ZK4500-8022-0060
The Beckhoff ZK4500-8022-0060 is part of the ZK Motor Cables series and serves as a versatile motor cable designed for demanding industrial automation environments. Manufactured by Beckhoff, this cable features a durable black body color comparable to RAL 9011 and supports a versatile wire cross-section range from AWG28 ... AWG14 (0.2 mm² ... 1.5 mm²). With both power and signal conductors integrated, it provides an all-in-one solution for power transmission and data communication in motor drive applications.
In terms of technical specifications, the ZK4500-8022-0060 offers a 3+PE power position and 5 signal positions at head A, terminated via secure crimp connection contacts. Head A connectors adhere to the itec® (Series 915) installation size and feature female contacts, while head B delivers a 4-pin plug with a clamping yoke connection for reliable mechanical retention. Power conductors measure 1.00 mm² (approx. AWG18), and signal conductors measure AWG22 (approx. 0.34 mm²), ensuring efficient current carrying and signal integrity.
Built specifically for drag-chain operation, this motor cable is rated as drag-chain suitable, providing enhanced flexibility and durability in dynamic motion applications. Both connector housings are female plugs, ensuring compatibility with standard motor drive interfaces. The cable’s robust construction resists repeated bending and mechanical stress, reducing maintenance and downtime. By integrating power and signal lines within a single ruggedized jacket, the ZK4500-8022-0060 streamlines installation and improves system reliability, making it an ideal choice for high-performance industrial automation systems.
