Bellows Vacuum Suction Cups

Flexible Vacuum Handling for Uneven and Variable-Height Products

Bellows vacuum suction cups combine a flexible sealing lip with one or more bellows sections that can compress as the cup contacts the product. This built-in movement helps compensate for height variation and reduces the need for extremely precise approach positioning.

Bellows cups are also useful where products are convex, concave or uneven. Multiple-bellows designs can deform further to follow irregular surfaces, making this cup style especially valuable in packaging, food handling and automated pick-and-place.

Bellows Vacuum Cup Options

• Diameters from 5 mm to 200 mm
• NBR rubber options
• Silicone rubber options
• FDA-compliant silicone options
• Metal-detectable silicone options
• Single- and multiple-bellows geometries across the range

Why Choose a Bellows Vacuum Cup?

• The bellows act as a small vertical compliance mechanism, helping the cup adapt when the product height varies or the machine approach is not perfectly repeatable.
• This flexibility can also improve sealing on curved or irregular product surfaces compared with a rigid flat-cup arrangement.

Common Applications

• Food and beverage packaging
• Cartons and paper products
• Plastic containers and molded parts
• Bag and pouch handling
• Robotic pick-and-place
• Packaging machinery
• General automated material handling
