Suction Cups

Vacuum Cups for Reliable Gripping, Lifting and Transfer

Vacuum suction cups provide a simple and versatile way to grip products in automated handling systems. PneumaticHub offers flat, bellows, oval and specialty cup styles in multiple elastomer materials for applications ranging from high-speed packaging to metal, glass and food handling.

Cup geometry and material strongly influence gripping performance. Flat cups are often selected for fast handling of smooth rigid surfaces, while bellows cups can provide compliance for uneven heights or curved parts. Material selection should consider wear, temperature, marking, food contact and chemical exposure.
