Servo cable for energy chains
What are servo cables?
In electrical engineering, we refer to the connection cable for a servo drive as a servo cable. It connects the frequency converter to the motor. The fact that the frequency converter constitutes the energy supply for the motor means that we can adjust the speed by adjusting the shape of the voltage curve. This is normally done with pulse width modulation, which means spikes on the voltage curve.
The servo cable must therefore have a higher voltage class (600V/1000V) and an overall shield. Because servo motors have a temperature sensor and/or brake, the cable includes two more shielded pairs for these functions.

Dual Shielding for Reliable Servo Cable Performance
chainflex® servo cables feature two types of shielding to ensure safe, interference-free operation in demanding industrial environments:
- Overall Shielding: Protects against external electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable EMC performance and preventing disruption to nearby machine components.
- Individual Pair Shielding: Specifically shields brake and temperature sensor pairs, preventing internal interference from power cores that could affect the frequency converter’s control signals.
For high-stress applications, our premium cables offer up to 90% mechanical coverage, using advanced materials and designs that combine robust EMC protection with fast, efficient processing during installation.
