Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The Vacuum Pad Ultrathin Type is designed specifically for the secure and stable transport of thin, delicate components such as paper and vinyl sheets. Its engineered design ensures minimal pressure on sensitive materials while maintaining strong vacuum adhesion, making it ideal for applications where component integrity must be preserved during handling or conveyance.
The pad is constructed using a range of high-performance elastomeric materials including silicone rubber, urethane rubber, fluoro rubber, and fluorosilicone rubber. No copper-based metallic material is used in the flow paths, ensuring compatibility with low-concentration ozone environments. The seal rubber uses HNBR or FKM, which provides durability and resistance to environmental stress without compromising safety in sensitive atmospheres.
Available in multiple configurations, the Vacuum Pad Ultrathin Type offers fixed-type mounting options with side ports (VPMB/Mini, VPB/Standard) and direct mount variants (VPME/Mini, VPE/Standard), as well as spring-type designs with top or side ports (VPSC/Slim, VPC/Standard; VPMD/Mini, VPD/Standard) and a direct mount option (VPF). The stroke length of the spring type holder can be selected to match specific operational needs.
The pad operates effectively under vacuum conditions with optimized adhesion performance due to a thinner lip design that reduces overlapping adhesion. This improvement enhances both holding strength and surface contact, minimizing slippage during transport. The vacuum pad size is defined by its inner diameter (I.D.), which corresponds directly to the application-specific requirements.
A wide selection of sizes and materials ensures compatibility across various industrial processes. Available pad diameters include φ8, φ10, φ15, and φ20 mm. The holder options support different connection types: barb fittings with tube O.D. × I.D. of φ3×φ2, φ4×φ2.5, or φ6×φ4; metric female threads (M3×0.5, M5×0.8); and male threads (M5×0.8, M10×1). A version is available without a vacuum pad (pad holder only) with an inner diameter of φ1.6 mm.
The Vacuum Pad Ultrathin Type integrates seamlessly into systems requiring non-metallic flow paths or operation in low-concentration ozone environments. It is explicitly designed for use where copper-based materials are incompatible, and it is compatible with both conventional long-stroke holders (with cover) offering stroke lengths of 3, 10, 15, and 20 mm, as well as spring-type holders that provide adjustable stroke performance.
