The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1.5 connection cable from Lapp is a flexible control cable designed for use in demanding environments, particularly outdoors. It is suitable for fixed installation as well as occasional movements without tensile stress. The cable is used for powering devices and machines in various industrial sectors, delivering robust performance especially in harsh, oily, wet, or dry environments. Typical applications include washing plants, wastewater treatment plants, composting plants, and applications in the food industry where high hygiene and cleaning requirements exist.

Applications

The cable is designed for outdoor use and features high weather resistance. It is suitable for applications with UV-C radiation, according to an internal test method by Lapp. The operating temperature ranges down to -40 °C, making it suitable for cold environments. Additionally, it is normatively tested for use in fresh water up to a depth of 10 meters and at a water temperature of 40 °C. These properties make it particularly suitable for industrial plants outdoors or in humid indoor environments.

Functions and Features in Detail

The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1.5 features low-capacitance conductor insulation, suitable for long transmission distances and ensuring stable signal quality over extended lengths. Conductor identification is done by color, enabling easy assignment and wiring. The cable is made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), a material known for its high chemical resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring long service life even under harsh operating conditions.

Technology Explained Simply

The cable is rated for an operating voltage of U0/U: 450/750 V, making it suitable for use in industrial power supply networks. The TPE insulation and sheath offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including ammonia compounds, biogas, and plant, animal, or synthetic fats and oils, including bio-oils and ester-based hydraulic oils. Additionally, the cable is resistant to water-soluble cleaning and cooling agents and has been tested for use with ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents. Its hot water and steam resistance allows frequent steam cleaning without damaging the cable.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use in harsh and oily environments and is particularly well-suited for use in combination with water-soluble cleaning and cooling agents. It is suitable for use in the food industry and in facilities with high hygiene requirements, where frequent cleaning processes occur. The high chemical resistance and resistance to UV radiation increase operational safety in demanding environments.

Installation and Mounting

The cable is flexible and can be used for fixed installations as well as occasional movements without tensile stress. Installation follows standard procedures for flexible control cables, taking into account mechanical and chemical loads. Outdoor installation requires careful planning to fully utilize its weather resistance.

Operational Advantages

The ÖLFLEX® ROBUST 200 3G1.5 offers a particularly durable and weather-resistant all-weather cable. Its robust construction and wide operating temperature range of up to -40 °C to 40 °C in water enable diverse applications. High chemical resistance against oils, fats, cleaning, and disinfecting agents reduces wear and increases operational safety. The low-capacitance insulation ensures stable signal transmission over long distances, which is advantageous in industrial plants.
