Strict regulations and a multitude of applicable application standards have often made the cabling of machines in the USA very cumbersome and time-consuming, as many different types of cable have to be used depending on where they are laid. The new Ölflex Servo FD 7TCE from Lapp complies with various standards, making it possible to use one and the same cable from the control cabinet or inverter via the cable tray to the machine - even in a moving drag chain - regardless of whether it is for static, flexible or highly flexible use. Machine and system manufacturers no longer need to keep different cable types in stock, which simplifies procurement and warehousing. The cable is available with and without additional control pairs for connection to brakes or temperature sensors.

The new addition to the portfolio of UL-listed servo motor cables is resistant to UV light, flame-retardant in accordance with the FT4 fire test and has increased oil resistance in accordance with Oil Res I/II. The conductors are made of fine copper wires, which makes the cable flexible and therefore suitable for tight bending radii, as can occur in cable trays, and even for use in the energy supply chain with several million bending cycles. Another novelty is the carefully selected, cross-linked material of the core insulation, which makes the cable low-capacitance. This minimizes the voltage drop over longer installation distances and reduces unwanted leakage currents on the shielding.

As the Ölflex Servo FD 7TCE is UL-listed as a "TC-ER" flatbed cable and "Flexible Motor Supply Cable", it can also be wired on site in the field. This is particularly useful for large systems that are supplied in individual parts and only assembled at the user's premises, or for subsequent system expansions. With cables that are only certified in accordance with AWM, this is not permitted by the standards; these must be fully installed at the factory during the production of a machine.

The employees responsible were awarded the Eddie Lapp Award, Lapp's internal innovation prize, for the development of the line. as
