The new addition to the LAPP portfolio of UL-listed servo motor cables offers a range of properties that have not previously been available in combination. The cable is resistant to UV light, flame retardant in compliance with the FT4 fire test, and has increased oil resistance in line with Oil Res I/II. The conductors are made up of ultra-fine copper wires, which makes the cable exceptionally flexible and therefore suitable for tight bending radii such as those that can occur in cable racks, and even for use in cable chains with several million bending cycles. Another new feature is the carefully selected cross-linked core insulation material, which gives the cable a low capacitance. This minimises the voltage drop over longer installation distances and reduces unwanted leakage currents at the screening.
Also available for on-site cabling in the USA
Because the ÖLFLEX SERVO FD 7TCE is UL-listed as a “TC-ER” rack cable and a “Flexible Motor Supply Cable”, it can be installed on site in the field. This is particularly useful in large installations, which are delivered as individual parts and only assembled by the user, or if an installation is extended at a later date. With cables that are only AWM certified, the standard does not permit this; the cables have to be completely installed in the factory during production of a machine.
The employees responsible for the development of the ÖLFLEX SERVO FD 7 TCE won the Eddie Lapp Award, LAPP’s internal innovation prize. The ÖLFLEX SERVO FD 7 TCE is now in stock and available to order.
LAPP will be exhibiting the new ÖLFLEX SERVO FD 7 TCE at SPS IPC Drives 2018 in Nuremberg, in Hall 2, Stand 310.
