Kollmorgen MCSS16-0808-00
Product Introduction:
The MCSS16-0808-00 is a pre-assembled, shielded servo motor cable from Kollmorgen designed to connect AKD or PCD servo drives to Kollmorgen servo motors. The “16” indicates 16 AWG power conductors, “0808” specifies the cable length as 8 meters (8.0 m), and “00” denotes the standard feedback configuration. This cable assembly integrates power and feedback wiring into a single, factory-terminated harness, reducing installation time and eliminating wiring errors.

Structural Features:
- Dual-shielded construction: braided shield + individual pair foils
- Drain wire for shield grounding at drive end
- Keyed connector housings to prevent mis-mating
- Color-coded internal wires per Kollmorgen standard (Red/Black/Green = U/V/W phases, Blue/Brown = encoder A+/A-, White/Gray = encoder B+/B-, Yellow = encoder Z)
Functional Features:
- Factory-tested continuity and insulation resistance (>100 MΩ at 500 VDC)
- Pre-terminated connectors eliminate field soldering
- Shield grounding at drive end ensures EMI immunity
- Compatible with all AKD and PCD servo drive models
Applicable Industries:
- All industries using Kollmorgen AKD/PCD drives with frame motors
- CNC machines
- Packaging equipment
- Print presses
- Robot cells
Installation Requirements:
- Route cable away from high-current power lines (minimum separation: 100 mm)
- Secure cable with clamps at intervals not exceeding 500 mm
- Connect drain wire to drive chassis ground terminal
- Do not exceed minimum bend radius under any condition
Usage Notes:
- Do not cut or modify the cable — use the full length or a factory-supplied alternative
- If cable is damaged, replace the entire assembly — do not splice
- Verify encoder signal polarity before commissioning
