Festo ESS-2-SNA, 2mm Flat Suction Cup

The Festo ESS-2-SNA is a flat suction cup designed for handling tiny and lightweight parts. With a 2 mm suction diameter and a holding force of around 0.1 N, it is used where precision matters more than strength. This type of suction cup is common in compact automation setups where components are delicate and space is limited. It is typically installed on miniature vacuum grippers in systems that need controlled, repeatable movement of tiny parts.

Crucial Features and Benefits of the Festo 2mm Flat Suction Cup 0.1N Holding Force

This suction cup is meant for clean, smooth surfaces and low-mass items. Its flat design allows quick contact and release, which helps maintain cycle speed in automated processes.

• 2 mm flat suction surface.
• Approx. 0.1 N holding force.
• Suitable for very light components.
• Consistent grip on smooth surfaces.
• Performs best in applications where accuracy and repeatability are critical.

Small Suction Cup for Light Pick-and-Place Tasks

The ESS-2-SNA is used in small-scale vacuum handling systems where space is tight. It fits neatly into micro grippers and lightweight robotic tooling without adding bulk or complexity. Because of its size, it is usually used in systems that require precise positioning, such as small assembly lines or inspection stations.

Application Potential of the Product

It is often chosen when larger suction cups would be too aggressive or simply too large for the part being handled.

• Electronics component handling
• Small plastic or foil parts
• Light packaging elements
• Laboratory or testing setups
• Compact pneumatic automation systems
