TRATOS Servo CP cable

Tratos Servo cables are specialised cables crucial for motion control systems, particularly those incorporating servo motors or stepper motors. Serving as a vital link within these systems, they facilitate the transmission of signals and power between the frequency converter, which supplies energy to the motor and the motor itself. With their role in communication, Tratos servo cables enable precise control over motor speed, position, and torque, thus playing a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth and accurate operation of servo motor systems. Carefully designed to meet the specific demands of such applications, Tratos servo cables highlight attributes like precision, reliability, and flexibility, making them indispensable components in motion control setups.

Key Features of Tratos Servo Cables

Precision Control

Servo motors are employed in applications where precise control of movement, position, speed, and torque is essential. Tratos Servo cables facilitate the transmission of control signals from the controller to the motor, enabling accurate and responsive operation. The design of Tratos servo cables ensures minimal signal loss or interference, preserving the integrity of control signals and facilitating precise motor control.

Reliability

In industrial environments and other demanding applications, reliability is paramount. Tratos Servo cables are engineered to withstand the rigours of continuous operation, mechanical stress, and environmental factors such as temperature variations, humidity, oil exposure, and abrasion. High-quality materials and construction techniques are utilised to ensure the longevity and reliability of Tratos servo cables under challenging conditions.

Flexibility

Many servo applications involve moving components or machinery, necessitating cables that can bend, twist, and flex without compromising performance or durability. Tratos Servo cables are designed with flexibility in mind. This flexibility reduces the risk of cable damage and ensures uninterrupted operation of the servo system.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Protection

EMI can disrupt the operation of electronic devices and degrade signal quality, particularly in industrial settings where electrical noise is prevalent. Tratos Servo cables often incorporate shielding layers to mitigate the effects of EMI, protecting sensitive control signals from external interference and ensuring reliable communication between the controller and motor.

Voltage and Current Ratings of the servo cable

Servo cables should be rated to handle the voltage and current levels required by the servo motor system. They are designed to safely conduct power from the controller or power source to the motor while minimising electrical losses and heat generation. Proper sizing and selection of Tratos servo cables are crucial to ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating or electrical failures.

Feedback Capability

Some servo systems utilise feedback mechanisms, such as encoders or resolvers, to provide real-time information about the motor’s position, velocity, and other parameters. Tratos Servo cables may include dedicated conductors for transmitting feedback signals from the motor back to the controller, allowing for closed-loop control and enhanced precision.
