Power chain cable for high temperatures

9 June 2010 Interconnection

Lapp Kabel’s new OLFLEX FD Robust range of control and connection cables are specifically designed for cable chain applications with small bending radii and at temperatures up to +105°C.

PVC and PUR sheathed cables can become brittle and lose their flexibility at temperatures over 80°C, but the OLFLEX FD Robust range maintains its flexibility even at temperatures over 100°C and at high 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 this cable highly resistant against natural oil, softeners, cooling and liquid agents as well as acid, caustic soda and solvents (for example alcohol and glycol) at room temperatures, and reportedly has a considerably longer service life than PVC or PUR sheathed cables. 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.
