MOTION-CONNECT 300 connection system

The MOTION-CONNECT 300 cables in this catalog are suitable for use with standard turning and milling machines.

The use of pre-assembled MOTION-CONNECT 300 cables ensures high quality and system-tested, problem-free operation.

Degree of protection of pre-assembled power and signal cables and their extensions is IP65 when closed and connected unless otherwise stated.

MOTION-CONNECT 300 cables are not suitable for outdoor use.

MOTION-CONNECT 300 cables are approved for a maximum horizontal traverse path of 5 m.

The cables must be unwound without twisting.

To maximize the service life of the cable carrier and cables, cables in the carrier made from different materials must be separated in the cable carrier using spacers. The spacers must be filled evenly to ensure that the position of the cables does not change during operation. The cables should be distributed as symmetrically as possible according to their weights and dimensions. Cables with different outer diameters should be separated by spacers as well.

When inserting pre-assembled cables into the cable carrier, do not pull at the connector, as this may damage the strain relief or cable clamping.

The cables must not be fixed in the cable carrier. They must be freely movable.

The cables must be able to be moved without applying force, specifically in the bending radii of the carrier. The specified minimum bending radii must be adhered to.

The cable fixings must be attached at both ends at an appropriate distance from the end points of the moving parts in a dead zone.

Cables must be installed in accordance with the instructions supplied by the cable carrier manufacturer.

In case of vibration load and with horizontal or vertical cable entries, we recommend that the cable is additionally fixed if between the cable strain relief on the cable carrier and the terminal at the motor part of the cable is hanging loose or is not routed. To prevent machine vibrations being transmitted to the connectors, the cable should be fixed at the moving part where the motor is mounted.
