Product Information

Full details

This LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral Cable is designed for control and power applications in machinery, mechanical engineering, and automation systems. Its key benefit is the high-tensile polyurethane sheath offering excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion, combined with a 3:1 expansion ratio for flexibility. A potential caveat is the specific temperature range for flexing, which should be considered for extreme environments. This guide will help you understand its features and optimal use.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum recommended extension for this spiral cable?

The cable can be extended up to three times its un-extended spiral length (a 3:1 ratio). For the 2-meter cable, this means a maximum usable length of approximately 6 meters.

What types of chemicals is this cable resistant to?

It offers high resistance to benzols, benzines, and other substances listed in Appendix T1 of the LAPP specifications. It also has good resistance to oils and abrasion.

What is the core insulation material?

The core insulation material is special PVC P8/1.

Can this cable be used in very cold environments?

The recommended temperature range for flexing is 5 to 50 °C. Use in colder temperatures, especially during flexing, is not recommended and may lead to damage.

What are the dimensions of the cable ends?

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

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

The cable is UV resistant, which can be beneficial for some outdoor applications. However, ensure it is protected from direct environmental extremes and used within its specified temperature and flexing parameters.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable diameter is approximately 6.9 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cable does not extend fully or retract properly.

Ensure the cable is not kinked or damaged. Check that it is not being pulled beyond its 3:1 expansion limit or used outside the specified flexing temperature range (5-50 °C).

Intermittent signal loss or power interruption.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage to the sheath or at the termination points. Ensure connections are secure and that the core insulation (PVC P8/1) is intact. Verify that the cable is not exposed to chemicals beyond its resistance rating.

Sheath appears degraded or softened.

The cable may be exposed to incompatible chemicals or excessive temperatures. Refer to the LAPP resistance charts and ensure the operating environment is within the specified limits.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent chemical, oil, and abrasion resistance.
  • High flexibility due to 3:1 expansion ratio.
  • Durable construction for industrial environments.
  • Reliable performance with bare copper conductors.
  • Good shape retention with high restoring forces.

Cons

  • Flexing temperature range is limited to 5-50°C.
  • Specific end lengths may require adaptation in some installations.
  • Not designed for continuous movement or applications requiring extreme cold flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the cable is installed within its specified temperature range (5-50 °C for flexing). The drawn ends are pre-cut for straightforward connection. Use appropriate cable glands and termination methods suitable for polyurethane sheathed cables.

Compatibility: This cable is designed as a control and power cable for use in machines, mechanical engineering, and automation systems. It is compatible with standard industrial connectors and control systems. Verify conductor size (1.5 mm²) and core count (3) match your system requirements.

Care: Clean the outer sheath with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents that are not listed in Appendix T1 of the LAPP specifications, as they may damage the polyurethane. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage to the sheath or insulation. Do not exceed the 3:1 extension limit to prevent damage and maintain cable integrity.
