Servo Motor Cable, Screened

Low capacitance, low noise

A servo drive switches a cable at high frequency, and the cable is an antenna unless it is designed not to be. Low-capacitance insulation reduces the charging current on the motor side, while a braid with low transfer impedance contains the common-mode current instead of letting it radiate into the feedback pair or the machine frame. This is why drive manufacturers specify the cable as tightly as the motor.

Supplied as a matched set

Most of our servo work is supplied as a matched pair of motor and encoder cables for a specific axis, terminated with the drive-side and motor-side connectors the machine uses. We keep the core schedule and screen arrangement on file, so a replacement cable ordered a year later matches the original exactly.

Applications

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.

Customisation

Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
