Vacuum suction is a core solution for "flexible grasping" in industrial automation with four core advantages: non-damaging grasping, adaptability to multi-material/irregular workpieces, clean and environmental protection, and flexible operation. It can be adapted to different industry characteristics of workpieces (thin/thick, precision/coarse, sanitary/standard).

Resource
As a leading Chinese manufacturer, our factory offers customized Compact Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 solutions specifically designed for precision industries, featuring the following core advantages:
High Performance, Low Cost: Leveraging a mature domestic supply chain, we effectively control costs while ensuring exceptional suction performance, thereby reducing procurement expenses for our clients.
ZP2 Series High-Load Design: Our Compact Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 (ø6–8) feature a unique rib-reinforced structure. Even at extremely small dimensions, they deliver exceptional resistance to deformation and load stability, making them the preferred choice for handling thin metal sheets and precision plastic components.
ZP2 Thin-Profile UT Series:Designed specifically for flexible workpieces (ø5–20), this series features an ultra-thin skirt structure. This low-profile design effectively prevents fragile materials—such as thin films and vinyl sheets—from wrinkling or deforming during the suction process.
Stable Supply: Supported by mature manufacturing processes, we utilize high-quality materials (such as silicone) in conjunction with advanced vacuum retention technology to ensure safe and stable gripping operations; furthermore, our substantial inventory allows for rapid delivery to meet customer demands.
FAQ
What are the different types of ZP2 pads?
Compact Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 offer several pad structures to match real working conditions:
Flat type: for smooth, rigid surfaces with stable sealing
Flat with ribs: improves vacuum sealing on slightly rough surfaces
Bellows type: compensates height differences and provides cushioning
Commaelec provides multiple configurations to ensure better fit and performance in automation systems.
What size ranges are available?
Standard sizes include: φ40, φ50, φ63, φ80, φ100, φ125
Smaller diameters: suitable for precision or lightweight parts
Larger diameters: stronger suction for heavy or large workpieces
Commaelec factory maintains stable stock and supports customized sizes for project-based needs.
How do ZP2 cups compare to ZP3 or ZP?
ZP2 series: balanced design with higher rigidity and ball joint adaptability, suitable for general to heavy-duty use
ZP3 series: typically optimized for lighter, faster handling and more compact setups
ZP series (standard): basic applications with simpler structure
Compared to others, Compact Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 provide better stability on uneven surfaces while maintaining flexibility in installation and material selection.
Are they suitable for delicate parts?
Yes, with the right configuration:
Use soft materials like silicone for gentle contact
Choose bellows or cushioned types to reduce impact force
Optional buffering mounts help protect fragile surfaces such as glass or coated parts
