Operationally, the 8ECM0005.1031C-0 motor cable integrates filling elements and release film to maintain conductor geometry and mechanical stability under continuous flexing. Its PURE-grade orange jacket (RAL 2003 matte) offers enhanced UV and chemical resistance, safeguarding internal components in harsh plant environments. Performance conductor resistance is ≤26.7 Ω/km, while signal conductor resistance is ≤56 Ω/km, ensuring minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation. The combination of PP insulation, robust shielding, and precise conductor bundling minimizes electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing consistent data integrity for encoder and feedback loops. The flange-mounted configuration simplifies installation and provides secure anchoring to motor housings.
Designed for seamless integration with B & R automation systems and third-party drives, this cable excels in machine tool, packaging, and handling applications. Its IP66/IP67 protection class when plugged to matching connectors ensures end-to-end environmental protection in washdown and outdoor installations. The CM16 series’ modular design allows compatibility with standard connectors and conduit entries, reducing custom part requirements and installation time. Engineers will appreciate its clear conductor color coding—black, brown, blue, and yellow/green—for power lines, and paired signal wires for encoder feedback, streamlining commissioning and maintenance tasks.
