Product Information

Full details

The LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P is a robust PUR spiral cable designed for demanding industrial applications in machinery, plant construction, and tool manufacturing. Its key benefit is exceptional resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion, ensuring durability in harsh environments. A caveat to consider is its specific temperature range for flexing applications. This cable features a 3:1 extension ratio, a polyurethane sheath, and straight-cut ends for easy connection, making it ideal for control and power applications requiring flexibility and resilience.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum extension length of this cable?

This cable has a 3:1 extension ratio, meaning it can be extended up to three times its closed length. For the 1.5m cable, this is approximately 4.5 meters.

What types of chemicals is this cable resistant to?

The ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P offers high resistance to benzols, benzines, and other substances listed in Appendix T1 of the LAPP specifications. It also has good oil resistance.

What are the dimensions of the straight-cut ends?

The cable features straight-cut ends with one end measuring 200mm and the other measuring 600mm.

What is the operational temperature range for flexing?

The cable is designed for flexing applications within a temperature range of +5 to +50 °C.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

Yes, the cable is UV resistant, making it suitable for applications exposed to sunlight.

What is the core insulation material?

The core insulation material is special PVC P8/1.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable diameter is 7.5 mm.

Troubleshooting

Cable not retracting fully

Ensure the cable is not snagged or obstructed. Avoid overstretching the cable beyond its 3:1 ratio limit, which can cause permanent deformation. Allow the cable to rest in its coiled state for a period.

Reduced flexibility after use

Check if the cable has been exposed to temperatures outside its operational range or subjected to excessive force. Inspect for any kinks or damage that might impede movement.

Signs of chemical damage on the sheath

While resistant, extreme or prolonged exposure to incompatible chemicals can degrade the polyurethane. Clean the affected area with a mild solution and inspect for structural integrity. Replace if significant damage is present.

Poor electrical connection

Verify that the straight-cut ends are securely connected to the terminals. Check the integrity of the bare copper conductors and PVC insulation for any signs of damage or corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion for industrial durability.
  • High degree of flexibility due to the 3:1 extension ratio.
  • Durable construction with high mechanical strength.
  • Suitable for demanding applications in machinery and plant engineering.
  • UV resistant for outdoor or exposed environments.

Cons

  • Limited flexing temperature range (-5 to +50 °C).
  • Specific straight-cut end lengths may require adapters for certain setups.
  • Primarily designed for industrial use, may be over-specified for consumer electronics.
  • Requires careful handling to maintain spiral integrity during extreme stretching.
  • Not specified for extreme cold or heat applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the connection points are clean and dry before attaching the cable ends.
  2. Carefully extend the spiral cable to the required length, avoiding sharp or excessive pulling.
  3. Connect the 200mm straight-cut end to one device and the 600mm straight-cut end to the other, ensuring a secure fit.

Compatibility:

  • This cable is designed for use in industrial machinery, plant construction, and toolbuilding.
  • Suitable for control and power applications.
  • Compatible with standard industrial connectors and termination methods.
  • Recommended for applications requiring high mechanical strength and resistance to oils and chemicals.

Care:

  • Clean the cable sheath with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the polyurethane.
  • Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of wear or damage, especially at points of maximum flex.
  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to temperatures outside its specified flexing range of -5 to +50 °C.
  • When not in use, allow the cable to retract naturally to its coiled state to prevent permanent deformation.
