Festo VASB-8-M5-NBR, 8mm NBR Suction Cup

The Festo VASB-8-M5-NBR is a compact suction cup designed for handling small and lightweight parts in automated systems. With an 8 mm diameter and a holding force of up to 1.6 N, it is typically used in pick-and-place operations where gentle, controlled gripping is required. This suction cup is typically installed in pneumatic vacuum systems used in assembly lines, packaging equipment, and small component handling setups.

Special Features and Benefits of the Festo 8mm NBR Suction Cup 1.6N Holding Force

Made from NBR (nitrile rubber), the suction cup offers good flexibility and surface sealing on smooth materials. NBR is widely used in industrial environments because it performs reliably under regular operating conditions and maintains its shape during repeated cycles.

• NBR suction cup material.
• 8 mm suction diameter.
• M5 threaded connection.
• Designed for vacuum-based handling.

Small Suction Cup for Light Pick-and-Place Tasks

With a holding force of approximately 1.6 N, this suction cup is intended for light-duty tasks rather than heavy lifting. It provides a consistent grip for small components, such as plastic parts, lightweight metal pieces, and flat items with smooth surfaces. The cup is often used where precise positioning matters more than high holding strength, helping reduce damage to delicate parts during transfer.

Wide Application Range

It is generally paired with vacuum generators, fittings, and robotic arms in compact automation setups.

• Pick-and-place automation systems
• Small component handling
• Packaging and sorting equipment
• Assembly lines handling lightweight parts
