SICK Female 4 way Straight to Male 4 way Straight Sensor Actuator Cable, 5 m

This sensor actuator cable provides a rugged connection for industrial sensing and actuation tasks, offering a 5m M8-to-M8 cordset for signal and power transmission in automated systems. It is designed for use where environmental sealing and flexible movement are required, delivering four-conductor connectivity with a polyurethane jacket suited to factory and machinery environments.

• IP65/IP66K/IP67 protection enabling outdoor or washdown use
• 4A current capacity supporting common sensor/actuator loads
• Rated for ≤60V DC operation for low-voltage control circuits
• PUR halogen-free jacket resisting oils and lubricants
• 10,000,000 bending cycles enabling long flexible service life
• Drag-chain capable for motion systems with 10m travel distance

• Suitable for connecting proximity sensors to control panels in conveyors
• Ideal for servo feedback devices within moving cable carriers
• Used for linking actuators in robotics requiring torsion capability
• Can be used for sensor networks in machine tools exposed to oils
• used with distributed I/O modules in automated assembly lines

The cable terminates in straight A-coded M8 connectors with a female contact at one end and a male contact at the other, each having four contacts.

It withstands torsion tests up to 2,000,000 cycles and 180° per metre torsion load for dynamic installations.

In flexible use and drag-chain operation it is rated from −25°C to +80°C, while stationary use extends down to −40°C.

Connectors use screw locking with a calibrated tightening torque of 0.4 Nm and FKM Seals for ingress protection.

For flexible and drag-chain use maintain a bending radius greater than 10x cable diameter and greater than 5x diameter for stationary runs.
