Product Information

Full details

This LAPP ÖLFLEX Special Polyurethane Spiral Cable is designed for demanding environments in machine building and automation where shielded, compact cables are essential. Its key benefit is the ability to extend up to three times its coiled length while maintaining high restoring forces and resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion. A potential consideration is its flexing temperature range, which is best suited for moderate operational conditions.

FAQs

What is the maximum extension length of this spiral cable?

The cable can extend up to three times its unextended spiral length. For this 0.5 m cable, the maximum extended length is 1.5 m.

What kind of resistance does the polyurethane sheath offer?

The Special Polyurethane sheath provides high resistance to chemicals, oils, and abrasion, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Can this cable be used in very cold or hot environments?

The flexing temperature range for this cable is between 5 °C and 50 °C. It is not designed for use outside this range.

What is the purpose of the shielding in this cable?

The shielding helps to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity in control and power applications within noisy electrical environments.

How long are the drawn ends of the cable?

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

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

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

What is the core insulation material?

The core insulation material is PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).

Troubleshooting

Cable does not extend fully or retracts slowly.

Verify that the cable is not being stretched beyond its 3:1 expansion ratio. Ensure there are no obstructions or pinching points along its path. Check that the operating temperature is within the specified 5-50 °C range.

Loss of signal or intermittent connection.

Inspect the termination points for secure connections. Ensure the cable's shielded design is properly grounded. Check for any visible damage to the cable sheath or insulation.

Sheath shows signs of degradation (swelling, cracking).

Confirm that the environment does not expose the cable to chemicals or substances not listed in Appendix T1 or outside its chemical resistance profile. Ensure operation is within the recommended temperature range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent chemical, oil, and abrasion resistance for industrial use.
  • High flexibility with a 3:1 extension ratio.
  • Compact and shielded design for space-constrained applications.
  • Durable construction with a polyurethane sheath and PVC insulation.
  • UV resistance for outdoor or exposed applications.

Cons

  • Flexing temperature range is limited to 5 - 50 °C.
  • Specific chemical resistance is detailed in Appendix T1, requiring verification for certain substances.
  • Drawn ends are pre-cut to specific lengths (200 mm and 600 mm), which may require adaptation.
  • Not intended for extreme temperature environments.
  • Spiral design may not be suitable for all static or rigidly fixed applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The LAPP ÖLFLEX Spiral 400 P is designed for direct integration into machine and control systems. Ensure the drawn ends are correctly terminated according to your system's requirements. The cable's flexibility allows it to be routed through conduits or along machinery paths, extending as needed. For optimal performance and to prevent damage, do not exceed the 3:1 extension ratio (e.g., a 0.5 m cable can extend to 1.5 m).

Compatibility: This cable is suitable for use as control and power cables in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems. It features standard PVC insulation and a PUR sheath, making it compatible with many industrial environments. Always verify specific chemical compatibility with Appendix T1 if your application involves unusual solvents or substances.

Care: To maintain performance, keep the cable clean. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh solvents that could degrade the PUR sheath. Ensure the cable operates within its specified flexing temperature range of 5 to 50 °C. Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear or damage, particularly at the termination points and where it experiences the most movement.
