ZK4500-0015-0040 by Beckhoff

The Beckhoff ZK4500-0015-0040 motor cable is a robust component designed for dynamic industrial applications. Manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the ZK Motor Cables series, it integrates key features such as a secure 8-pin plug on Head A with a crimp connection and superior flexibility demonstrated by a 5 million bending cycle capacity. This cable is engineered to perform in environments that require continuous movement and high durability, with its design specifically catering to challenging drag-chain applications where frequent bending and high-speed operation are common.

Detailed technical specifications highlight that the cable incorporates a Metal body color for Head A and uses dual connector types; both Head A and Head B are outfitted with plug connectors. The contacts on both heads are of the Female type, with Head A featuring an installation size of M40 and a corresponding 8-pin configuration, while Head B provides a 4-pin option with a pitch dimension of 7.62 mm. It is further rated with a maximum speed of 180 m/min, maximum acceleration of 5 m/s², and a minimum bending radius of 158 mm (10 x OD), ensuring that even under high-speed conditions the cable maintains optimal performance.

Additional features emphasize the cable's suitability for industrial automation, providing long-term reliability and resistance to mechanical stress. Its construction, which includes a crimp connection at Wire Termination on Head A and a clamping yoke connection at Head B, allows it to withstand vibration and frequent movement. The design not only supports the demands of high-speed applications, such as robotics and conveyor systems, but also offers compatibility with drag-chain installations. This robust build, coupled with its precise technical alignment, underscores the benefits of using the ZK4500-0015-0040 motor cable for efficient and reliable performance in modern industrial settings.
