Functional Features:
- Pre-terminated — eliminates field wiring errors
- PUR jacket — resistant to oils, coolants, and abrasion
- Full shielding — provides EMI/RFI protection for encoder signals
- Drain wire — for 360° shield grounding
- Color-coded for quick identification
Structural Characteristics:
- Double-shielded construction
- Strain relief boots on both connectors
- Twisted pair layout optimized for signal integrity
- PUR outer jacket with high flexibility
Working Principle:
The cable transmits encoder feedback signals (BiSS-C, SSI, or resolver sin/cos) from the encoder to the servo drive, along with 5 VDC power to the encoder. The shielding prevents electromagnetic interference from corrupting the high-speed digital signals.
Key Advantages:
- Factory-tested — guaranteed signal integrity
- PUR jacket — exceeds standard PVC in industrial durability
- Exact length matching — reduces excess cable in cable chains
- Kollmorgen OEM quality — full compatibility guarantee
Applicable Industries:
- All Kollmorgen servo motor installations
- Robotics
- CNC machines
- Packaging equipment
Installation Requirements:
- Maintain minimum bend radius of 75 mm
- Route away from high-current power cables (min 100 mm separation)
- Ground drain wire at drive end only
Usage Precautions:
- Do not kink or crush cable
- Replace immediately if jacket is cut or connectors are damaged
- Do not exceed rated temperature range
