The control cable ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC 110 2X2.5 from Lapp is a flexible PVC control cable for use in industrial plants and machines. It is designed for medium mechanical stress and is suitable for both fixed installation and occasional movement without tensile load. The cable construction enables flexible, continuous movement in moving machine parts as well as in drag chains. The cable is also suitable for torsion applications in wind turbines, making it particularly useful for demanding industrial environments.
Applications
The control cable is universally applicable for wiring machine-internal and plant-wide control circuits. It is suitable for use in dry and damp rooms and can be flexibly used at temperatures down to -15 °C. The PVC outer sheath is resistant to acids and alkalis, making the cable suitable for chemically stressed environments. Additionally, it is tested for resistance to ECOLAB® disinfectants and cleaning agents, making it usable in plants with high hygiene requirements.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable features two conductors, each with a cross-section of 2.5 mm², which are identified by numbering. Conductor identification is done via numbers, enabling clear assignment during wiring operations. The PVC insulation and outer sheath ensure high mechanical and chemical resistance. The cable is oil-resistant according to DIN EN 50290-2-22 (TM54), making it suitable for applications with oil and grease contact. The reduced wall thicknesses ensure space-saving installation, especially in tight installation situations.
Technology Explained Simply
The control cable is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V, making it suitable for most industrial control and signal applications. High electrical safety is ensured by a test voltage of 4000 V, which guarantees reliable insulation performance even under load. The classification of fire behaviour is according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR), with the exact classification available on the LAPP website by article number. The VDE registration number 7030 confirms tested quality and conformity with applicable standards.
Compatibility and Accessories
The control cable is part of a comprehensive product family with 145 standard items, covering conductor counts from 2 to 100, various lengths, and individual cuts. This enables flexible adaptation to different requirements. The cable is designed for use in drag chains and moving machine parts, making it compatible with appropriate cable protection systems and guiding elements.
Installation and Mounting
The cable is designed for fixed installation and occasional movement without tensile load. For continuous movement, such as in drag chains or torsion applications, careful planning of fastening and guidance is required to minimize mechanical stress. The flexible structure allows easy installation, with reduced wall thicknesses providing additional space-saving benefits.
Operational Advantages
The control cable offers high reliability due to its chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, oil, and specific cleaning agents. The flexible structure and space-saving design facilitate installation in complex machine constructions. VDE-tested quality and fire behaviour classification according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR) ensure safe and standard-compliant use. Availability in various lengths and as individual cuts increases flexibility in planning and implementing wiring solutions.
