LAPP ÖLFLEX Special Polyurethane Spiral Cable, Grey Sheath - LAPP 70002661, This LAPP OLFLEX Spira...LAPP ÖLFLEX Special Polyurethane Spiral Cable, Grey Sheath - LAPP 70002661, This LAPP OLFLEX Spiral Cable has an outer sheath made of Special Polyurethane. This spiral cable is ideal for use wherever shielded cables with the smallest dimensions are required, e.g., as control and power cables in machines and mechanical engineering and automatic control systems. The spiral cable is able to extend up to 3 times the un-extended spiral length. The cable has been manufactured from bare copper wires with special PVC P8/1 core insulation. LAPP 70002661 ÖLFLEX 400P Polyurethane Spiral Cable 5x1mm Grey 1.5m. The notch ductile PUR spiral cable with high restoring forces. The ratio of expansion is 3:1, i.e. a spiral cable with a closed length of 500 mm can be pulled out to three times its length, to 1500 mm. The drawn ends are each straight cut and 200 mm (end 1) or 600 mm (end 2) long respectively. UV resistant.

Product Information
Full details
The LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P cable is designed for use in demanding industrial environments where flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals are crucial. Its key benefit is the ability to extend up to three times its unextended length, offering significant reach and maneuverability in machinery and automated systems. A potential consideration is its specialized polyurethane sheath, which requires appropriate handling and storage conditions to maintain its integrity.

FAQs
What is the maximum extension length of this cable?
The LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P cable can extend up to three times its unextended spiral length. For the 0.5m model, this means it can be pulled out to approximately 1.5 meters.
What types of environments is this cable suitable for?
It is designed for demanding industrial environments, including machines, mechanical engineering, and automated control systems, due to its resistance to chemicals, oils, abrasion, and UV light.
Can this cable be used for high-voltage applications?
This cable is rated for control and power applications within typical machine voltage requirements. Its specific electrical ratings should be consulted for compliance with your system's voltage and current demands. The test voltage is 3000 V.
How should I clean the cable?
Clean the cable using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive materials that could damage the polyurethane sheath.
What is the core insulation material?
The core insulation material is special PVC P8/1.
What is the cable diameter?
The cable diameter for this model is 7.3 mm.
Is this cable shielded?
The description indicates it is ideal for use wherever shielded cables with the smallest dimensions are required, implying it is designed for such applications, though specific shielding details are not provided in the excerpt.
Troubleshooting
Cable does not extend fully or snaps back unevenly.
Check for kinks, twists, or obstructions along the cable's path. Ensure the cable has not been stretched beyond its 3:1 limit. Allow the cable to rest in a neutral position for a period to regain its spiral memory.
Loss of signal or power intermittently.
Inspect the connections at both ends for secure attachment. Examine the cable sheath for any damage that might compromise internal conductors. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or torsion beyond its specifications.
Sheath appears degraded or sticky.
This may indicate exposure to incompatible chemicals or extreme temperatures. Clean with a mild, damp cloth. If degradation is significant, the cable may need replacement. Avoid exposing the cable to the identified contaminants or unsuitable temperature conditions.
Cable is stiff and difficult to maneuver.
Verify the ambient temperature is within the specified flexing range (5-50 °C). Colder temperatures can increase stiffness. Allow the cable to acclimate to room temperature before use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent chemical, oil, and abrasion resistance for durability.
High flexibility and extension capability (3:1 ratio).
Suitable for use in machines, mechanical engineering, and automated systems.
Robust construction with PVC core insulation.
UV resistant for outdoor or exposed applications.
Cons
Spiral design may not be suitable for all static or fixed installations.
Requires specific handling to maintain the integrity of the polyurethane sheath.
Limited unextended length (0.5m for this specific model) may require careful planning.
Temperature range for flexing is restricted (5-50°C).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the cable carefully, ensuring no damage to the spiral or sheath.
For connection, strip the drawn ends of the cable according to standard electrical practices for the conductor size (1 mm²).
Connect the conductors to the appropriate terminals in your machinery or control system.
Ensure the cable is routed to allow for its full extension without over-stretching or kinking.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed as a control and power cable for use in machines, mechanical engineering, and automated control systems.
It is suitable for applications requiring shielded cables with small dimensions.
Check the number of cores (5) and conductor size (1 mm²) against your system requirements.
Observe the operating temperature range of 5-50 °C for flexing applications.
Care:
Clean the sheath with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning agents that could degrade the polyurethane.
Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage to the sheath or insulation, especially at points of maximum flex.
Do not exceed the maximum extension ratio of 3:1 to prevent permanent deformation or damage.
Store the cable in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
