The control cable ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 18G0.75 from Lapp is a flexible PVC control cable for use in industrial applications, particularly in machine and plant engineering. It features 18 conductors with a cross-section of 0.75 mm² and is available in a length of 50 meters. The cable is designed for medium mechanical stress and is suitable for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. The cable construction also allows for flexible, continuous movement in moving machine parts and in drag chains. The PVC insulation and outer sheath are resistant to acids, alkalis, and ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents, making the cable suitable for use in the food industry or medical facilities. The cable is intended for use in dry and damp rooms and can be flexibly used at temperatures down to -15 °C.

Applications

The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 18G0.75 is universally applicable for wiring machine-internal and plant-wide control circuits. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high mechanical load capacity and chemical resistance. The cable construction also allows use in torsion applications, for example in wind turbines, where the cable is subjected to rotational movement. The cable is designed for use in moving machine parts and in drag chains, providing a reliable connection in automation technology and machine engineering.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The control cable features conductor identification by numbers, enabling easy assignment and wiring. The PVC outer sheath is designed with reduced wall thicknesses, making it space-saving and advantageous for installation in confined spaces or drag chains. The cable is oil-resistant according to DIN EN 50290-2-22 (TM54), ensuring high resistance to mineral oils and fats. The VDE registration number 7030 confirms the tested quality and safety of the cable.

Technology Explained Simply

The rated voltage of the cable is U0/U: 300/500 V, meaning it is suitable for operating voltages up to 500 V. The test voltage of 4000 V ensures high electrical safety and protects against breakdowns under load. The cable is classified according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR), standardizing and making the fire behavior traceable. Classification is available via article number selection on the LAPP website. The flexible construction allows continuous movement without mechanical damage, which is crucial for applications in moving machine parts.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is available in a wide range of standard articles with 2 to 100 conductors and in various lengths, allowing flexible adaptation to individual requirements. The availability of individual cuts enables customized installation. The cable is designed for use in drag chains and moving machine parts, allowing it to be combined with appropriate connection elements and connectors suitable for these application areas.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by fixed routing, with the cable designed for occasional movement without tensile stress. The flexible structure allows easy bending and routing in confined spaces. The reduced wall thickness of the PVC sheath facilitates installation in drag chains and other compact installations. The cable is suitable for use in dry and damp rooms, making it applicable in various industrial environments.

Operational Advantages

The ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 18G0.75 offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, extending the cable's service life and reducing maintenance intervals. The flexible construction enables continuous use in moving machine parts, increasing the reliability of control systems. The tested quality according to VDE and classification according to BauPVO/CPR ensure safe and standard-compliant installation. Resistance to ECOLAB® products also makes the cable suitable for hygienically demanding environments.
