Versatile Pad Shapes:
The Basic with Lock Ring Vacuum Suction Cups ZP is available in multiple shapes to accommodate different surface conditions, ensuring optimal sealing and stable gripping across diverse applications.
Flat / Flat with Ribs:
Flat designs are ideal for smooth surfaces, while ribbed versions enhance sealing performance and reduce deformation, making them suitable for handling glass, metal sheets, and plastics.
Bellows:
Bellows-type suction cups provide greater flexibility and stroke, allowing compensation for uneven surfaces and height variations, which is especially useful for delicate or irregular workpieces.
Deep:
Deep-type suction cups are designed for handling curved or recessed surfaces, offering improved adaptability and maintaining a secure grip in complex applications.
Material Options:
Available in silicone, polyurethane, NBR, and anti-static materials, these suction cups can be selected based on temperature resistance, wear durability, or industry-specific requirements such as electronics or clean environments.
Wide Range of Sizes:
With diameters ranging from 10mm to 50mm, the series covers a broad range of applications from small precision components to larger workpieces, ensuring flexible selection.
Non-slip Option:
Optional anti-slip surface designs improve friction between the suction cup and the workpiece, reducing the risk of slipping and enhancing handling stability in high-speed operations.
Compatibility:
Designed for seamless integration, these suction cups are compatible with various vacuum generators, ejectors, and mounting systems, supporting both vertical and horizontal vacuum connections for flexible installation.

| How to Replace the Pad |
|
Since pads are essentially rubber, deterioration is unavoidable. The rate of deterioration depends upon factors such as conditions of use, environment and temperature. Regular maintenance should be performed. If any damage, splitting, cracking or abrasion has occurred in a pad which appears to be harmful, replace it immediately. Also, take care not to damage the outside surface of the pad.
1.Pull the lock ring upward,and,after lifting it up to the adapter,remove the old pad bypulling it downward.
