Cable is where you will see a majority of signal loss in motion systems instead of at the drive or motor. The cable experiences flexing, electrical disturbance, and heat over time which will diminish the performance of the servo system. The design of the LXM26 servo cable is primarily focused on providing a stable means of feedback transmission and dependable power to the load at high speed within a machine.
Here at Perfect Automation & Innovation we sell these cables for servo applications where precision and consistency are not negotiable.
You will find that size a conductor is selected to carry the rated current without any undesirable increase in temperature for extended periods of time while producing products on the production line. The shield design is used to limit electrical interference between the servo drive and motor when communicating via data. Cables are insulated and sheathed with material that remains flexible for use in drag chains and repeated bending.
Properly crimped and locked connectors are used to prevent intermittent faults due to machine vibrations. Routing and lengths are determined according to the installation plan to maintain the integrity of the signal and to reduce commissioning time. All cables are tested for insulation resistance, continuity and pin-out before they are sent out for delivery.
The LXM26 Servo Cable is used in CNC machines, packaging lines, robotics and automated assembly systems where the precision and speed of control and continuous feedback all affect production accuracy and the uptime of the machines they are connected to.
