Adjustable E-Vac® Vacuum Generator with Straight Through Muffler

EXAIR's Adjustable E-Vac® is a series of low cost, compressed air powered vacuum generators where the vacuum and flow rates can be easily adjusted to suit the application requirements. These vacuum pumps are ideal for a wide variety of pick and place, box opening, clamping, lifting, chucking and surface mounting applications. They are maintenance free and have no moving parts to wear out. The Standard Muffler has a closed end and is suitable for applications that are free of dust and debris. The Straight Through Muffler is recommended where particulates are present since it will not accumulate debris that can erode performance. Straight Through Mufflers offer the best sound level reduction (up to 26 dBA).

The Adjustable E-Vac is maintenance-free, with no moving parts to wear out. Designed for high efficiency, these high vacuum pumps minimize compressed air usage by allowing fine-tuning to match the application. With a simple turn of the venturi unit, you can adjust the vacuum and flow levels to overcome porosity and modify the lifting power as needed.

To support various lifting tasks, EXAIR offers an extensive selection of vacuum suction cups compatible with the E-Vacs.

How The Adjustable E-Vac Works

Compressed air flows through the inlet (1), then through a single directed nozzle (2). As the airstream exhausts, it expands and increases in velocity prior to passing through the venturi (3). A vacuum inlet tangential to the primary airflow (4) is located at the suction point between the orifice and the venturi. The airflow that is drawn through the vacuum inlet mixes with the primary airstream, then exhausts on the opposite end (5).

The amount of vacuum flow can be adjusted. When facing the exhaust end, loosen the lock ring (turn counterclockwise), then turn the exhaust. To increase flow, turn the exhaust counterclockwise. To decrease flow, turn the exhaust clockwise. Be careful not to unthread the exhaust completely. There will be a point where no more vacuum flow can be achieved.

The amount of vacuum created varies with the porosity of the load being picked up. Units come from the factory set to 15” Hg if used on a solid, non-porous surface. A maximum of 25” Hg can be achieved on a solid, non-porous surface, but will require increasing the air consumption and vacuum flow.

EXAIR provides a comprehensive range of mufflers, tubing, check valves, and fittings to help you build a vacuum system tailored to your specific application. Alongside these E-Vac vacuum generator accessories, we offer additional items to aid in the preparation and control of compressed air.

For optimal performance of E-Vac vacuum generators, it is crucial to use clean, dry compressed air. Our Automatic Drain Filter Separators effectively remove contaminants and moisture, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your system. Additionally, our Oil Removal Filters eliminate oil particulates commonly found in compressed air systems.

We also supply pressure regulators, shutoff valves, compressed air hoses, fittings, and solenoid valves to electronically control the flow of compressed air.

Vacuum Cups -

EXAIR offers vacuum cups in a wide variety of sizes and shapes to meet the needs of your application. EXAIR's vacuum cups are made of vinyl that is ideal for geneeral purpose applications and provides excellent resistance to wear. The Durometer rating (used to indicate the flixibility and stiffness of the cup) is A50. The operating temperature is 32°F (0°C) to 125°F (51.7°C).

Mufflers -

Optional silencing mufflers are available that permit maximum exhaust of the E-Vac unit so cycle speed is not reduced. The Standard Muffler (for use with In-Line E-Vacs only) has a closed end and is suitable for applications that are free of dust and debris. The Straight Through Muffler is recommended where particulate is present since it will not accumulate debris that can erode performance. Straight Through Mufflers offer the best sound level reduction (up to 26 dBA).

Fittings and Tubing -

The vacuum port of the E-Vac has an NPT thread (a vacuum cup can be threaded directly into it). For vacuum cups that are remotely located, push-in connector fittings (most have global threads for use with NPT and BSP) can be installed on the E-Vac and the vacuum cup. Polyurethane vacuum tubing is available (10', 20', 30', 40' and 50' lengths) to connect them. For best performance, the length of the tubing should be minimized to achieve the best attach and release times.

Check Valve

A vacuum check valve is available to hold the vacuum in case of compressed air loss. It is designed for high flow so it doesn’t restrict airflow or slow the vacuum operation. Maximum vacuum can still be achieved without affecting the performance. E-Vac vacuum generators that are used without a check valve will release the load if there is a significant drop in compressed air pressure or the supply of compressed air is lost.
