Servo Motor Cables

A servo motor cable is a connection cable, mostly shielded and made with ready-prepared ends, that carries motor power or the encoder feedback signal between a servo drive and a servo motor. In CNC machines, packaging machines, robots and axis systems, a power cable and an encoder cable are used together so that the drive can supply the motor and read the rotor position. In this category, GMT motor, brake motor, incremental and absolute encoder cables compatible with the SD6, SD7 and GSS series are sold by the piece in 5 m, 10 m and 15 m lengths, and Isıso motor and encoder cables for servos with ratings such as 400 W, 750 W, 1 kW and 2.2 kW in 3 m, 5 m, 10 m and 15 m lengths. Mekas 2YSLCY-J and 2YSLCYK-J shielded power cables are sold by the meter in 4x1.5 mm², 4x2.5 mm², 4x4 mm² and 4x6 mm² cross-sections. Choose the ready-made cable first according to the drive and motor series, then according to the motor power, brake status, encoder type and the distance between the panel and the motor. A motor cable and an encoder cable cannot replace each other; one carries the motor phases, the other the low-level feedback signal.

How to choose Servo Motor Cables

A servo motor cable is a connection cable, mostly shielded and made with ready-prepared ends, that carries motor power or the encoder feedback signal between a servo drive and a servo motor. In CNC machines, packaging machines, robots and axis systems, a power cable and an encoder cable are used together so that the drive can supply the motor and read the rotor position.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
