Performance Highlights
- Dual-layer full shielding structure eliminates electromagnetic interference from nearby high-power inverters, welding equipment and frequency converters, prevents encoder signal loss or position drift faults
- Integrated single-cable design reduces cabinet wiring count, shortens equipment assembly and commissioning time
- High-flex fine-stranded conductors withstand millions of drag chain reciprocating cycles without conductor breakage
- Coolant and oil resistant outer jacket extends service life in metal cutting, injection molding and stamping production environments
- Pre-assembled factory cable eliminates on-site wiring error risks caused by improper crimping or misaligned pin connections

Structural Characteristics
- Concentric internal layered structure: central twisted encoder signal pairs surrounded by three-phase power conductors, wrapped sequentially by inner foil shield, overall braided shield and outer TPU jacket
- Molded strain relief sections integrated at both cable-to-connector transition points to prevent conductor fatigue fracture under bending and tensile load
- 360° continuous metal shielding ring inside each connector shell to maintain unbroken shielding continuity along full cable length
- Circular bayonet locking motor-side connector for rapid secure mating; straight push-lock drive-side connector for compact cabinet wiring
- Uniform outer cable diameter for seamless routing inside standard industrial cable drag chains
Working Principle
Three-phase AC power current transmits through internal large-gauge power conductors from servo drive power output terminals to AKM motor stator windings. Differential digital encoder signals travel along individually twisted, shielded signal pairs between motor rear-end encoder and drive feedback interface. Multi-layer shielding captures stray industrial electromagnetic radiation, conducts interference noise to protective earth ground via cable shield drain wire and connector metal shells, preventing signal distortion or data corruption during high-speed real-time position communication. Molded strain relief structures disperse mechanical bending stress away from internal conductor termination points to maintain long-term circuit integrity under cyclic motion.
Applicable Industries
CNC machine tools, metal stamping transfer equipment, lithium battery winding machinery, automated packaging high-speed gantries, semiconductor wafer handling equipment, injection molding robotic manipulators
Installation Requirements
- Static fixed installation must maintain bending radius no less than 12 times cable outer diameter; drag chain dynamic installation minimum radius 20× cable OD
- Cable shield drain wire must connect to cabinet protective earth bus at drive-side connector end only; single-point grounding rule strictly enforced
- Avoid routing alongside unshielded high-current power cables, welding leads or frequency converter output wiring; minimum separation distance ≥ 30 cm
- Drag chain installation requires cable slack reserve of 10% total length to eliminate tensile stress during full travel stroke
- Tighten motor-side bayonet connector to specified 1.0 N·m torque to preserve full IP65 environmental sealing
Usage Precautions
- Do not apply sharp cutting tools, excessive pulling force or heavy mechanical impact to cable jacket; outer TPU jacket damage breaks shielding integrity and allows fluid ingress
- Avoid long-term contact with high-temperature surfaces exceeding +80°C; outer jacket permanent deformation and insulation degradation occurs
- Prevent sharp metal edge abrasion during cable routing; install plastic cable grommets through cabinet panel cutouts
- REP replacement cable cannot be shortened or extended via field splices; splice joints destroy shielding continuity and void factory performance compliance
- Inspect connector O-ring seals every 6 months in coolant-splash environments; replace cracked or hardened O-rings to maintain dust and liquid protection rating
- Do not expose cable assembly to direct high-pressure washing sprays exceeding IP65 protection limits
