ÖLFLEX FD cabling represents a premium category of flexible, oil-resistant control and power cables designed specifically for continuous flexing applications in industrial automation and machinery. These cables feature finely stranded copper conductors, special PVC or PUR outer sheaths, and optimized stranding geometries to withstand millions of bending cycles without failure. Key technical parameters include nominal voltage ratings up to 0.6/1 kV, temperature ranges from -5°C to +70°C (or -40°C to +80°C for PUR versions), and conductor cross-sections from 0.14 mm² up to 95 mm² depending on the series. The cables are available in various configurations: unshielded (ÖLFLEX FD 90), shielded (ÖLFLEX FD 90 CY), and with overall braid screening for EMC protection. They are also known internationally as drag chain cables, continuous flex cables, or robotic cables, designed to meet the rigorous demands of automated production lines.
ÖLFLEX FD cables are primarily deployed in cable carrier systems (drag chains) within industrial environments such as automotive assembly lines, packaging machinery, CNC machine tools, robotics, and material handling equipment. They are ideal for applications requiring constant movement, including horizontal, vertical, and torsional motions. These cables are also used in conveyor systems, pick-and-place units, and automated storage and retrieval systems. Their oil-resistant and flame-retardant properties make them suitable for machine tools, hydraulic systems, and manufacturing cells where exposure to cutting fluids, lubricants, and coolants is common. Additionally, they are employed in energy chains for cranes, hoists, and other heavy machinery requiring reliable power and signal transmission under dynamic conditions.
Within the ÖLFLEX FD category, several subcategories and key article codes are available. The ÖLFLEX FD 90 series (e.g., LA13-001 to LA13-010) includes unshielded control cables with cross-sections from 4G0.75 mm² to 4G2.5 mm². The ÖLFLEX FD 90 CY series (e.g., LA13-011 to LA13-020) offers shielded versions for EMC-sensitive applications. The ÖLFLEX FD 890 series (e.g., LA13-021 to LA13-030) provides higher mechanical strength for extreme flexing. Article codes typically follow the pattern: LA13-XXX, where XXX denotes the specific cable configuration, including number of cores, cross-section, and shielding type. For example, LA13-005 indicates a 4-core, 1.5 mm² unshielded cable, while LA13-015 represents a 4-core, 1.5 mm² shielded version.
