M23 Connectors

M23 cordsets are available with orange jackets as power cables and with a green jackets for signals. They are an established solution for connecting servo motors with a 1.0 connector size. So far, you had to wire connector solutions for M23 applications from many individual parts. However, this solution wasn't good enough: many users complain about lacking seal, inadequate behavior when exposed to shock and vibration and time-consuming and inconvenient assembly.

Murrelektronik offers M8 and M12 connectors for the sensor/actuator level that solve these problems. Murrelektronik has gained valuable production experience in connectors which is the basis for the development and production of Murrelektronik's new M23 connectors that interface between servo controllers and motors.
At first, Murrelektronik will produce cables that connect Siemens servo controllers to Siemens motors. M23 connectors with different contact layouts will be available for the motor side. For the servo controller side, power cables with precise connectors for Siemens controllers and various pre-wired or open ended wires are offered; signal cables are equipped with Sub-D connectors. A large number of DRIVE CLiQ connectors will also be available.

Murrelektronik's M23 connectors are an excellent solution for connecting servo motors to servo controllers.

They ensure perfect seal: a very resistant and halogen-free PUR molding ensure sealed connections according to IP67/68. The cables are tamper proof and firmly connected to the connector housing which ensures maximum strain relief. The screw thread enables simple, safe and sealed assembly - carried out, of course, with the torque wrench and not with a pipe wrench. By using the torque wrench, you make sure that the connections are perfectly tightened with a pre-defined torque. Installation is simple, even in hard to reach spaces.

Shock and vibration are no longer an issue: the connectors feature an integrated anti-vibration lock. This mechanism prevents the connectors from loosening and provides permanently sealed connections. The benefit: no re-tightening and no maintenance required.

Easy assembly without wiring errors: The cables are firmly molded and 100% tested which makes them tamper-proof. This increases system safety and reduces sources of error. A coding arrow is a visual installation aid.

But that's not all: Murrelektronik's M23 connectors have even more features:

• A 360° shielding guarantee high EMC immunity.
• Weight reduced by 30% means less total weight in comparison to plug connectors with full metal housing, an interesting feature for applications with servo motors on movable slides.
• An integrated corrugated tubing connection. Dirt and mechanical environments often requires the use of corrugated tubing. Murrelektronik's solution works without having to use adapters and cable ties - a convenient feature for customers that prefer installations with corrugated tubing.
• Murrelektronik only uses only high-quality PUR cables. They correspond to the quality of Siemens MC800+ cables.
• Murrelektronik produces in steps of 10 centimeters, from 1 piece order quantity
