8ECM0015.1111C-0
The B & R Automation 8ECM0015.1111C-0 motor cable, part of the CM16 Motor Cables series, provides a robust connection solution for demanding industrial automation systems. Designed and manufactured by B & R Automation, this product integrates seamlessly with EC motors and power supply modules. With a compact profile and high environmental resistance, the 8ECM0015.1111C-0 cable ensures reliable performance in harsh factory settings. Its construction supports sustained mechanical stress and electrical integrity, making it a key component in high-speed motion control applications.
Critical technical specifications define the cable’s capabilities in rigorous operational contexts. It features 4×1.5 mm² power lines each with individual shielding and an overall braid, ensuring low electromagnetic interference. The cable assembly includes an IP66/IP67 rated connector tested for dust-tightness, powerful water jets, and temporary immersion. It accommodates a voltage rating of 1000 VAC and a rated voltage of 400 V consistent with EC motor requirements. Electrical performance is further characterized by a rated power of 1.5 kW, rated current of 3.8 A, and rated frequency of 240 Hz. The cable is optimized for integration with a B5 flange-mounted EC Motor of the Type EC Motor category featuring cooling type Surface-cooled (IC410) and Protection Class IP65.
Operational features emphasize durability under dynamic conditions. The 8ECM0015.1111C-0 tolerates accelerations up to 50 m/s² and velocities as high as 3000 m/min, supporting rapid traverse motions in robotic arms and cable carriers. It endures at least 5,000,000 bend cycles in continuous flexing applications, mitigating conductor fatigue and maintaining signal integrity. Static and dynamic bending radii are precisely specified: a minimum bending radius of 38 mm when stationary and a minimum bending radius of 94 mm during movement. The connector is designed for semi-permanent installation and rated for fewer than 500 connect/disconnect cycles, balancing mechanical stability and serviceability.
System integration is streamlined through compliance with standard EC motor interfaces and cable management systems. The cable’s outer diameter of 12.2±0.3 mm fits common cable ducts, glands, and automated cable carriers. It interfaces directly with EC motor terminals, eliminating the need for additional adapters and simplifying cabinet layouts. Ideal target applications include high-speed pick-and-place machines, industrial robotics, packaging lines, and automated material handling systems where reliable power transmission and signal shielding are critical.
