New servo cables from Lapp

December 2017 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

An important feature of servo cables is their low capacitance (low attenuation) design as this enables them to bridge long distances without any loss of power. Lapp has developed two new cables which are exemplary in this regard.

Ölflex Servo 7TCE is suitable for servo drives from many leading manufacturers and has UL TC-ER and Flexible Motor Supply listings. The internal structure is complex with a core insulation made of XLPE and an outer sheath made of a special thermoplastic elastomer. This results in a low capacitance design, which enables large distances to be bypassed between the servo controller and the motor. The cable fulfils various requirements for oil resistance, flame retardance and UV resistance, all in accordance with North American standards.

ÖlflexL Servo 728 CY, a shielded encoder cable, is suitable for most analog and incremental rotary encoders in servo drives from leading manufacturers. Its core insulation made of polypropylene has low attenuation and also enables large transmission distances. The shielded cable is oil resistant and thus suitable for many mechanical engineering applications with fixed installation. Nevertheless, it is still thin and light.
