VASB Series Vacuum Accessories RoHS Compliant Engineered for Industrial Vacuum Equipment Providing and Durable Solutions

Product Description:

The VASB series consists of bellows-type vacuum suction cups designed specifically for dependable gripping and handling of workpieces that have uneven, curved, or inclined surfaces. Unlike traditional flat suction cups, the unique 1.5-fold bellows construction offers built-in height compensation and stroke flexibility. This design enables the cup to adapt to irregular shapes while maintaining a firm seal, even when the surface of the workpiece is not completely flat.

This product range includes seven different diameters, spanning from 15 mm to 125 mm, and offers three material choices tailored to various workpiece needs. NBR (nitrile rubber) serves as the versatile option for general industrial use, providing excellent resistance to wear and oil. It is available in both black, the standard color, and blue, which is ideal for situations requiring visual differentiation. Additionally, silicone (SI) versions come in white, offering superior temperature resistance and suitability for the food industry. The soft contact characteristic of silicone also helps in minimizing marks on delicate surfaces.

Each suction cup is equipped with a fixed threaded connection—G1/8 for sizes 15 to 30 mm, G1/4 for 40 to 100 mm, and G3/8 for 125 mm sizes. This allows for direct attachment to vacuum generators, grippers, and handling systems without the necessity of adapters. The holding forces of these cups vary from 7.9 N for the smallest 15 mm NBR cup up to 610 N for the largest 125 mm silicone cup. This wide range accommodates tasks from light assembly work to the handling of heavy workpieces. Moreover, all cups comply with RoHS standards and operate using atmospheric air, conforming to ISO 8573-1:2010 specifications.

Features:

The bellows feature a 1.5-fold design that offers effective height compensation. This design allows the bellows to conform easily to uneven, curved, and inclined workpieces, ensuring a reliable gripping performance.

Available in seven different diameters ranging from 15 mm to 125 mm, these bellows cater to a wide range of applications—from light assembly tasks to heavy material handling operations.

Customers can choose between three material and color options tailored to specific industrial needs. Black NBR is ideal for universal industrial use, blue NBR provides visual differentiation, and white silicone is suitable for high-temperature environments and the food industry.

These bellows deliver high holding forces that vary depending on the size and material. Holding forces range from 7.9 N for 15 mm black NBR models up to 610 N for 125 mm white silicone versions at nominal operating pressure.

The design includes fixed threaded connections available in sizes G1/8, G1/4, or G3/8, depending on the diameter. This allows for direct mounting without the need for additional adapters, facilitating easy installation.

Each material type supports specific temperature ranges: NBR operates between -20°C and +80°C, PUR between -20°C and +60°C, and Silicone can withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C up to +200°C.

The silicone variants are particularly suited for the food industry, as they are approved for food-contact applications and exhibit strong resistance to high temperatures, ensuring safety and durability.

With a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2, these bellows are designed to tolerate moderate corrosion stresses common in industrial environments, contributing to their longevity.

Environmental considerations have been addressed as well. The products comply with RoHS directives, assuring environmentally friendly construction, and meet LABS (PWIS) conformity standards, making them suitable for applications sensitive to paint-wetting impairments.

Overall, the bellows embody a robust and reliable construction, making them an excellent choice for demanding industrial vacuum handling applications.

Applications:

The bellows design enables effective handling of uneven, curved, or inclined workpieces, providing the necessary compliance in situations where flat cups fail to create a proper seal.

In the realm of flexible automation, these components support a wide range of tasks including lifting, equipping, moving, inserting, conveying, gripping, holding, stacking, clamping, transporting, repositioning, and turning various parts with precision and efficiency.

When it comes to packaging applications, the system excels at gripping cartons, films, and packaged goods that feature irregular surfaces, ensuring secure handling throughout the process.

Within electronics and precision assembly, these products are ideal for manipulating printed circuit boards (PCBs), small parts, and delicate housings. Additionally, silicone variants are available to handle sensitive surfaces with care.

In the food and beverage industry, silicone cups meet stringent approval standards, making them suitable for food-safe operations and capable of withstanding high-temperature environments.

Automotive manufacturing benefits from these solutions when dealing with body panels, glass elements, and components characterized by curved geometries, facilitating smooth and reliable handling.

For battery production, especially lithium-ion battery manufacturing systems, NBR and PUR versions ranging in size from 8 to 55 mm are offered with the F1A material specification to meet industry requirements effectively.

Support and Services:

Our Vacuum Suction Cup is designed for reliable and efficient handling in various industrial applications. To ensure optimal performance, please follow the installation and maintenance guidelines carefully.

Installation: Before installation, inspect the suction cup for any damage or contaminants. Clean the surface where the suction cup will be applied to ensure a secure seal. Attach the suction cup firmly to the vacuum system, ensuring all connections are tight and leak-free.

Operation: Operate the vacuum system within the recommended pressure range specified in the product manual. Avoid exposing the suction cup to sharp objects or abrasive surfaces which may cause damage. For best results, use the suction cup on smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Maintenance: Regularly inspect the suction cup for signs of wear, cracks, or deformation. Clean the suction cup with mild soap and water; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Replace the suction cup immediately if any damage is detected to maintain safety and efficiency.

Troubleshooting: If the suction cup fails to hold properly, check for leaks in the vacuum system and ensure the contact surface is clean and smooth. Verify that the vacuum pressure is within the specified range. Replacing worn or damaged suction cups often resolves most issues.

For additional support, detailed product manuals and troubleshooting guides are available to help you maximize the lifespan and performance of your Vacuum Suction Cup.
