Product Information

Full details

The LAPP ÖLFLEX Special Polyurethane Spiral Cable (MPN: 70002652) is designed for demanding environments in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems where shielded cables with minimal dimensions are necessary. Its key benefit is its high restoring force and 3:1 expansion ratio, allowing it to extend to three times its unextended length, providing flexibility and durability. A potential caveat is its specific temperature range for flexing, requiring careful consideration in extreme conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum extension length of this spiral cable?

The cable can extend up to three times its original closed length. For example, a cable with a closed length of 500 mm can be pulled out to 1500 mm.

What is the operating temperature range for flexing?

The cable is designed for flexing within a temperature range of 5°C to 50°C.

What materials are the conductors and insulation made of?

The cable is manufactured from bare copper wires with special PVC P8/1 core insulation.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the cable is UV resistant, making it suitable for applications where it may be exposed to sunlight.

What is the cable diameter and core size?

The cable diameter is 6.2 mm, and the core size is 1 mm².

How long are the drawn ends?

The drawn ends are 200 mm long on one side and 600 mm long on the other side.

What types of applications is this cable best suited for?

It is ideal for use as control and power cables in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems where shielded cables with the smallest dimensions are required.

Troubleshooting

Cable does not extend fully or retract properly

Check for any physical obstructions within the spiral or around the cable path. Ensure the cable is not kinked and that the ambient temperature is within the operational range (5-50°C).

Intermittent signal or power loss

Inspect the connections at both ends of the cable for looseness or corrosion. Verify that the core size and number of cores are appropriate for the electrical load. Ensure the cable has not been over-extended beyond its 3:1 ratio, which could strain the conductors.

Sheath damage (cuts, abrasions)

Immediately cease use if significant sheath damage is observed. Assess if the damage compromises the internal insulation. Replace the cable if the damage is severe or could lead to electrical hazards. Minor scuffs can be cleaned, but structural integrity should be prioritized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility due to 3:1 expansion ratio.
  • Durable polyurethane sheath for industrial use.
  • UV resistance enhances outdoor or exposed application suitability.
  • High restoring forces ensure the cable retracts effectively.
  • Compact design suitable for space-constrained applications.

Cons

  • Specific flexing temperature range (5-50°C) may limit use in extreme environments.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid damage during maximum extension.
  • Not explicitly rated for high-frequency data transmission, best for control and power.
  • Relatively small core size (1 mm²) may not be suitable for high-power applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the cable is connected according to your system's wiring diagram. The drawn ends are straight-cut for termination. Verify that the cable's expansion (up to 3 times its closed length) is accounted for in your installation to prevent over-extension.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for control and power applications in machines and mechanical engineering. It utilizes standard bare copper wires and PVC insulation. Confirm that the core size (1 mm²) and number of cores (3) are compatible with your electrical requirements. The cable's outer sheath is Special Polyurethane.

Care: Keep the cable within its specified flexing temperature range of 5°C to 50°C for optimal performance and longevity. Avoid exposing the cable to sharp objects or excessive abrasion. Clean the sheath with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the spiral remains free from obstructions that could hinder its extension or retraction.
