20-Million-Cycle Linear Motor Encoder and Control Cable

Product Overview

The 20-million-cycle linear motor encoder and control cable is built for high-speed feedback, encoding and control circuits in compact moving systems. Its multi-core layout uses fine-stranded tinned-copper conductors, color-coded TPE-E insulation, PP braided filling, an improved tinned-copper screen and a black special PUR outer sheath. The supplied specification lists U₀/U 300/300V, a 1500V test voltage, mobile operation from -20°C to +80°C and fixed installation from -40°C to +90°C. Available constructions include paired encoder circuits and compact multi-core arrangements, allowing engineers to match conductor grouping to the control architecture without adding unsupported electrical claims.

Key Features

• Fine-stranded tinned-copper conductors to DIN VDE 0295 Class 6 and IEC 60228 Class 6.
• TPE-E insulation with color-coded cores for circuit identification.
• Improved tinned-copper braided screen with stated minimum 90% coverage.
• Special PUR outer sheath, black RAL 9005 matt.
• Mobile temperature stated as -20°C to +80°C and fixed temperature -40°C to +90°C.
• Mobile minimum bend radius 8 × cable diameter; fixed installation 4 × diameter.

Product Specifications

Applications

Designed for encoder feedback, position control, sensor circuits and control-signal transmission on miniature linear motors and high-speed automation stages. Typical installations include precision positioning systems, semiconductor handling, compact robotics and repetitive pick-and-place mechanisms. The metallic screen supports noise-sensitive circuits when correctly grounded. Engineers must verify pair assignment, signal requirements, grounding method, travel, acceleration, bend radius and cycle conditions before selecting the final construction.

Customization Options

Available options include the listed paired or multi-core configurations, circuit color coding, pair identification, cut length, sheath marking, customer logo, connector preparation and packaging. Connectorized encoder assemblies require an approved pinout, connector drawing and shielding-termination instruction. Electrical characteristics not stated in the supplied sheet are available upon request after engineering review.

Packaging & Shipping

Small-diameter encoder cables are supplied in protected coils or reels that avoid tight bends and end damage. Ends can be capped, labeled by circuit or prepared for subsequent termination. Cartons, reels and pallets are selected according to cable length and quantity. Export labels, packing lists and shipping marks can be adapted to the buyer’s logistics requirements.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Manufacturing controls include fine-wire conductor stranding, TPE-E insulation dimensions, pair formation, core lay, PP filling, braid coverage and PUR sheath inspection. Each production lot can be checked for continuity, conductor resistance, insulation resistance and voltage withstand. Shield continuity and circuit identification are verified before release. Dynamic-life evidence and compliance documents are supplied only when applicable to the approved construction.
