The ÖLFLEX® FD 90 1X240 is a single-core cable from manufacturer Lapp, specifically designed for use in moving machine parts and cable chains. It belongs to the Core-Line product line and is designed for medium mechanical stress. The cable is particularly suitable for power circuits in frequency converter-driven servo motors, where high flexibility and durability are required. Due to its highly flexible construction, it is suitable for continuously moving applications involving high accelerations or medium travel distances. The PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath provide high resistance to acids, alkalis, and increased oil exposure. The cable is suitable for outdoor use, provided the temperature range is observed, and can also be used in dry, damp, and wet rooms. It is also suitable for fixed wiring in enclosures or applications with limited space and low minimum bending radii, where multi-core cables are no longer practical.

Applications
The ÖLFLEX® FD 90 1X240 is primarily used in industrial automation, especially in systems with moving components such as cable chains, robots, or moving tools. It is intended for circuits requiring higher nominal voltage due to installation conditions. The cable is designed for use in machines and systems where high mechanical stress and simultaneous flexibility are required. The UL and CSA certification enables use in the North American market, making the cable universally applicable.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features a PVC outer sheath resistant to acids, alkalis, and increased oil exposure. This makes it particularly robust in industrial environments. The highly flexible construction ensures long service life in continuously moving applications, especially in cable chains. The cable is suitable for use in dry, damp, and wet rooms, increasing its versatility. The outer sheath is black, making it visually inconspicuous in many industrial environments.

Technology Explained Simply
The ÖLFLEX® FD 90 1X240 is a single-core cable with a cross-section of 240 mm². The rated voltage is U0/U: 0.6/1 kV, meaning it is suitable for applications with operating voltages up to 1 kV. The designation Core-Line refers to Lapp's performance class, designed for long-term use with medium travel distances and increased accelerations. The UL and CSA certification indicates that the cable meets safety requirements in the North American market. The PVC insulation provides good electrical insulation and mechanical stability.

The cable is designed for use in moving machine parts and cable chains, with its highly flexible construction enabling long service life in continuous motion applications. Resistance to acids, alkalis, and oil makes it particularly suitable for industrial applications. Certification according to UL and CSA expands the application range into the North American market.

Compatibility and Accessories
The ÖLFLEX® FD 90 1X240 is suitable for use in power circuits of frequency converter-driven servo motors. It can be used in combination with other cables from the ÖLFLEX® series to create compatible systems. The multi-certification enables universal use, reducing component variety and lowering logistics costs.

Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for use in moving machine parts and cable chains. Installation typically involves wiring in enclosures or direct routing in moving components. Minimum bending radii are low due to the highly flexible construction, facilitating installation in confined spaces. The cable can also be used for fixed wiring in enclosures, especially when space constraints or low bending radii present challenges.

Operational Advantages
The ÖLFLEX® FD 90 1X240 offers high service life in continuously moving applications, especially in cable chains. Resistance to chemical influences such as acids, alkalis, and oil increases reliability in industrial environments. The UL and CSA certification enables use in the North American market, simplifying logistics and procurement. Universal applicability reduces component variety and lowers inventory costs.
