Version: 1.7
Beckhoff supplies prefabricated power and feedback cables. For the
selection of the necessary cables, refer to the Beckhoff documenta-
tion for the connecting cables. In the documentation you will find a
complete overview of the available cables and information on the
technical data.
For interference-free data transmission, please note:
• Maximum number of mating cycles for the connectors: 500 cy-
cles
If the mating cycles are exceeded, contact problems may result.
Do not lay cable in drag chains
The cable of the AL8000 is firmly encapsulated with the linear mo-
tor. It is part of the wear-free product. Do not lay the cable in a drag
chain.
A limited service life or damage to the linear motor is the result.
Non-compliance will void the warranty and other claims for dam-
ages.
Avoid soiling and damage
When connecting the coupling and the plug, make sure that the
poles and the inside of the component are not soiled or damaged.
Failure to do so may adversely affect the function of the connec-
tions.
Hint for trouble-free application and assembly:
• Wiring in accordance with applicable regulations and standards
• Use of pre-assembled and shielded Beckhoff cables
Beckhoff offers pre-assembled cables for faster and flawless instal-
lation of the motors. These cables are tested with regard to the ma-
terial used, shielding and connection type. The use of other cables
can cause unexpected malfunctions and result in exclusion of war-
ranty.
