The control cable ÖLFLEX 140 3G1 from Lapp is a flexible cable of type H05VV5-F, designed for wiring in industrial applications. It features three conductors, each with a cross-section of 1 mm², and is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V. The cable is suitable for medium mechanical stress and is used for fixed installation as well as for occasional movements without tensile stress. The PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis and allows use in dry, damp, and particularly in oily environments. Conductor identification is done by numbers, ensuring clear assignment during wiring operations.

Control cable is the primary product type, intended for transmitting control signals in machines and plants. The cable is universally used to wire internal machine and plant-wide control circuits. The type H05VV5-F is a harmonized European cable type, marked with the test symbol ¿HAR¿, which certifies tested safety and quality. This marking enables broad acceptance and use across Europe.

Oil resistance is a central feature of this control cable. It meets the requirements of DIN EN 50363-4-1 (TM5), indicating enhanced resistance to mineral oils and greases. This makes the cable particularly suitable for use in manufacturing industries, where oil and grease contamination is common. The PVC insulation and outer sheath are designed to maintain electrical and mechanical properties even after prolonged exposure to oily media.

PVC as material for insulation and outer sheath offers good mechanical strength and chemical resistance. It is resistant to moisture, acids, and alkalis, expanding its application possibilities in various industrial environments. The flexible construction of the cable allows easy installation and mounting, especially in tight or complex wiring situations.

The cable is designed for use in dry, damp, and oily environments, with the specific oil resistance enabling use in areas with increased contamination risk. Typical applications include machine building, plant engineering, and automation technology, where reliable signal transmission under industrial conditions is required.

H05VV5-F is the official designation of the harmonized cable type, widely used in the EU. The marking with ¿HAR¿ guarantees that the cable complies with European standards and has been tested. This facilitates approval and use in various countries and industries.

The cable is intended for fixed installation, with occasional movements without tensile stress permitted. This makes it suitable for applications where the cable is not permanently moved but occasionally repositioned or adjusted, for example, on movable machine parts or in enclosures with limited movement.

The cable is flame retardant, meaning it shows no or only minimal flame propagation when exposed to fire, thus reducing the fire load in the installation. This is an important safety aspect, especially in enclosed spaces such as enclosures or machine cabins.

Wiring is typically performed in machines, plants, and control systems, where the cable transmits signals between control devices, sensors, actuators, and other components. The flexible structure and robust insulation ensure reliable performance even under industrial operating conditions.

The ÖLFLEX 140 3G1 control cable is thus a universally applicable solution for wiring in industrial plants, meeting high demands for mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical reliability. The combination of flexible design, oil-resistant PVC insulation, and harmonized type H05VV5-F makes it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and automation technology.
