Bellows suction cup Ventose

flatroundelliptical

Overview
Compact industrial range of vacuum cups for automated handling: flat, bellows, elliptical, cup-shaped, foam and special Bernoulli types. Available with cold-fit supports or vulcanised supports for integration on robotic end‑of‑arm tooling and pick-and-place systems.

Materials & compounds
Standard and special compounds with defined temperature and chemical ranges: natural para rubber (N), oil-resistant rubber (A), silicone (S), BENZ (high chlorine/oil resistance), foam types (GERANIUM/OF, NF neoprene, SB EPDM). Select compound according to surface, oil exposure and temperature.

Cup types — small diameters (4–9 mm)
Traditional cup-shaped cups for small parts and slightly convex/concave surfaces; cold-fit on nickel-plated brass or anodised aluminium supports. Easy replacement by ordering cup in the required compound.

• Example codes: 010410, 010510, 010610, 010707

Cup types — medium diameters (10–45 mm)
Similar function for wider range of part sizes; supports normally in nickel-plated brass or anodised aluminium; threaded male/female supports facilitate mounting to automation.

• Example codes: 011010, 011510, 012210, 014515

Large cups (≈85 mm)
Wide-diameter cups for large panel handling (glass, marble, wood). Supports shaped for the cup and optional grub-screw to reduce suction volume.

• Example codes: 018510, 088510, 0008136

Star Vacuum cups (SV series)
Star-shaped internal reinforcement sectors for handling flat, flexible objects (cardboard, thin sheets) with minimal deformation: soft adaptable lip and reinforced bearing sectors. Available with male or female threaded metal supports.

• Example codes: SV20SR, SV25SR, SV30SR, SV40SR

Maxigrip cups — round, flat and bellows
Designed for high-friction gripping on oily or wet surfaces (robotics/automotive). Vulcanised supports; BENZ compound standard (hardness 60–75°Sh; working temp −40 to +170 °C); good abrasion, water and oil resistance.

• Example codes: VRP40A, VRP60A, VRS80, VRS100

Maxigrip — elliptical flat and bellows
Elliptical flat and bellows cups for long narrow surfaces (cardboard cases, profiles, small tiles); bellows allow compensation for non‑perpendicular gripping planes.

• Example codes: VEP3060, VEP50100, VES4080

Adapters & accessories for Maxigrip
Galvanised steel reductions, AQ aluminium adapters with square flange and integrated seal for robotic systems; quick thread adaptations (gas ↔ metric, NPT options) and threaded studs with calibrated holes to reduce suction section.

• Example adapter codes: 0008215, 0008216, 0008220

Packaging & film handling cups
Series for thin, lightweight or delicate items (plastic film, flow packs): very thin lip and internal cleats to distribute vacuum and avoid deformation. Para compound recommended for delicate packaging.

• Example codes: 011409, 081409F, 011410

Round flat cups with supports
Low, slightly tilted lip and internal cleats to reduce air volume and prevent deformation; cold-fitted on anodised aluminium support and locked by ring nut — suitable for panels, thin glass and tiles.

• Example codes: 017624, 0111024, 0008112

Foam rubber cups & special series
Foam compounds (GERANIUM/OF, NF neoprene, SB EPDM) for very rough or uneven surfaces; self-adhesive side for quick fixing. Choose foam density and compound based on surface profile and temperature.

• Example codes: LGS10OF, LGS20OF, LGS10SB

Vacupredator cups (flexible containers)
Designed for bags, packs and flexible containers: anodised aluminium body with slotted plate and foam seal to adapt to creased surfaces. Lifting force calculated at vacuum ≥ −75 kPa with safety factor 3.

• Example codes: VP12OF1015, VP22OF1515

VMG134 suction cup for structured tiles
High-density foam rubber preserves elasticity over many cycles; available in EPDM (SB), GERANIUM (OF) and NF neoprene; self-adhesive side and Anticorodal anodised support with multiple fixing holes and sealed vacuum connections.

• Example codes: VMG134, 01134134

Vulcanised support cups (heavy duty / automotive)
Cups vulcanised onto galvanised steel or aluminium supports for heavy loads and stamping processes. BENZ compound recommended for oil/chlorine resistance; many variants for central/side connections and cushioning springs.

• Example codes: 085040, 087540, 0810040

Special shapes & Bernoulli cups
Wide variety of shapes (rim, rectangular, concave, reinforced bellows, clamping, two-bellow) to solve specific gripping problems; Bernoulli non‑contact cups for fragile/slippery parts (semiconductors, foils, solar cells).

• Representative codes: 012406S, 013106S, BEC20, BEC40

Documents & support
Technical datasheets and catalog PDFs available per series with size tables, compound recommendations and product codes.
