ÖLFLEX® - Control Cable India – Right from where it all started!


Choosing the best cable for applications involving extreme temperatures, such as those in wind turbine nacelles, is one of the most critical design decisions. When it comes to withstanding extreme heat and cold, some cables have clear advantages over others. As the lifeblood of your systems, cables and wires are vital to transmitting power and sending control signals and data in a timely and reliable manner.
Cables from the ÖLFLEX Heat Control cable India range maintain their electrical and mechanical properties, ensuring uninterrupted power no matter how severe the conditions.  ÖLFLEX HEAT cables are made with reliable and rugged materials including cross-linked polymers, silicone, fluoropolymers and fiberglass. These components ensure durable performance time and time again—providing optimum uptime and productivity.

Advantages of silicone cable include:

  • Hydrolysis resistance
    • UV resistance
    • Resistant to oils, alcohols, plants and animal fats
    • Withstands temperature as low as -50°C

Advantages of cross-linked cable

• Increased thermal strength
• Improved corrosion and abrasion resistance
• Resistant to solvents, detergents and other operating fluids
• High-temperature resistance suitable for a wide range of applications
• Food and beverage
• Industrial ovens
• Steel and glass foundries
• Industrial furnaces
• Industrial machinery
Background of LAPP Cables
LAPP was founded in 1957 by Oskar Lapp with ÖLFLEX® control cable India being the first industrially produced signal cable in the world. Today Lapp Cables produces cables and conductors for different industries and markets: mechanical and systems engineering, the automotive industry, MSR technology, electrical and installations engineering, EDC and more.
Lapp Cables products are primarily produced in the Lapp Cables group's own production plants. They currently supply 40, 000 standard items from stock and have 39 sales companies, 17 production sites and approximately 100 national partners worldwide while also employing 3,300 people.
Here’s Where It All Began…
In the 1950s, the upswing in industrialization led to a huge demand for cables and conductors. Faced with this development, Oskar Lapp asked himself a simple question…how could he optimise the current time-consuming manual inserting of single cores and switching strands into the outer sheaths? He found his answer by inventing the first industrially produced flexible, colour-coded signal cable -  ÖLFLEX® control cable India. In 1979, Ölflex Inc. USA became the first overseas subsidiary.
Today, Lapp offers the extensive line of OLFLEX® , UNITRONIC®, and ETHERLINE®, cables which include flexible control, continuous flex, torsional, servo, high temperature, and field bus cables, all designed to withstand the rigors of the most demanding factory automation applications.

Oil Resistant Cables: Know How Important They Are!

Demands of the industrial environment are ongoing, with ever-changing trends. Cables that were able to sustain functional and operational integrity a decade ago would not be adequate to survive in the environment of a present day manufacturing site. Everywhere, from the renewable energy industry and automotive assembly plants to the factories that manufacture small office machines, and even in some commercial buildings, oil resistant cables have become increasingly important. Oils serve a dual-purpose in industrial applications, both as a coolant and lubricant, depending upon the requirements mandated by the end use application. Sustaining trouble-free cable operation under harsh chemical and environmental conditions reduces costly manufacturing downtime and helps to eliminate or minimize periodic maintenance and costly cable replacement. All of the factors mentioned play a major role that is critical to a consistent, smoothly run manufacturing operation, which in the end res...

Life Expectancy of your Control Cable India and what should you expect?

With the talk of life expectancy being the need of the hour, I want to start this blog with a quote from the American author and computer scientist, Ray Kurzweil: “ Life expectancy is a statistical phenomenon. You could still be hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow .” One of the important question to ponder, when constructing new builds or considering refurbishment is: What is the life expectancy of the control cables in use? To be frank, there are no minimum requirements for an expected lifetime in cable standards and specifications. And the majority of high-quality cable manufacturers always deliver the probably expected lifespan. Under ideal circumstances which means considerably reduced heating and lower loadings, we can find the examples of cables that have remained in safe use for over 50 years. The parameters influencing the life expectancy of the control cable India ·           The changes in the polymer...

The industrial robots till now were performing complex and repetitive factory processes, but the digitization and technological advancements have increased their applications across various sectors.   Cable manufacturing in India  is entering the era of integration and convergence that will aim at reducing costs with increased safety. Robots of the future will be seen working alongside humans in most Industrial sectors with increased responsibilities. They will be pivotal in implementing Industrial 4.0 by combining technologies that will allow robots to use big data and analytics, make decisions and function autonomously. Industry 4.0 or the industrial internet of things (IIOT) refers to the era where the industrial manufacturing processes equipment, devices, and computers are networked. Today, the use of automation and robots have come a long way and play an integral role in re-shaping and re-defining  Industry 4.0. But, it is not just the robots that ...
