The control cable ÖLFLEX® 191 7G4 from Lapp is a flexible multi-purpose cable for use in industrial plants and machines. It is designed for medium mechanical stress and is suitable for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable is specifically designed for use in dry, damp, and oily environments, with the PVC outer sheath offering high resistance to acids and alkalis. Conductor identification is done by numbers, enabling clear assignment of individual conductors. The cable is equipped with multiple certifications, enabling universal use in various regions and reducing part variety.
Applications
ÖLFLEX® 191 7G4 is universally applicable for wiring machine-internal and plant-wide control circuits. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring increased oil resistance, such as in manufacturing industry, packaging technology, or automation technology. The cable can be used in dry, damp, and oily environments, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial scenarios.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable features increased oil resistance according to DIN EN 50363-4-1 (TM5), ensuring longer service life and higher reliability in oily environments. The PVC insulation and outer sheath are designed to provide high mechanical and chemical resistance. Number-based conductor identification simplifies installation and maintenance, as conductor assignment is unambiguous. The cable is flexible and allows easy installation, even in tight bending radii.
Technology Explained Simply
The control cable is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V, making it suitable for use in typical industrial control circuits. The test voltage is 4000 V, ensuring high electrical safety. Reduced wall thicknesses of the insulation and outer sheath enable space-saving use, especially in compact machine construction. UL and CSA certification allows use in the North American market, making the cable suitable for international projects.
Compatibility and Accessories
ÖLFLEX® 191 7G4 is available in various conductor cross-sections up to 120 mm², enabling flexible adaptation to different requirements. The multiple certification, including UL, CSA, and EAC, expands the range of applications and reduces the need to use different cables for different regions. The cable is designed for use in oily environments, making it particularly suitable for plants with hydraulic or oil-based systems.
Installation and Mounting
The flexible construction of the cable allows easy and quick installation, even in confined spaces. Number-based conductor identification simplifies installation and future maintenance. The cable is designed for fixed installation but can also be moved occasionally, as long as no tensile stress occurs. Reduced wall thicknesses minimize space requirements and facilitate installation in compact machine construction.
Operational Advantages
The increased oil resistance and high electrical safety due to the 4000 V test voltage ensure reliable and safe cable performance in operation. Multiple certification reduces part variety and enables universal use, lowering logistics costs. The space-saving design with reduced wall thicknesses is particularly advantageous in compact machine applications. The cable is suitable for use in oily environments, increasing its service life and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
