A modular assembly within a vacuum gripper head that creates suction to lift and manipulate objects.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Vacuum Pad Assembly
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Suction Force | 50–500 N | Depends on pad diameter and vacuum level |
| Pad Diameter | 10–80 mm | Select based on workpiece size and weight |
| Vacuum Level | -60–-90 kPa | Higher vacuum increases holding force |
| Operating Pressure | 0.4–0.8 MPa | Below 0.4 MPa suction may be insufficient |
| Operating Temperature | -20–80 °C | Outside range, seal material degrades |
| Ingress Protection | IP54–IP65 | Higher IP for dusty or wet environmentsIEC 60529 |
| Material | NBR, 304 | NBR for oil resistance, 304 for corrosion |
| Weight | 0.2–2.5 kg | Affects robot payload capacity |
| Mounting Thread | M5–M16 | Must match gripper interfaceISO 965 |
| Repeatability | ±0.05 mm | Critical for precise placement |

Manufacturer profiles associated with Vacuum Pad Assembly.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The vacuum pad can be made of polyurethane (PU), silicone rubber, or nitrile rubber (NBR). Each material offers different properties; for example, NBR provides oil resistance, while silicone may offer better temperature tolerance. Confirm the specific material grade with the supplier.
Pad diameter should be selected based on the workpiece size and weight. The available range is 10–80 mm. Larger diameters generally provide more suction force but may not suit small or irregular surfaces. Always verify the required force and surface compatibility with the manufacturer.
The operating temperature range is -20 to 80 °C. Outside this range, the seal material may degrade, affecting performance. For extreme temperatures, consult the supplier for suitable material options.
The assembly references IEC 60529 for ingress protection, and ISO 965 for mounting threads. These standards are for verification purposes; they do not imply certification. Always check compliance with the manufacturer.
