ZK4510-0020-0120 by Beckhoff

The Beckhoff ZK4510-0020-0120 cable, part of the ZK Motor Cables series, is engineered for precise encoder connections in industrial automation. It features key design elements such as a 17-pin connector on head A and a robust design that employs a crimp connection for secure wire termination. The cable is optimized for drag-chain applications and is designed to support complex installation requirements, ensuring stable performance in dynamic environments.

Detailed technical specifications include a cross-section configuration of 7 x 2 x 0.14 mm2 + 2 x 0.5 mm2, which guarantees effective power and signal transmission in high precision setups. The head A connector is a M23 plug with female contacts while the head B connector is a D-sub socket featuring 15-pin male contacts with a solder connection, ensuring firm, vibration-resistant electrical bonds. Both connectors are constructed with metal components that enhance durability and electromagnetic shielding.

Additional features comprise an outer jacket made of PUR (polyurethane) that provides exceptional abrasion resistance and flexibility, complemented by an outer diameter of 7.6 mm which balances robustness with ease of cable management. The cable is also designed to withstand up to 5 million bending cycles and is both UL and CSA listed, further attesting to its compliance with key industrial safety standards. With capacities for horizontal installations up to 20 meters and vertical installations up to 5 meters, this cable offers reliable connectivity and enduring performance, making it a valuable asset in a wide range of industrial applications.
