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.

Common Fiber Optic Cables Problems

As Clint Eastwood quoted, “ Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it .” However this quote does not apply to the fiber optic cables or any cable in general. Some fiber optic networks have now been in use for more than 20 years, a tribute to the inherent capabilities of optical fiber. In that same time, copper cabling for premises networks has been through two generations of coax and at least four generations of unshielded twisted pair cabling. Why do the Old Fiber Optic Cables still Works so Well? ·          One reason is the extreme care that went into its design. Telephone cable engineers already knew how to make cable that would survive for long times buried underground or suspended from poles. Adapting that technology to glass fibers , while adding plastics to protect the fiber from the environment by hermetically sealing the glass, and using the then new technology of aramid fibers to prevent stress on the glass i...

Basics of Cables and Connectors

If we check the history of electric cables, the real demand for wires and Cables to conduct electric power began in 1871, with the invention of the first dependable dynamo. The telegraph and telephone swelled demand for efficient methods of transmitting electric current and signals over long distances. The insulation back in the days was paper coated. Just imagine Paper-coated pitch wrapped each individual wire, insulating it from the others. The whole batch was then wrapped in paper. Some even suggested laying these batches in tubes coated in resin and placing them underground to keep curious young boys away from them. In the case of cables, factors like resistance, capacitance and impedance all play a role. There's also a great many more electrical sources , magnetic sources and broadcast radio frequencies today than there were in the days of paper and pitch insulation. All of these factors can affect a cable's transmission. As a result, shielding is another impo...

How to deal with outdoor cables?

As the saying goes, “Accidents, big or small, avoid them all you.” Special care needs to be taken around electricity outdoors. Whether you are working or playing near it, or using electrical equipment, it is important to be aware of the dangers. Everything we use around us works on electric current, it is very much necessary to maintain safety guidelines. Before you start any work near power lines or underground cables, arrange a visit from electricity retailer to identify any problems or disconnect the supply. This work might be painting your house, trimming trees, cleaning guttering, replacing spouting or roofing, repairing chimneys or excavating a property. Never touch overhead power lines, underground cables , or the bare conductors that connect them to the house, as this could be fatal. Safety tips for Outdoors Never store material under power wires and reduce the clearance height. Remember that children are fond of climbing, and wires look tempting. Before starting w...
