For many years Lapp has been instrumental in cables for positive guidance systems and its extensive range of OLFLEX FD cables have been used in numerous applications where flexibility and durability are paramount.
Lapp has recently introduced a new range to complement the existing cables. The OLFLEX FD Robust control and connection cables are specifically designed for cable chain applications with small bending radii and temperatures up to +105°C. PVC and PUR sheathed cables can become brittle and lose their flexibility at temperatures over 80°C. The OLFLEX FD Robust range maintains its flexibility at higher temperatures and humidity. This cable is therefore suitable for use in machine and plant construction, and guarantees the operation of essential industrial processes at high temperatures.
In addition, the increased chemical resistance permits use in the food processing industry, medical equipment, car wash systems and milling machines operating with natural oils.
The specially developed insulation and sheath combination of TPE P 4/11 makes OLFLEX FD Robust outstandingly resistant to natural oil, softeners, cooling and liquid agents as well as acid, caustic soda and solvents (eg, alcohol and glycol), and has a considerably longer service life than PVC or PUR sheathed cables.
This prevents expensive downtime and assures reliable operation of machinery and equipment where the cable is installed. P 4/11 is weatherproof and UV resistant making OLFLEX FD Robust suitable for outdoor use in temperatures down to -40°C. A copper braided screened version is also available – OLFLEX FD Robust C.
