Overview
Category page for VUOTOTECNICA® vacuum cups and related supports, adapters and foam sheets for industrial vacuum gripping and handling. The page groups product families, material options and application notes to help engineers and procurement identify the correct suction cup solution.

General features of rubber compounds
Technical table of rubber and foam compounds with trade names, abbreviations, operating temperature ranges, hardness, chemical resistance, food-contact compliance where applicable and recommended uses.

Vacuum cup questionnaire
Guidance and a printable questionnaire to collect load data (weight, surface, porosity, temperature, cycle rate) required to size vacuum pads and specify series or compound.

Vacuum cups with supports (cup-shaped)
Traditional cup-shaped cups for flat, slightly concave or convex surfaces. Cold-fit onto nickel-plated brass or anodised aluminium supports; male/female threaded pins for fastening.

• Diameters: from 4–9 mm up to 85 mm and larger depending on series.
• Example product codes: 010410, 011010, 018510.

Star Vacuum cups (SV series)
SV series with internal star reinforcement for flat and flexible items to combine flexible lip adaptation and a stable bearing area.

• Fitting: anodised aluminium supports, male or female thread.
• Example codes: SV20SR, SV25SR, SV30SR.

Maxigrip cups
Round/oval flat and bellows types for robotic and automotive handling; vulcanised supports and BENZ compound for high oil/chlorine resistance and wide temperature range.

• BENZ: hardness 60–75°Sh; working temperature −40 to +170 °C; high abrasion, oil and water resistance.
• Representative codes: VRP40A, VRP50A, VRS50.

Suction cups for packaging
Thin-lip designs for plastic films, flow-packs and delicate bags; internal cleats distribute vacuum to avoid deformation. Para compound recommended for gentle adhesion.

• Representative codes: 011409, 011410, 011712.

Round flat, elliptical and rectangular vacuum cups
Designed for panels, glass, tiles, metal sheets and wooden panels; low-tilt lips, internal cleats to reduce air volume and improve support; side or centre threaded ports available.

• Representative codes: 017624, 0111024, 014075.

Foam rubber cups and sheets (GERANIUM, NF neoprene, SB EPDM)
Foam compounds for very rough or uneven surfaces; self-adhesive foam sheets and strips for custom shapes.

• OF (GERANIUM) working temperature: −40 to +80 °C.
• NF (Neoprene) working temperature: −20 to +80/100 °C (grade dependent).
• SB (EPDM extra soft) working temperature: −40 to +130 °C.
• Sheet codes: LGS10OF, LGS15OF, LGS10SB.

Vacupredator and special cups for flexible containers
Anodised aluminium body with internal slotted plate and foam seal for gripping bags, sacks and wrinkled surfaces; lifting force calculated at −75 kPa with safety factor 3.

• Representative codes: VP12OF1015, VP22OF1515.

VMG134 suction cup (structured tiles)
High-density foam cup for textured tiles with multiple attachment holes and dual vacuum connections; replaceable self-adhesive foam insert.

• Representative codes: VMG134, 01134134.

Vacuum cups with vulcanised supports
Vulcanised cups on galvanised steel supports for heavy-duty and automotive stamped-sheet handling; BENZ compound option for chlorinated oil resistance.

• Representative codes: 085040, 085099B.

Bellows, reinforced bellows and multi-bellow cups
Flexible bellows designs to compensate misalignment, enable delicate handling and quick release for sheet separation.

• Representative codes: 012030S, 013045S, 012023.

Bernoulli vacuum cups
Non-contact cups using Bernoulli principle for fragile thin items (wafers, thin foils); aluminium body with stainless thrust disc and antistatic spacers.

• Representative codes: BEC20, BEC30, BEC40.

Accessories, supports and adapters
Supports (nickel-plated brass, anodised aluminium), adapters (GAS/NPT/metric), calibrated grub screws, anti-slip supports, filters and quick couplers; cold-fit or vulcanised mounting depending on series.

• Support codes: 000801–000899 (examples).
• Adapter series: 0008215–0008228, 0008259–0008276.
