Product Information

Full details

The LAPP ÖLFLEX SPIRAL 400 P is a grey, high-performance PUR spiral cable designed for demanding applications in machine construction and engineering. Its key benefit is a high expansion ratio of 3:1, allowing it to stretch to three times its closed length, ideal for dynamic use. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, making it best suited for environments requiring high chemical and mechanical resistance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the expansion ratio of this spiral cable?

The ÖLFLEX SPIRAL 400 P has a high expansion ratio of 3:1, meaning it can be stretched to three times its closed length.

What makes this cable suitable for harsh environments?

It features a special polyurethane outer sheath that offers high resistance to oils, chemicals (like benzenes and petrols), and abrasion, along with UV resistance.

What are the lengths of the drawn ends?

The drawn ends are straight cut and are 200 mm long for one end and 600 mm long for the other end.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

Yes, the cable is UV resistant, making it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is a factor.

What types of applications is this cable ideal for?

It is ideal for use as control and power cables in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems, particularly where shielded cables with small dimensions are required and dynamic movement is present.

How should I clean the cable?

Clean the cable with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive materials.

What is the material of the core insulation?

The core insulation is made of special PVC P8/1.

Troubleshooting

Cable not returning to original length

Ensure the cable is not extended beyond its 3:1 maximum ratio. Check for any obstructions or kinks that may be preventing it from retracting fully. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the recommended operating range.

Outer sheath shows signs of chemical damage

While resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme concentrations of certain chemicals may still cause degradation. Identify the specific chemical and consult LAPP's chemical resistance charts for confirmation. Replace the cable if significant damage is observed.

Loss of conductivity

Inspect the drawn ends for secure connections. Check the integrity of the core insulation. If the issue persists, it may indicate internal conductor damage, and the cable should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion enhances longevity.
  • High 3:1 expansion ratio offers significant operational flexibility.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding industrial environments.
  • UV resistance adds versatility for varied installation locations.
  • Compact design fits well in space-constrained applications.

Cons

  • Specialized PUR material may not be suitable for all temperature ranges.
  • Specific drawn end lengths (200mm and 600mm) might require careful planning.
  • Requires specific applications to fully leverage its high-performance features.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard non-spiral cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: When installing the ÖLFLEX SPIRAL 400 P, ensure the minimum bending radius and maximum extension limit (3:1 ratio) are respected to prevent damage. The drawn ends are designed for direct connection to control panels or machinery.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for use as control and power cables in machines and mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems. It is compatible with standard cable glands and connection systems designed for spiral cables. Ensure the voltage and current ratings meet your application requirements.

Care: Clean the cable with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive materials, as these can damage the PUR sheath. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear or damage, especially at the points of maximum flex. Ensure the cable is protected from excessive heat or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight unless its UV resistance is specifically needed.
