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...

The future with Fiber Optic cables

Internet penetration in India is a major concern and will be for a while. Only 400 million of India’s 1.2 billion strong population is online, after all. As fiber optic technology continues to revolutionize the telecommunication and data capabilities of a range of industries, the average individual may not understand the advantages that fiber optic technology provides for us in our everyday life. To better understand the advantages and capabilities of fiber optic technology, we’ll outline a few basics touch points of fiber optics and their contribution to our everyday lives. Let us catch up on the benefits of optical fiber over traditional metallic wire. Benefits of Optic Fibers Vs. Traditional Metallic Wiring? Besides the fact that conventional metallic wiring is far more expensive to produce, fiber optics deliver a superior amount of quality, convenience, and durability currently unmatched in telecommunication technology. Although the majority of our practical ...

Overview of LAPP as Company

Here’s where it all started… In the early 1950s, the revolution in industrialization led to a massive demand for cables and conductors. When Oskar Lapp witnessed this development, he posed a question to himself: "How can I optimize the current method - the time-consuming manual inserting of single cores and switching strands into the outer sheaths?" In a while he got his answer. Thus the idea of the world’s first ever industrially produced flexible, colour-coded signal cable - ÖLFLEX® was conceived by Lapp and LAPP Group came into existence. When it was still something new, in 1959, LAPP gave his products brand names and it quickly allowed them to be distinguished from their competition. Even in this, Oskar Lapp became a front runner to become the first person offering catchy branding that are still very much in use. LAPP’s most well-known brand is ÖLFLEX®, that has secured a place in the history of cable manufacturers India and the rest of the world. In 1979, LAPP...
