Bellows
Suction Cups For
Horizontal and Vertical Handling of Concave and Convex Surfaces 1.5 Bellows Vacuum Suction Cups attach gently and easily with
minimum pressure. Excellent for most concave and convex shapes, bellows
suction cups attach to
curvatures such as containers, bottles, cylinders, etc., and can be used in any
orientation.
Their spring action compensates for height variances in the load or machine inaccuracies.
The bellows suction cup design duplicates the function of mechanical springs and ball-joint connectors in a much smaller and
more economical package.
Vacuum Cup Materials:
The
standard materials are Nitrile (NBR) and Silicone (SIT).

Specifications
for Universal 1.5 Bellows Vacuum Suction Cups:
The cup capacities shown
above ( *
) are
theoretical capacities based on 24"Hg at sea level with a safety factor of two (2)
and a
±
5% margin of error. This is
the US ANSI ASME Standard B30.20 for vacuum lifter specifications and is commonly used in North America
as a design capacity for vacuum components. When used in vertical
applications, take these values
and divide again by 2 to obtain a 4 to 1 safety factor per the ANSI
specifications. These are realistic working capacities when designing
equipment.
Other manufacturers use a pull-off
figure at 27"Hg to show a high capacity value for their cups. This is
accurate, but requires users to do all the math themselves to build in safety
factors. The
values are basically the same, but it is necessary to calculate the working
capacities with a safety factor via the following formula at sea
level:
Pull-off
value
(at
27"Hg) = ANVER's Listed Capacity x 2 x 1.125 (at 24"Hg)
For example:
ANVER vacuum cup number F52 has a rated capacity of 15.10 lb at
24"Hg. The pull-off capacity at 27"Hg for this cup would be
15.10 x 2 x 1.125 = 33.98 lbs. From this point, it is necessary to
calculate the safety factor based
on the vacuum level being used, and the altitude.
To
ensure safety, 80% of actual overall diameter is used when determining Load
Capacity.
