Lenze K-D M8W-4P-2m-PVC M8 Connection Cable 2m

Lenze K-D M8W-4P-2m-PVC M8 Connection Cable

This pre-wired cable eliminates guesswork and reduces installation time, ensuring a secure link in tight industrial environments. With a compact M8 connector and a 2-meter PVC jacket, it is a practical choice for many automation tasks.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the K-D M8W-4P-2m-PVC are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

This cable is engineered for use in automated manufacturing, packaging lines, and material handling systems where sensors and actuators require a dependable electrical link. The M8 connector is widely used in compact devices such as proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, and limit switches. The 4-pin configuration supports both signal and power in many standard sensor outputs. The PVC jacket offers good resistance to oils and chemicals in typical industrial environments, while the flexible wiring temperature range allows use in moving cable tracks with moderate flexing.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation ensures a long service life. When mating the connector, align the keyway and tighten the screw coupling to the recommended torque of 0.6 Nm. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or the O-ring seal. For fixed installations, secure the cable along its path to prevent strain on the connector. For flexible applications, ensure the bending radius is at least 10 times the sheath diameter to avoid stress fractures. Verify that the operating voltage and current do not exceed the rated values of ≤250 VAC/DC and ≤4 A per contact.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the cable for cuts, abrasions, or kinks, especially in areas where it flexes. Check the connector for signs of corrosion or loose fit. Clean the mating surfaces with a dry cloth if contamination is present. The self-locking screw fitting helps maintain a vibration-resistant connection, but re-torque if necessary. Always disconnect power before performing any inspection or maintenance.

Compatibility & Integration

The K-D M8W-4P-2m-PVC is a standard M8 axial connector, making it compatible with a wide range of M8-equipped sensors and actuators from various manufacturers. The 4-pin layout follows industry-standard pin assignments, but always verify the pinout against your device's datasheet. The 2-meter length is suitable for short to medium runs from the sensor to a junction box or controller. The PVC cable is UL-rated and meets CE requirements for industrial use.
