ZK4500-8023-0120
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff ZK4500-8023-0120 cable from the ZK Motor Cables series is engineered for high-performance motion control in industrial automation. This robust cable features a metal body with female-contact M23 connector at Head A and a 4-pin female plug with clamping yoke at Head B, enabling reliable power and signal transmission. Rated for 5 million bending cycles, it is specifically designed to withstand continuous flexing in drag-chain operations, ensuring uninterrupted operation in dynamic machinery.
This cable offers detailed technical specifications to satisfy demanding applications. Head A incorporates an M23 metal-bodied plug with 3+PE power contacts and 5 signal contacts, while Head B uses a 4-pin female connector with a pitch dimension of 7.62 mm, accommodating wire cross-sections from AWG24 (0.2 mm²) to AWG8 (10 mm²). The power conductor cross-section is 1.50 mm² (approx. AWG16), and the signal conductors are AWG22 (approx. 0.34 mm²). Both connectors utilize crimp and clamping yoke terminations for secure electrical mating. The housing colors are a durable metal finish on Head A and a black finish similar to RAL 9011 on Head B, enhancing mechanical protection and aesthetic integration.
Constructed with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) jacket, the ZK4500-8023-0120 delivers excellent abrasion resistance, oil resistance, and environmental durability. It is UL and CSA approved, providing certified safety and compliance for global industrial deployments. Suitable for high-speed applications up to 240 m/min, this cable maintains signal integrity and power stability under continuous flexing. Ideal for robotic systems, automated machinery, and motion control installations, the Beckhoff ZK4500-8023-0120 offers enhanced lifespan, reduced maintenance, and superior performance in harsh industrial environments.
