Notice

Damage to the motor due to incorrect installation

The cable of the AL8000 is firmly encapsulated with the linear motor. It is part of the wear-free product. Incorrect installation can lead to a limited service life or damage to the linear motors. Failure to comply with the provisions will void the warranty and other claims for damages.

  • Do not lay the cable in a drag chain

Notice

Contact problems due to contamination

Dirt and impurities between the coupling and plug can impair the functions of the connection.

  • When connecting the coupling and the plug, make sure that the poles and the inside of the component are not soiled or damaged

Maximum cable lengths depend on the servo drive used

Excessively long cables between the motor and servo drive can lead to voltage drops, signal delays, and increased susceptibility to faults. Depending on the servo drive selected, additional measures may be required in order to use longer cables.

  • Refer to the manuals of the servo drive used for the dimensioning of the cable lengths.
  • Use additional components such as mains filters or motor chokes.

Information on the maximum cable lengths for the AX5000 servo drive can be found under this link AX5000.

Information on the maximum cable lengths for the AX8000 servo drive can be found under this link AX8000.

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 installation of the motors. These cables are tested with regard to the material used, shielding and connection type. The use of other cables can cause unexpected faults and result in exclusion of warranty.
