Vacuum Pads Reliable suction pads for lifting, holding, and positioning flat or gently curved surfaces using a vacuum system. Key benefits Secure grip: Create a consistent vacuum seal to hold parts firmly during handling and transport, reducing slip and drop incidents. Surface protection: Soft, conforming contact faces reduce marking or scratching on finished surfaces compared with hard mechanical grippers. Versatile compatibility: Designed to integrate with standard vacuum lifters, suction cups, end effectors, and vacuum pumps for automated or manual systems. Durable and serviceable: Constructed from resilient elastomeric materials with easyto mounting for long service life and straightforward maintenance. Performance consistency: Maintain reliable holding force across repeated cycles for predictable throughput in production and handling environments. Important attributes Function: Provide vacuum sealing and load transfer between the vacuum source and the workpiece surface. Compatibility: Usable with a broad range of vacuum systems and mounting hardware; suitable for automated pickandplace, lifting beams, and handheld vacuum tools. Size and shape: Available in multiple diameters and profiles to match surface geometry and load requirements. Material options: Common elastomeric compounds provide a balance of flexibility, wear resistance, and sealing performance to suit different surface finishes and operating conditions. Performance considerations: Selected pad size and material determine sealing speed, load capacity, and resistance to abrasion and temperature. Typical applications Glass handling and glazing: Securely pick and move panes during cutting, washing, and installation without surface damage. Sheet and plate handling in manufacturing: Pick up metal, plastic, or composite sheets for routing, stamping, or assembly operations. Packaging and logistics: Pickandplace of boxes, trays, and flatpacked products on automated conveyors and palletizers. Installation and care Inspect pads regularly for wear, cuts, or hardening and when sealing performance declines. Clean contact faces to remove dust, oil, or debris that can interrupt the vacuum seal. Match pad size and material to the workpiece surface and required holding force for performance. Engineered for dependable vacuum handling across industrial and material handling applications. Contact your supplier or technical representative to confirm compatibility with your vacuum system and selected pad size or material.
