July 2015
News
Magnet has been appointed distributor for the Lapp Group in southern Africa.
“Magnet’s carefully structured expansion programme encompasses a strategy to extend the product range to meet exact market demand,” says Brian Howarth, managing director, Magnet. “The company has secured the exclusive supply, service and distribution agreements with some of the world’s most respected manufacturers. The addition of quality branded Lapp cables and accessories enhance Magnet’s service to a broader customer base.”
Important products in the Lapp range include the Olflex range of oil resistant and highly flexible power and control cables, suitable for many applications, including control systems, assembly lines, control panels and data processing equipment.
A mainstay of the brand, Olflex Classic 110 cables are number coded multi-conductor power and control cables, designed for use in all electrical equipment in dry, damp or wet conditions.
This series, with VDE certification of conformity with factory surveillance, is available in a wide choice of standardised lengths and individual cuts. There are more than 140 items in this range, with up to 100 conductors.
These flame retardant cables, which are constructed from fine wire strands made of bare copper wires, have special PVC-blend insulation and cores twisted in layers. There is an Olflex cable to suit the full range of industrial installations – from fixed to highly flexible as used in power chains or moving machine parts and robots.
In power chains and with occasional flexing, Olflex 110 cables can with withstand temperatures up to +70°C and in fixed installations, the temperature range is between -40°C and +80°C. In occasional flexing, the minimum bending radius is 10 times the outer diameter, in power chains it is 15 times the outer diameter and in fixed installations it is four times.
To complete and secure every installation, Lapp offers Skintop cable glands and Epic connectors. If additional protection is required, Lapp recommends Silvyn protective cable conduit systems and cable carrier systems.
Magnet supports this range with a technical advisory, installation and maintenance service throughout southern Africa.
