Flat vacuum suction cup 016515

roundrubbersilicone

Product overview
VUOTOTECNICA® vacuum cups — modular product family covering round, flat, bellows, double-bellows, elliptical, rectangular, star, rim and foam suction cups, plus Bernoulli (non-contact) solutions and dedicated supports and adapters for automated handling.

Key features

• Multiple geometries for different contact profiles (round flat, bellows, elliptical, rectangular, rim, star, foam).
• Standard compounds: natural para rubber (N), oil‑resistant rubber (A), silicone (S); special compounds: BENZ, GERANIUM (OF), NF neoprene, SB (EPDM).
• Typical diameters: from 4 mm up to 85 mm and larger series for heavy‑duty grips.
• Mounting options: cold‑fitted supports, vulcanised supports, self‑adhesive foam; male/female threaded pins, central/side vacuum ports.
• Accessories: adapters, reducers, couplers, articulated joints, grub screws to limit suction section, anti‑rotation pins and filters.

Materials & technical ranges

• BENZ (MAXIGRIP): hardness ~60–75 °Sh; working temp example −40 °C to +170 °C; high resistance to oils/abrasion.
• GERANIUM foam (OF): working temp −40 °C to +80 °C; self‑adhesive variants for rough surfaces.
• NF neoprene foam: typical −20 °C to +80/+100 °C depending on variant; good oil resistance.
• EPDM (SB) extra soft foam: −40 °C to +130 °C for specific systems.

Applications

• Robotics & automation (pick & place for automotive panels, glass, marble, metal sheets).
• Packaging: films, flow‑pack, bags, envelopes, flexible containers.
• Tiles, ceramics, structured surfaces and rough materials (foam variants).
• Food & pharmaceutical lines: FDA‑grade silicone versions and dedicated bellows for delicate products.
• Non‑contact handling: Bernoulli suction for semiconductors, thin foils and solar cells.

Selection & sizing
Provide the following to specify correct cup type and compound: surface material and finish, weight and centre of gravity, dimensions and drawings, surface roughness, presence of oil/contaminants, required cycle rate, temperature range and required safety factor. A technical questionnaire and CAD/PDF datasheets are available to support selection.

Mounting & replacement

• Cold fitted cups (no adhesive) for quick replacement on nickel‑plated brass or anodised aluminium supports.
• Vulcanised supports for heavy‑duty and automotive applications (steel or galvanised supports).
• Options with M8 grub screw to reduce suction volume and threaded holes for vacuum connections.

Ordering & documentation
Each series includes product codes for size and compound selection; technical PDFs and CAD files are provided per model. For replacements, order the cup by the code and compound listed in the catalogue.
