Product Description:
The VAS series comprises industrial vacuum suction cups engineered for dependable gripping, lifting, and handling of workpieces within both automated and semi-automated production environments. These suction cups are offered in seven different diameters, ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm, which accommodates a broad spectrum of workpiece sizes and weights. Each suction cup is equipped with a fixed threaded connection—available in G1/8, G1/4, or G3/8 depending on the size—allowing for direct mounting to vacuum generators, grippers, and handling systems.
To meet diverse surface conditions and environmental requirements, the suction cups come in three material options. NBR (nitrile rubber) serves as the universal material choice for general industrial use, providing excellent resistance to oils, abrasion, and wear. PUR (polyurethane) is characterized by its softer composition, offering prolonged service life and gentle handling suited for delicate surfaces. Meanwhile, Silicone (SI) is notable for its high temperature resistance, making it ideal for applications in the food industry and other contexts requiring elevated temperature tolerance.
The VAS series also features two distinct suction cup shapes. The round flat design, designated as VAS, is optimized for smooth, flat workpieces with fine surface finishes. In contrast, the protective bellows shape, known as VASB, delivers height compensation and is particularly effective for gripping uneven, curved, or textured surfaces, where additional flexibility and shock absorption are beneficial. These suction cups comply with RoHS standards and function using atmospheric air as defined by ISO 8573-1:2010.
Typical uses of the VAS suction cups encompass a range of handling tasks including lifting, equipping, moving, inserting, conveying, gripping, holding, stacking, clamping, transporting, repositioning, and turning of components. They are well-suited for integration into flexible automation systems, enhancing efficiency and reliability across various industrial processes.
Features:
Our product offers a variety of size options with seven diameter choices ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm. This wide range ensures compatibility with different workpiece sizes and weight requirements, accommodating diverse industrial applications.
There are three different material options available to suit specific needs: NBR, which is ideal for universal industrial use; PUR, known for its long service life and gentle handling properties; and silicone, designed for high-temperature environments and applications in the food industry.
The suction cups come in two distinct shapes. The round flat type (VAS) is perfect for smooth surfaces, while the protective bellows style (VASB) provides height compensation and is suitable for uneven or curved surfaces, ensuring secure gripping in various conditions.
For mounting, fixed threaded connections are used, with sizes G1/8, G1/4, or G3/8 available depending on the suction cup diameter. This design allows for direct mounting without the need for additional adapters, simplifying installation.
Constructed to be both sturdy and reliable, these suction cups are designed to withstand demanding industrial gripping and handling tasks, ensuring durability and consistent performance even in challenging environments.
The materials also feature specific Shore hardness ratings tailored for their applications: NBR with a hardness of 70 ± 5 offers a balanced mix of flexibility and wear resistance for general-purpose gripping; PUR with 60 ± 5 hardness provides a softer touch for sensitive workpieces; and silicone with 55 ± 5 hardness is soft, heat-resistant, and suitable for food-related and high-temperature uses.
Compliance with LABS (PWIS) standards as per VDMA24364-A1-L makes these suction cups suitable for applications sensitive to paint-wetting impairment. Additionally, they have a corrosion resistance classification of CRC 2, meaning they tolerate moderate corrosion stress typically encountered in industrial settings.
Environmental considerations are addressed with a RoHS-compliant construction, ensuring the product adheres to standards aimed at reducing hazardous substances.
The operating temperature range for standard NBR suction cups is from -20°C up to +80°C, while silicone versions provide an extended temperature capability, broadening the scope of potential applications.
Furthermore, the nominal operating pressure is optimized at -0.7 bar, which enhances efficient vacuum generation and maximizes the holding force during operation.

Applications:
Flexible automation encompasses a wide range of activities including lifting, equipping, moving, inserting, conveying, gripping, holding, stacking, clamping, transporting, repositioning, and turning various components. This versatility allows for efficient handling and manipulation of parts in diverse industrial settings.
In the realm of material handling, technologies such as pick-and-place systems, robot end-effectors, and automated transfer lines play crucial roles. These systems ensure precise and efficient movement of materials, enhancing productivity and reducing manual labor.
Packaging machinery benefits greatly from advanced gripping and placement solutions designed for cartons, films, and packaged goods. These innovations contribute to faster packaging processes while maintaining product integrity and consistency.
In electronic component manufacturing, specialized handling techniques are used for printed circuit boards (PCBs), small parts, and delicate assemblies. This ensures that sensitive components are managed carefully to prevent damage during the production process.
The food and beverage industry utilizes silicone versions of handling equipment that are suitable for food-contact applications and can withstand high temperatures. These adaptations ensure compliance with hygiene standards and durability in demanding environments.
Automotive manufacturing involves the handling of body panels, glass, and various components on assembly lines. Reliable automation solutions are essential to manage these materials safely and efficiently, supporting large-scale production demands.
General industrial gripping applications require dependable vacuum gripping systems capable of handling flat or uneven workpieces. These versatile solutions provide consistent performance across numerous industrial tasks, improving overall operational reliability.
