Servo cables connect the drive and the motor, and their quality directly affects the precision, efficiency and service life of your automation equipment. This guide helps you pick the right cable for your line.
1. Match the cable to your drive and motor
Different servo systems use different cable specifications. Siemens V90, S120, S200 and S200C series each have their own power cable, encoder feedback cable and signal cable requirements. Always select cables matched to the exact drive and motor model to guarantee drop-in compatibility.
2. Choose the right cable type
For moving applications, use high-flex drag chain cables rated for continuous bending. For fixed installation, standard cables are sufficient. Encoder feedback cables must maintain stable signal integrity to protect positioning accuracy.
3. Consider the environment
Check temperature range, oil resistance, shielding and bending radius. Premium materials and good shielding protect against interference and extend cable life in harsh factory environments.
