ZK4500-0004-0200
The ZK4500-0004-0200 motor cable from Beckhoff is a high-performance solution in the ZK Motor Cables series designed for demanding industrial environments. This vibrant orange cable features a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) jacket with an outer diameter of 13.4 mm ± 0.4 mm, providing visible identification and robust protection against mechanical stress. The cable’s durable construction ensures reliable power transmission while meeting stringent UL and CSA listings for safety compliance in North American applications. With its rugged design and industrial-grade materials, the ZK4500-0004-0200 combines functionality and longevity in a compact form factor.
Technical capabilities of this motor cable are extensive and precisely engineered for motor control applications. Head A is equipped with an M23 plug connector type featuring an 8-pin configuration (Number Of Positions (head A Face)) and female contacts wired via crimp connections with a body color of metal. Head B utilizes a plug connector type with a Pitch dimension 7.62 mm installation size and a 4-pin arrangement (Number Of Positions (head B Face)) employing clamping yoke connections for secure termination. Power conductors boast a 2.5 mm² (approx. AWG14) cross-section, while signal lines feature a 1 mm² (approx. AWG18) cross-section, optimizing current capacity and signal integrity across the cable run.
Operational features of the cable enhance reliability and ease of maintenance in industrial automation systems. The PVC jacket material provides excellent resistance to abrasion, oils, and environmental contaminants, while the bright orange coloration simplifies visual inspection and routing within cable trays or drag chain applications. Contact interfaces at both heads benefit from precision female contact types ensuring low-resistance connections and minimal signal loss. The combination of crimp connection at head A and clamping yoke connection at head B affords secure wire termination and streamlined field assembly without specialized tooling. Compliance with UL and CSA standards underscores the cable’s suitability for fixed installation in North American facilities, reducing installation risk and downtime.
Integration and applications of the ZK4500-0004-0200 cable are versatile across a range of industrial automation scenarios. Its compact form and flexible design facilitate installation in drag chain operation, automated machinery, and robotic systems where space is at a premium. The cable seamlessly interfaces with standard M23 motor connectors and control hardware, offering plug-and-play compatibility and reducing commissioning time. Whether deployed in machine tools, packaging lines, or conveyor systems, this Beckhoff cable delivers dependable performance and streamlined integration into existing control architectures.
