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
The Thin Flat Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 are precision components within pneumatic gripping systems, specifically designed for handling thin and easily deformable workpieces. In industrial specifications, they typically bear the structural code "MT, " signifying the incorporation of a specialized grooved design within their internal structure.
Product features: This suction cup effectively prevents deformation of flat workpieces during adsorption, making it ideal for thin sheets, films, and other easily deformable materials.
Specifications: The suction cup is available in various diameters, including φ10, φ15, φ20, φ25, and φ30.
Suction cup materials: Common options include NNBR (nitrile rubber) and GS (conductive silicone rubber), with each material tailored to specific working environments and part requirements.
Application fields: Thin Flat Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 is widely used in manufacturing, automated production lines, robotics and logistics, etc. It can be used to carry light or medium weight flat objects such as glass, plastic and metal.
FAQ
What materials are available and what are their differences?
Thin Flat Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 are available in several materials to match real working conditions:
NBR: cost-effective, good wear resistance for general use
Silicone: excellent heat resistance and non-marking, ideal for sensitive surfaces
PU (Polyurethane): high durability for high-cycle operations
FKM (Fluororubber): strong chemical and oil resistance
EPR: suitable for specific environmental requirements
Commaelec ensures consistent material quality and supports customization for special applications (e.g., anti-static).
What workpieces are thin flat suction cups best suited for?
Smooth, flat surfaces such as metal sheets, glass, plastic panels
Thin or lightweight workpieces requiring stable, uniform contact
Applications where minimal deformation and precise positioning are needed
The thin flat design increases contact area, improving sealing and reducing air leakage.
What is the temperature resistance range?
Typical ranges (depending on material):
NBR: -10°C to 80°C
Silicone: -40°C to 200°C
PU: -20°C to 80°C
FKM: up to ~200°C with strong chemical stability
Commaelec can recommend suitable materials based on your actual temperature and environment.
Can they be used with vertical or horizontal vacuum entry?
Yes. Thin Flat Vacuum Suction Cups ZP2 support flexible installation:
Vertical vacuum entry (standard for compact setups)
Horizontal/lateral entry for space-limited systems
Compatible with adapters and buffer brackets
Commaelec provides multiple connection options to fit different equipment layouts.
How to properly maintain them to extend lifespan?
Regularly check for wear, cracks, or deformation on the sealing lip
Keep surfaces clean to avoid dust affecting sealing performance
Avoid excessive vacuum pressure or misalignment
Use buffering mounts to reduce impact in high-speed operations
Replace worn cups in time to maintain system stability
