Servo customization by TKD Kabel: 3 become 1

From motor to converter with just a single cable? It may sound audacious. After all, the power supply and transmission of signals must be able to take place without interference. Only then can the speeds and positioning of servo motors be controlled precisely. But at TKD Kabel, this is exactly what happens. The Nettetal-based supplier of cables and wires offers a special servo assembly service.

In its service, TKD combines servo cable assemblies with hybrid cables. The servo hybrid cables created in this way connect the motor and converter with only one cable instead of the usual two or three. This single-cable solution combines the power supply, transmission of the sensor signals and brake control in a single cable. The advantage is obvious: the solution requires significantly less space and time, since only one cable needs to be laid. TKD manufactures the servo assemblies to the standards of the main motor manufacturers. This means that machines in automation, drive, control and production technology and other areas can be connected as quickly as possible without additional configurations.

One Cable Technology also as a cable series

TKD Kabel also offers servo and hybrid cables as a product series. The latest development here is the KAWEFLEX 5288 OCT series. OCT stands for One Cable Technology. This cable series enables up to 50 percent more compact cabling. The cables are temperature resistant up to 90°C and compatible with the protocols of the leading drive systems. The shielding is assured by a tinned copper braid, which offers high protection against electromagnetic interference. The RoHS-compliant and UL/CSA-certified cable has a long service life of up to 10 million flexing cycles. KAWEFLEX 5288 OCT comprises more than 15 different hybrid cable types. TKD thus offers one of the most extensive portfolios of hybrid cables for highly dynamic applications.
