Product Lineup
Vacuum Cups – P5V-CFS Series (Double Lip Flat Cups)
P5V-CFS style cups are ideal for applications where the product may flex when being lifted. All cups have a double sealing lip and cleats to increase holding capacity. The top of the cup has a ribbed outer lip to prevent it from rolling over the surface that is to be lifted as well as prevent the cups from being cut in sheet metal handling applications. Dual sealing lips provide two seals for vacuum. As the product flexes, the outer lip seal may break, but the inner lip seal will hold the degree of vacuum for continued lifting capacity. In these types of applications, sizing should be done on the inner diameter cup dimension. Cup sizes range from 50 to 100 mm diameters.
- Cup Type: Double Lip Flat
- Cup Size (mm): 50 | 100 | 150
- Cup Material: Nitrile
- Cup Mounting Types: Female Thread
- Port Size: 1/8″ | 3/8″ | 1/2″
- Port Type: BSPP
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F)
Vacuum Cups – PBG Series (Bellows Cups)
PBG style cups are a 1-1/2″ bellows type cup intended for curved, corrugated, lightly textured surfaces and flexible product. Under vacuum, bellows will collapse on contact and lift the product for a short distance. This inherent performance benefits lifting and destack operations by assisting in breaking the vacuum between stacked product. The bellows style also adds level compensation for applications that have inconsistent stack heights or uneven surfaces. The inclusive 30-degree rotation of the bellow cup helps maintain the vacuum seal when lifting sheet products that flex. Cup sizes range from 10 to 150 mm diameters.
- Cup Type: 1-1/2″ Bellows
- Cup Size (mm): 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 75 | 110 | 150
- Cup Material: Nitrile | Silicon | Urethane
- Cup Mounting Types: Male or Female Thread Connectors | Bulkhead | 90 degree Adapter | Level Compensator
- Port Size: 1/8″ |1/4″ | 1/2″ | M5 | M10
- Port Type: NPT | BSPP | Metric | Tube Barb
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F) | Urethane = -20° to 75° C (-4° to 167° F)
Vacuum Cups – PCG Series (Multiple Bellows Cups)
PCG style cups are a 2-1/2″ bellows type cup design which minimize contact pressure applied to the product. The soft seal lip and flexible bellows allow the cup to conform to the product’s surface to improve the vacuum seal. These multiple bellow cups are designed for applications that require additional level compensation, more flexibility, or minimum back pressure for a “soft touch”. The PCG cup is good for a variety of sensitive applications; such as food packaging, CD / DVD, medical packaging, and highly irregular curved surfaces. Cups can also be used to assist with sheet separation in destack operations. Cup sizes range from 5 to 90mm diameters.
- Cup Type: 2-1/2″ Bellows
- Cup Size (mm): 5 | 7 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 60 | 90
- Cup Material: Nitrile | Silicon | Urethane | Electric Static Nitrile and Silicon
- Cup Mounting Types: Male or Female Thread Connectors | Bulkhead
- Port Size: 1/8″ |1/4″ | 1/2″ | M5
- Port Type: NPT | BSPP | Metric
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Nitrile ESD = 0° to 60° C (32° to 140° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F) | Silicon ESD = -10° to 130° C (-14° to 266° F) | Urethane = -20° to 75° C (-4° to 167° F)
Vacuum Cups – PFG Series (Single Lip Flat Cups)
PFG style cups are a universal flat cup design and are intended for any smooth, flat or slightly curved surface. Applications will benefit from stability and fast response of the PFG cup design. This is a multi-versatile and multi-industry cup. Typical applications could be chip mounting, electrical components, semiconductor chips, glass, injection mold, sheet metal, press transfer, fixtures or woodworking. Cup sizes range from 5 to 200mm diameters with bottom cleats included in cups above 60mm.
- Cup Type: Flat
- Cup Size (mm): 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 95 | 120 | 150 | 200
- Cup Material: Nitrile | Silicon | Urethane | Electric Static Nitrile and Silicon
- Cup Mounting Types: Male or Female Thread Connectors | Bulkhead | 90 degree Adapter | Level Compensator
- Port Size: 1/8″ |1/4″ | 1/2″ | M5 | M10
- Port Type: NPT | BSPP | Metric | Barb
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Nitrile ESD = 0° to 60° C (32° to 140° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F) | Silicon ESD = -10° to 130° C (-14° to 266° F)|Urethane = -20° to 75° C (-4° to 167° F)
Vacuum Cups – PJG Series (Short Bellows Cups)
PJG style cups are short 1-1/2″ bellow cups which provide increased sealing lip and level compensation for products with irregular, smooth, curved surfaces, or flexible sheets. The short stroke bellows suction cup has an extra thin lipped sealing edge and shorter stroke versus the traditional bellows for a faster response. The thin lipped cup molds itself better, under vacuum, to irregular surfaces to help prevent the vacuum from becoming loose. Cup sizes range from 10 to 150 mm diameters.
- Cup Type: 1-1/2″ Short Bellows
- Cup Size (mm): 6 | 8 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 80
- Cup Material: Nitrile | Silicon | Urethane | Electric Static Nitrile and Silicon
- Cup Mounting Types: Male or Female Thread Connectors | Bulkhead | 90 degree Adapter | Level Compensator
- Port Size: 1/8″ |1/4″ | M5 | M10
- Port Type: NPT | BSPP | Metric | Tube Barb
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Nitrile ESD = 0° to 60° C (32° to 140° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F) | Silicon ESD = -10° to 130° C (-14° to 266° F)
Vacuum Cups – PUGB Series (Flat Swivel Cups)
PUGB style cups are a universal flat cup design with a 30° inclusive swivel ball and joint connection. Rigid construction provides increased stability against acceleration and deceleration forces during product transfer. Typically, lift capacities and break away forces are higher for flat cups. The swivel joint minimizes moment forces during lift and transfer motions and compensates for angular misalignment, instead of the cup material. This helps maintain the seal between the cup and product and prolongs cup life. Cup sizes range from 60 to 100mm diameters.
- Cup Type: Flat Swivel
- Cup Size (mm): 60 | 80 | 100
- Cup Material: Nitrile | Silicon
- Cup Mounting Types: 30 Degree Swivel with Bulkhead or Level Compensator
- Port Size: 1/8″
- Port Type: NPT
- Operating Temperature: Nitrile = -20° to 120° C (-4° to 248° F) | Silicon = -60° to 250° C (-76° to 482° F)
Vacuum Suction Device (PAD) Model: TVP-C
The TVP series is a dedicated pad used in combination with the vacuum unit and pump unit, which are the vacuum sources of the vacuum transfer device. There are various variations depending on the material and shape of the package. Depending on the size of the package, it can be adsorbed and transported using multiple pads. It supports a wide range of applications, from plate-like materials such as glass, synthetic resin, and iron to round materials such as concrete piles and steel pipes, and coarse materials such as corrugated cardboard and cement bags.
