Self-locking vacuum cups with traction release

Self-Sustaining Vacuum Cups

These innovative vacuum cups operate without the need for a connection to any vacuum source. The object they are placed on evacuates the air inside the cup, and a built-in non-return valve ensures the air remains out, maintaining the vacuum.

How They Work:

• Securing the Load: Once placed on the surface, the air is evacuated, and the vacuum is maintained by the non-return valve.
• Releasing the Load: Lifting the load by a few millimeters opens the non-return valve, restoring atmospheric pressure inside the cup and allowing air to enter.

Applications: These cups are ideal for securely holding objects with smooth, impermeable surfaces such as:

• Glass
• Polished sheets
• Similar delicate materials

They are particularly well-suited for use in glass-carrying trolleys and robotic feeding systems.

Material and Customization: Constructed from nickel-plated brass with a steel drive bush, these vacuum cups can be provided in an anti-rotation version upon request for enhanced functionality.
