Vacuum Pads What it is Vacuum pads are suction components that create a reliable airtight contact between a vacuum source and the surface of an object, enabling safe lifting, holding, and transfer in manual or automated systems. Key benefits Secure handling: Provide consistent suction to hold or move parts without mechanical clamps, reducing surface damage and marring. Faster throughput: Simplify pickandplace and conveyor transfers to speed production and reduce cycle times. Flexible integration: Work with a wide range of vacuum systems, grippers, and endofarm tooling for both retrofit and installations. Easy maintenance: Replaceable sealing surfaces extend service life and minimize downtime. Function and performance Seal and lift: Form an effective vacuum seal against flat, slightly contoured, or gently textured surfaces to transmit lifting force from the vacuum source to the load. Consistent performance: Designed to maintain a firm seal under typical industrial operating pressures and common environmental conditions. Durable sealing surface: Engineered to resist wear from repetitive contact while preserving suction capacity. Compatibility and options Mount to common vacuum fittings and tooling interfaces for straightforward assembly into existing systems. Offered in a range of diameters, shapes, and profiles to match payload size, surface geometry, and required suction force. Constructed from resilient elastomeric materials suited for repeated use and predictable sealing behavior. When you need it Use vacuum pads when delicate or finished surfaces must be handled without clamps, when speed and repeatability are important, or when tooling must adapt to multiple part geometries. Practical applications Electronics assembly: Pick and place PCBs, components, and displays without damaging solder joints or sensitive surfaces. Glass, sheet metal, and panel handling: Lift, position, and transfer large flat parts on production lines or during installation. Packaging and robotics: Grip boxes, blister packs, and irregular items for automated packing, sorting, and palletizing. Why choose these vacuum pads Reliable suction under typical industrial conditions Replaceable sealing surfaces for costeffective maintenance Versatile form factors for broad application compatibility Ordering and installation tips Match pad diameter and profile to the contact area for suction and distribution of load. Choose a material and hardness appropriate for surface finish and temperature exposure. Inspect sealing surfaces regularly and when worn to maintain consistent performance.
