Ölflex Classic 400 P – For harsh operating environments
The Ölflex Classic 400 P is a classic in the product range of LAPP. It is popular and proven due to its outstanding durability – both mechanically and chemically. Due to its high oil resistance, the Lapp Ölflex 400 P resists common mineral oil-based lubricants. So contact with leaking machine oil does not damage the robust PUR jacket. It is just as resistant to diluted acids, alkaline solutions and many other chemicals. This includes many acidic disinfecting and cleaning agents. As a result, the Ölflex Classic 400 P is well protected against aggressive media that are present in normal industrial environments.
Areas of application & Properties - Abrasion and notch resistant
The mechanical strength is on par with its chemical resistance. The Ölflex Classic 400 P is very abrasion resistant and durable. The high impact strength ensures that minor damage to the jacket can hardly spread and the protective effect of the jacket remains intact. Therefore, this cable is well suited for harsh environments.
The Ölflex Classic 400 P is frequently used in machine and plant manufacturing, in measuring/control technology and in appliance manufacturing. This wire is often chosen when durability is needed. This is already evident in the fact that it meets the high durability requirements of the DESINA standard. In the scope of this industry standard for machine and plant manufacturing, the Ölflex cable is used as a power cable. It is available in black so that it maintains the colour scheme of this standard. It is also used in the food and beverage industry due to its certified resistance to disinfecting and cleaning agents. The wire is also suitable for the wet areas of machine tools and transfer lines, where they come into contact with cooling lubricants. The wire can be used outdoors if the temperature limits are observed.
Wide temperature range in a fixed installation
The Ölflex Classic 400 P has a rated voltage of 300/500 V at a test voltage of 4000V. The cores are finely stranded in accordance with VDE 0295. They are insulated in a special PVC and twisted in layers. The cores are marked with white characters on a black background according to VDE 0293-334. The jacket is made of a particularly durable PUR material. After fixed installation, the temperature can range from -40°C to +80°C. If moved occasionally, temperatures between -5°C and +70°C are permitted. In a fixed installation, the lowest permissible bending radius is 4 times the outer diameter (OD). In moving applications, 12.5 x OD is still permitted.
Varied selection in classic grey and in black of the DESINA colour standard
Most wires of this type are available in classic grey. The selection begins with the light 2 x 0.5 mm2 wire and ranges up to the heavy 4 G 16.0 mm2 with a weight of 1064 kg per km. All common variations are available in grey.
Only a handful of wires are available in the black DESINA design. However, they cover the typical power cables for connecting machines. In terms of type selection, the Ölflex Classic 400 P also provides an alternative to standard cables such as the Ölflex Classic 100 or the Ölflex Classic 110. It is generally the better choice when mechanical durability and chemical resistance are crucial for the application.
Overview of all ÖLFLEX cables
ÖLFLEX series | Jacket | Properties | Available number of cores |
ÖLFLEX Classic 100 | PVC | Colour-coded standard cable 300/500V or 450/750V. Cores are colour-coded. | 2-5 |
ÖLFLEX Classic 110 | PVC | standard cable& absolute classic in the area of Ölflex control cables. The cores are identified by numbers and not by colours. | 2-100 |
ÖLFLEX Classic 110 Black | PVC | Black jacket and good suitability for outdoor use (UV and weather resistant). | 1-50 |
ÖLFLEX Classic 400 P | PUR | Proven cable due to its outstanding durability, both mechanically and chemically. | 2-42 |
ÖLFLEX Classic 115 CY | PVC / shielded | By eliminating a PVC inner jacket, the cables are lighter and thinner than normal wires. | 2-34 |
ÖLFLEX FD 90 | PVC / drag chain capable | Single core sheathed cable. Highly flexible. | 1 |
ÖLFLEX Classic FD 810 | PVC / cable-track capable | Suitable for moderate to increased travel or accelerations as a result of good properties in terms of dynamism. | 2-65 |
ÖLFLEX FD 855 CP | PUR / shielded | EMC-suitable and less liable to interference from the environment thanks to copper shielding. | 2-36 |
ÖLFLEX FD 855 P | PUR / cable-track capable | Suitable for installation in energy chains that work in harsh industrial environments, as the cable is very elastic (no shielding). | 2-41 |
ÖLFLEX Control TM | PVC | Characterised by increased torsion resistance. Best solution for mechanical engineers who need wires with certifications in accordance with US standards. | 3-25 |
