ZK4500-8022-0130

The ZK4500-8022-0130 from Beckhoff represents a robust addition to the ZK Motor Cables series, designed for demanding industrial automation environments. This motor cable features an IP67 Protection rating, ensuring full defense against dust ingress and water immersion during operations. Rated for 24 VDC Voltage Rating with a 500 mA Current Consumption, it delivers consistent power for a wide range of servo and stepper motor applications. The integrated sensing element offers a 4 mm sensing distance, enabling precise feedback in position monitoring. Engineered to operate across a temperature span of –25 °C to +70 °C, this cable maintains performance under extreme conditions.

Technically advanced, the cable incorporates a Cross-section (power) of 1.00 mm² (AWG18) alongside a Cross-section (signal) of 0.34 mm² (AWG22) for reliable power and data transmission. It supports a maximum operating voltage of 1000 V AC (UL) and complies with Uo/U 600/1000 V (VDE) standards for enhanced safety. The outer diameter of 11.6 mm ± 0.4 mm balances compact routing with mechanical robustness, while the Weight of 50 g per meter minimizes added load. Performance metrics include a Response Time of 1 ms and Repeat Accuracy of ≤ 0.2 mm, guaranteeing swift, precise signal propagation. With a lifecycle endurance of 5 million motion cycles, it meets the demands of high-dynamic applications.

Operationally, this cable excels in drag-chain setups, designated as Use: drag-chain suitable to withstand repetitive motion stresses. Its Material jacket of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) provides superior resistance to abrasion, oils, and mechanical impact, while the Jacket color of orange ensures high visibility within complex assemblies. For fixed installations, a minimum bending radius of 5 × outer cable diameter facilitates compact routing without compromising conductor integrity. The resilient construction offers vibration resistance under continuous mechanical cycling, reducing downtime and maintenance requirements. The combination of signal and power conductors in a single, triple-head assembly optimizes cable management and system reliability.

Integration into machinery is streamlined by the inclusion of Heads: Three A, B & C, enabling simultaneous connections to multiple drive units or feedback devices. The cable’s compatibility with Beckhoff motion controllers and drives simplifies system commissioning and parameterization. Ideal for applications such as robotic arms, conveyor systems, high-speed indexing tables, and packaging machines, the ZK4500-8022-0130 ensures stable power delivery and precise control signals. Its durable design extends service life, making it a cost-effective solution for continuous-production environments.
