Product Overview
The PHOENIX CONTACT Cable 2306951 (FLKMIL-50/4FLK14/EZ-DR/100/CS) is a high-performance, hybrid trailing and torsion cable engineered for the most demanding automated applications. Designed for continuous flexing in cable carriers (e.g., drag chains) and officially certified for torsional stress, this robust cable provides a unified solution for simultaneous power and control signal transmission in dynamic environments such as robotics, CNC machinery, and automated assembly lines.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Torsion Certified (EZ-DR): Officially tested and certified for applications involving twisting and rotational movement, ensuring reliable performance in robotic arms and rotating machinery without signal loss or cable failure.
-
Integrated Hybrid Design: Combines four high-current power conductors and four flexible control conductors in a single, streamlined cable. This simplifies system design, reduces installation complexity, and decreases overall weight and space requirements in cable carriers.
-
Exceptional Flexibility & Durability: Constructed with finely stranded, high-flex conductors (DIN VDE 0295 class 6) and a specialized oil-resistant PUR jacket, it is built to withstand millions of flexing cycles and exposure to harsh industrial environments.
-
EMI Protection: Features an overall braided copper shield that provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity for sensitive control circuits.
-
Reliability in Continuous Motion: Its robust construction is engineered to minimize downtime and maintenance costs by providing a dependable connection for both motor power and sensor/actuator signals.
Technical Specifications
Applications
This hybrid cable is the ideal solution for dynamic industrial environments that require a single, robust cable for both motor power and control signals. Its primary applications include:
-
Industrial Robots (6-axis arms, welding robots, handling robots)
-
CNC Machine Tools (spindles, automatic tool changers, rotary axes)
-
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
-
Packaging and Palletizing Machinery
-
Gantry Systems and Stacker Cranes
-
Any application requiring reliable performance under torsion and continuous flexing.
Compatibility & Integration Notes
-
The "MIL50" designation refers to a specific, high-quality PHOENIX CONTACT cable family known for its exceptional durability in motion control.
-
The integrated shielding is crucial for protecting sensitive control signals (e.g., encoder feedback, sensor data) from EMI generated by power conductors and external sources like motor drives.
-
Always adhere to the specified minimum bending radius during installation to maximize the service life of the cable.
