Application and Integration
The Festo NEBM-M17G12-EH-10-Q7N-LE12 is a 10-meter hybrid motor cable designed for connecting servo drives to motors in field device installations. Its hybrid design combines power and signal lines in a single cable, simplifying wiring in compact control cabinets and reducing the number of separate cables required. The cable is suitable for use in energy chains, making it a practical choice for moving axes in automated assembly, handling, and packaging systems. With a straight M17x0.75 hybrid socket on the field device end and an open end on the control side, it provides a secure, standardized connection that supports quick installation and replacement during machine setup or maintenance.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The cable is rated for DC operating voltages from 0 to 48 V and a current of 11.7 A at 40°C, with surge resistance up to 1.5 kV. It features 12 pins/wires, all occupied, and a conductor design of 4 x 0.75 mm² plus 2 x 0.5 mm² plus 6 x 0.15 mm². The cable is shielded, which helps protect signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. Its degree of protection is IP67 when mounted, and it is designed for overvoltage category I and contamination level 3. The cable sheath is made of halogen-free TPE-U (PUR) with a gray color, offering resistance to environmental factors while meeting RoHS and LABS (PWIS) conformity to VDMA24364 zone III.
Installation and Routing Flexibility
For fixed installation, the minimum bending radius is 42 mm, while for flexible installation it is 78.75 mm. The cable diameter is 10.5 mm with a tolerance of ±0.3 mm. These parameters allow for routing in tight spaces and in moving applications without compromising performance. The cable ends are prepared with cable end sleeves, and the open end is designed for insertion into control-side terminals. The screw-type lock on the field device end ensures a vibration-resistant connection, which is critical in machinery with continuous motion.
Environmental and Compliance Considerations
The NEBM-M17G12-EH-10-Q7N-LE12 operates in ambient temperatures from -40°C to 90°C for fixed installation and from -25°C to 80°C for flexible use. This wide range makes it suitable for applications in varying thermal conditions, such as near motors or in unheated production areas. The cable is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, supporting sustainability goals and regulatory compliance in many regions. It also meets EN 61984, ensuring consistent performance and safety in connector applications. The product weight of 1600 g reflects its robust construction, and the corrosion resistance class is rated as 1 (low corrosion stress), indicating suitability for typical industrial environments without aggressive chemicals.
