The difference between a servo cable and a motor cable

Understanding the differences between servo cables and motor cables is critical to choosing the right cable for a specific application. While they may look similar, there are significant differences in design, purpose, and performance. Below are the main differences between servo cables and motor cables to help you better understand their respective characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.


Servo cable


Purpose: Servo cable is a cable specially used to connect servo motors and their controllers or drives, and is used to transmit power, control signals and feedback signals.

Design features: Servo cables are usually designed with a multi-core structure, including power supply wires, control signal wires and feedback wires, to meet the servo system's requirements for precise control and high-speed data transmission.

Performance requirements: Servo cables are required to have excellent signal transmission characteristics, high anti-interference ability and low resistance to ensure the stability, accuracy and response speed of the servo system.

Application fields: Servo cables are widely used in automation equipment, robots, CNC machine tools and other fields that require precise position control and high-speed movement.


Motor cable


● Purpose: The motor cable is used to connect the motor and the power supply or driver. It is mainly used to transmit power signals, but does not include control signals or feedback signals.

● Design features: Motor cables are usually designed as single-core or multi-core structures, mainly including power supply conductors, and their insulation and outer sheath materials are usually thicker to protect the wires from mechanical damage and environmental effects.

● Performance requirements: Motor cables are required to have good electrical insulation properties, wear resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure the safe operation and long-term stability of the motor.

Application fields: Motor cables are widely used in various electric equipment, industrial machinery, automobiles, ships and other equipment and systems that require electric drive.


Summary of differences


● Different functions: Servo cables are used to transmit power, control signals and feedback signals, while motor cables are only used to transmit power signals.

● Design differences: Servo cables are usually designed as multi-core construction, while motor cables can be single-core or multi-core construction.

● Different application fields: Servo cables are mainly used in automation systems that require precise control and high-speed movement, while motor cables are suitable for various electrically driven equipment and systems.


To summarize, understanding the differences between servo and motor cables can help in selecting the right cable type for a specific application, ensuring system stability, performance, and reliability.
