Single-Cable Solution For Servo Drive Technology
SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 2014) – All motors normally need two separate cables: one for the motor speed encoder and the other for the motor power supply. With the Hybrid Motor Cable Project called HMC 6, HEIDENHAIN has integrated the encoder lines into the power cable so now only one cable is needed between a synchronous motor and electrical cabinet. All the lines for the encoders, motors and brakes are now available in one cable, thus reducing hardware and associated costs. The connection of the new HMC 6 (Hybrid Motor Cable with 6 litz wires for measuring) single-cable to the motor is
