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 come in seven different diameters, ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm, accommodating a broad spectrum of workpiece sizes and weights. Each suction cup is equipped with a fixed threaded connection—either G1/8, G1/4, or G3/8 depending on the size—allowing for direct attachment to vacuum generators, grippers, and various handling systems.
To cater to diverse workpiece surfaces and environmental conditions, the suction cups are available in three distinct materials. NBR (nitrile rubber) is the versatile option ideal for general industrial purposes, offering strong resistance against oils, abrasion, and wear. PUR (polyurethane) extends service life and provides gentle contact with sensitive surfaces thanks to its softer material nature. Meanwhile, Silicone (SI) stands out for its high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for applications in the food industry and other scenarios requiring elevated temperature tolerance.
In addition, two different suction cup shapes are offered to meet various application needs. The round flat design (VAS) is perfect for smooth and flat workpieces with a good surface finish. On the other hand, the protective bellows shape (VASB) delivers height compensation, making it ideal for handling uneven, curved, or textured surfaces where extra flexibility and shock absorption are necessary. These suction cups comply with RoHS standards and operate using atmospheric air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010 specifications.
Common applications for the VAS series include lifting, equipping, moving, inserting, conveying, gripping, holding, stacking, clamping, transporting, repositioning, and turning components within flexible automation systems. Their versatile design and robust construction make them suitable for a wide range of industrial tasks.
Features:
Our product offers seven diameter options ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm, accommodating a diverse array of workpiece sizes and weight requirements. This wide range ensures compatibility with various industrial applications.
There are three material choices available to suit different needs: NBR, PUR, and silicone. NBR is ideal for universal industrial use, providing a reliable balance of durability and flexibility. PUR is designed for a long service life and handles workpieces gently, while silicone is perfect for high-temperature environments and food industry applications due to its heat resistance.
To adapt to multiple surface types, two suction cup shapes are offered: round flat (VAS), which works best on smooth surfaces, and protective bellows (VASB), designed for uneven or curved surfaces with the ability to compensate for height variations.
Fixed threaded connections are available in sizes G1/8, G1/4, or G3/8, depending on the suction cup size. These allow for direct mounting without the need for adapters, simplifying installation and ensuring a secure fit.
The construction is sturdy and reliable, specifically engineered for demanding industrial gripping and handling tasks. This robust design ensures consistent performance even in challenging environments.
The Shore hardness values vary by material to meet different application requirements: NBR has a Shore hardness of 70 ± 5, offering a good balance of flexibility and wear resistance for general-purpose gripping. PUR, with a Shore hardness of 60 ± 5, provides a softer material ideal for the gentle handling of sensitive workpieces. Silicone has a Shore hardness of 55 ± 5, combining softness with high-temperature resistance suitable for food and heat-exposed applications.
The suction cups comply with LABS (PWIS) conformity according to VDMA24364-A1-L standards, making them suitable for applications sensitive to paint-wetting impairment. They also possess a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2, indicating moderate corrosion stress tolerance appropriate for industrial environments.
Environmentally conscious manufacturing is reflected in the RoHS compliance of these products. The operating temperature range for standard NBR suction cups is from -20°C to +80°C, while silicone versions provide extended temperature capabilities for more demanding conditions.
Additionally, the nominal operating pressure is -0.7 bar, which is optimized to ensure efficient vacuum generation and strong holding force during operation.

Applications:
Flexible automation encompasses a wide range of tasks such as lifting, equipping, moving, inserting, conveying, gripping, holding, stacking, clamping, transporting, repositioning, and turning various components. This versatility allows automation systems to be adapted for numerous industrial processes.
In the field of material handling, technologies include pick-and-place systems, robotic end-effectors, and fully automated transfer lines. These systems enhance efficiency by automating the movement and positioning of items in production environments.
Packaging machinery benefits from automation through the precise gripping and placement of cartons, films, and packaged goods. This ensures high-speed packaging operations with reliable product handling.
The manufacturing of electronic components also relies heavily on automated handling techniques. This involves managing printed circuit boards (PCBs), small parts, and delicate assemblies with great care to maintain product quality.
In the food and beverage industry, specialized silicone materials are used due to their suitability for food contact and ability to withstand high-temperature applications. These properties make them ideal for hygiene-critical processing tasks.
Automotive manufacturing utilizes automation for handling body panels, glass, and various components along assembly lines. This facilitates precise positioning and efficient throughput in vehicle production.
General industrial gripping applications demand reliable vacuum gripping solutions capable of securely handling both flat and uneven workpieces. This adaptability broadens the scope of automated gripping in numerous industrial sectors.
