Festo VAS-30-1/8-NBR, 30mm Suction Cup

The Festo VAS-30-1/8-NBR is a basic vacuum suction cup used in handling and positioning applications. With a 30 mm diameter, it is designed to grip flat or slightly uneven surfaces during pick-and-place operations. It is commonly used in automated systems that require parts to be lifted, moved, or positioned without mechanical clamping. This suction cup is made for routine industrial use, not delicate lab work. It does its job quietly and consistently.

Core Capabilities of the Festo 30mm NBR Suction Cup

The cup is manufactured from NBR (nitrile rubber), which offers good resistance to wear, oils, and general industrial conditions. The flexible lip helps create a reliable seal on smooth surfaces, allowing stable vacuum grip during movement.

• 30 mm suction diameter.
• NBR rubber for durability.
• Threaded connection for standard fittings.
• Compact size makes it crucial for limited spaces.

How It Performs in Daily Operation

In typical operation, the VAS-30-1/8-NBR provides a consistent holding force for lightweight to medium objects. It works well with vacuum generators and ejectors used in pneumatic handling systems. The material maintains grip over repeated cycles without losing shape quickly.

Usage Recommendations of the Suction Cup

It is best suited for flat surfaces such as sheets, boxes, or smooth components.

• Pick-and-place automation
• Packaging and sorting lines
• Assembly stations
• Material handling systems
• Conveyor-based transfer setups
