Shorten or Extend Wires
This section details how to shorten or extend motor wires. Two configurations are shown: 'Assembly without connector' and 'Assembly with connector (Stepper Motors only)'.
Assembly without connector
Depicts a component with two wires (A) extending from it.
Assembly with connector (Stepper Motors only)
Depicts a component with a connector, and wires (A) extending from it.
Wires can be extended by soldering wires of the same color. A protection sleeve can be used if necessary. The standard gap (C) between the protection sleeve and the motor is 5 mm (tolerance ±5 mm).
For motors with a connector at the cable end, replacing the connector changes the cable length tolerance from +10 mm to ±10 mm.
Wire Dimensions:
- (A) Length of the wire: in mm (tolerance +10 mm)
- (B) Length of the protection sleeve: in mm (tolerance +10 mm)
- (C) Gap between protection sleeve and motor: (tolerance ±5 mm)
Connector
Protection sleeve
Datasheets for connectors are available for: PA-F Series, PH Series, VH Series, XH Series, ZH Series, Micro-Fit Series.
Connect Windings
Cable connection for 6- or 8-wire motors
| Pin | Function |
|---|---|
| 1 | none |
| 2 | none |
| 3 | none |
| 4 | none |
| 5 | none |
| 6 | none |
| 7 | none |
| 8 | none |
For series connection (one half of the winding), the unused wires are shortened to approximately 2-3 cm, twisted if necessary, and soldered, then insulated with black heat-shrink tubing. For parallel connection, wires are shortened to approximately 3-5 cm, twisted, extended with a wire of the same color, soldered, and insulated with black heat-shrink tubing. Without a connector, wire ends are stripped 5±1 mm.
* Black heat-shrink tubing: polyolefin, UL certification; spiral tubing: natural, PE.
** Further details are available in the motor datasheet on the website.

Specific Wire Color Extensions:
- DB22: Red motor wire extended with orange wire; brown motor wire extended with white wire.
- DBL36: Motor wires AWG 24 will be extended with wires AWG 22.
- ST5918D: Yellow and yellow/white motor wires extended with blue and blue/white wires.
- SC41-SC60: No wires included. No extension possible; choose connector type.

Delivery and Ordering Information:
If a motor is in stock, delivery time is approximately one week for 1-24 pieces and approximately two weeks for 25 or more pieces. Check website for stock availability.
Wire extension is not possible for brake or encoder components when combined with a motor.
