Product Information

Full details

The LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P cable is designed for demanding industrial environments, offering excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion. Its key benefit is its durable, retractable spiral form factor that minimizes space requirements and prevents tangling. A potential consideration is its limited flexibility range at very low temperatures. This guide covers its features, applications, setup, and maintenance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum extension length of this spiral cable?

The cable can extend up to three times its un-extended length. For this 1m cable, the maximum extended length is approximately 3 meters.

What makes the outer sheath 'Special Polyurethane'?

The Special Polyurethane sheath provides enhanced resistance to chemicals (like benzols and benzines), oils, and abrasion compared to standard materials, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Can this cable be used in very cold environments?

The flexing temperature range is specified as 5°C to 50°C. Operation below 5°C may reduce flexibility and increase the risk of damage.

What are the electrical specifications of the cores?

Each of the 5 cores has a size of 0.75mm². The cable is rated for a test voltage of 3000V.

How should I clean the cable?

Clean the cable using a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning agents unless they are specifically listed as compatible with polyurethane in Appendix T1.

Is this cable shielded?

The product description mentions it is ideal for use where shielded cables are required, suggesting it may have shielding, but specific shielding details are not provided in the product information. It's designed for applications needing minimal dimensions.

What is the outer diameter of the cable?

The cable diameter is 6.9 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cable does not extend fully.

Ensure the cable is not being overstretched beyond its rated 3x extension. Check for any kinks or obstructions that might hinder movement.

Intermittent signal loss.

Inspect the cable for visible damage. Ensure connections at both ends are secure and free from corrosion. Verify that the core size (0.75mm²) is adequate for the signal load.

Sheath appears degraded or damaged.

Cease use immediately. The cable may have been exposed to incompatible chemicals or excessive abrasion. Replace the cable and review chemical compatibility or operating conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion.
  • Space-saving and tangle-free spiral design.
  • Durable construction for demanding industrial use.
  • Reliable signal and power transmission.
  • Suitable for dynamic movement and retraction.

Cons

  • Limited flexibility at very low temperatures (below 5°C).
  • Spiral design may be less suitable for static, long-distance runs.
  • Specific chemical resistance is detailed in Appendix T1, requiring user verification.
  • Core size of 0.75mm² may not be sufficient for very high power applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the cable is compatible with your equipment's voltage and current requirements.
  2. Gently extend the spiral cable to the desired length, avoiding overstretching beyond its three-times extension limit.
  3. Connect the cable ends according to your system's specifications.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems.
  • Ideal for applications requiring shielded cables with minimal dimensions.
  • Verify chemical resistance against specific substances listed in Appendix T1.

Care:

  • Clean the cable with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents not specified for polyurethane.
  • Operate within the specified temperature range of 5°C to 50°C for flexing.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of damage to the sheath or cores.
