The vacuum cylinder is a precision component designed to securely hold and lift workpieces using vacuum suction. By simply supplying compressed air, the vacuum pad generates negative pressure, which creates a strong, reliable grip on flat or slightly contoured surfaces. This enables precise positioning and lifting of parts in automated assembly lines, packaging, or material handling applications where stability and repeatability are essential.
The unit features a vacuum pad equipped with an integrated vacuum generator and cylinder. The pad is constructed from durable rubber materials including nitrile, silicone, or fluorosilicone rubber, offering resistance to abrasion, heat, and chemical exposure depending on the application. The internal structure supports consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.
The vacuum pad connects via a barb fitting interface with standard dimensions: φ4xφ2.5 mm or φ6xφ4 mm (tube O.D. x I.D.). This allows for secure attachment to compatible tubing systems, ensuring reliable fluid transfer and stable operation in industrial settings.
Operating performance is defined by the vacuum generation mechanism that activates when compressed air is supplied. The system lifts the slide shaft through suction, with the pad size directly influencing holding capacity. The vacuum pad's internal diameter (I.D.) varies according to the selected pad size and is designed for optimal contact with workpieces of different dimensions.
Available in a wide range of pad sizes: φ4, φ6, φ8, φ10, φ15, φ20, φ30, and φ40 mm. Material options include nitrile, silicone, or fluorosilicone rubber, allowing selection based on environmental conditions such as temperature, chemical exposure, or required sealing properties.
The pad holder component has a central bore of φ1.6 mm when used without the vacuum pad. This provides a clear integration point for mounting or connecting to other components in a system, enabling direct compatibility with standard fittings and mechanical assemblies.
