Lapp launches 'seven in one'

January 2012 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

New Ölflex Servo FD motor cable offers optimum efficiency in drag chains.

Lapp’s new Ölflex Servo FD 796 FD CP motor cable is being launched with the tag line ‘Seven in One’ with good reason. The new premium cable can replace seven servo motor cables at once, offering users a range of additional benefits and establishes the Stuttgart-based group at the forefront of servo cable development.

Faster, further, higher, longer and more economical, these are the challenges in modern machinery, plant and machine tool design. Increasingly, large work pieces have to be kept as small and lightweight as possible; the same applies to electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and optical connecting cables.

High-speed multiple changes of position is exactly where the new premium cable from Lapp shows excellence at speeds of up to 5 m/s and travel distances up to 3 m. This makes work considerably faster and more efficient than was possible with previous drag chain cables. In addition, the proportional run-up and braking times have been reduced by up to 96%. In short, the new premium cable increases productivity, offers a long service life and is compact and lightweight.

Thanks to low capacitance polyolefin insulation, it offers lower EM leakage currents, while providing extremely high dielectric and electric strength. It is halogen free and flame retardant and has all of the key certifications, including UL-AWM, CSA AWM and VDE. If required, the servo motor cable is also available with additional screened signal current circuits for monitoring the temperature of the motor winding and/or an optional electromagnetic brake.
