ZK4500-0023-0070
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff ZK4500-0023-0070 connection cable from the ZK Motor Cables series is engineered for demanding industrial automation tasks. With an outer cable diameter of 12.4 mm B1 3 mm and a robust PUR (polyurethane) jacket, this drag-chain suitable cable ensures reliable performance in continuous motion applications. It features an M23 plug on head A with an 8-pin female contact and a 4-pin female contact on head B, supporting a maximum wire cross-section ranging from AWG24 to AWG8 (0.2 mm B2 to 10 mm B2) for versatile power and signal transmission.
This cables technical construction highlights its durability and precision in harsh environments. Head A employs a crimp connection termination method within a metal-bodied M23 plug, while head B uses a clamping yoke connection for secure wire retention. The cables orange jacket provides immediate visual identification among multiple lines, and its outer cable diameter tolerance of B1 3 mm facilitates precise routing in confined spaces. The integrated conductor pairs accommodate a power cross-section of 1.50 mm B2 (AWG16 equivalent) alongside signal pairs of 0.75 mm B2 (AWG18), ensuring efficient current carrying capacity and minimal voltage drop.
Built to withstand mechanical stresses, the ZK4500-0023-0070 cable is UL and CSA listed, complying with established safety and performance standards. The PUR jacket offers excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion, while maintaining flexibility in dynamic installations. Its compatibility with a wide AWG range makes it suitable for various motor and sensor connectors, promoting streamlined inventory and reduced downtime. In industrial automation systems, this cable delivers enhanced durability, precise signal integrity, and simplified maintenance, ultimately boosting operational efficiency and reliability.
