The control cable ÖLFLEX 140 CY 18G0,75 from Lapp is a flexible, shielded cable of the harmonized type H05VVC4V5-K, designed for wiring in industrial applications. It is suitable for moderate mechanical stress and is used for fixed installation as well as for occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable is suitable for use in dry, damp, and especially in oily environments, with the PVC outer sheath being resistant to acids and alkalis. Conductor identification is done by numbering, enabling secure assignment during wiring operations.

Applications
This control cable is universally applicable for machine-internal and plant-wide control circuits. It is frequently used in automation technology, manufacturing industry, and plants with increased oil loading. The oil-resistant design according to DIN EN 50363-4-1 (TM5) makes it particularly suitable for environments where oils or fats may come into contact with the cable without damaging the insulation.

Functions and Features in Detail
A central feature of the cable is the copper braided shield with high coverage, providing effective protection against electromagnetic interference. This is especially important in environments with strong electromagnetic fields, such as those near motors, transformers, or other electrical devices. Additionally, the cable features an extruded inner sheath, which increases mechanical robustness and extends the cable’s service life.

Technology Explained Simply
The designation H05VVC4V5-K describes the harmonized European type of the cable. The voltage class U0/U: 300/500 V defines the permissible operating voltage, where U0 is the voltage between conductor and earth and U is the voltage between two conductors. The PVC outer sheath is grey and offers good mechanical and chemical resistance. The cable is flexible and can be occasionally moved without tensile stress, making it suitable for applications in moving machine parts.

Compatibility and Accessories
The control cable is marked with the test mark ¿HAR¿, indicating tested safety and quality according to harmonized European standards. This facilitates integration into plants recognized throughout Europe. The cable is designed for use in oily environments and can be combined with other components that are also oil-resistant to ensure consistent system execution.

Installation and Mounting
The cable is intended for fixed installation and can be used for occasional movement without tensile stress. Mounting is typically done in cable ducts, enclosures, or directly in machine construction. Numbering of the conductors simplifies wiring and fault diagnosis. The cable requires no special tools or mounting procedures beyond standard electrical trade practices.

Operational Advantages
The combination of oil-resistant insulation, electromagnetic shielding, and mechanical robustness ensures high reliability in operation. The cable is low-maintenance and offers a long service life, especially in environments with increased mechanical or chemical stress. The use of PVC as the outer sheath ensures good resistance to environmental influences, increasing operational safety.
