Connect Vacuum Cups Securely to Machinery and Vacuum Lines
Vacuum suction cup fittings provide the mechanical and vacuum connection between the suction cup and the machine or vacuum source. The source range supports VFB single-bellows, VFBL multiple-bellows, VFF flat, B1.5 single-bellows and B2.5 double-bellows cup families.
Available thread options include male and female NPT as well as universal male threads, allowing cup assemblies to be integrated into a wide range of end-of-arm tooling, automation and pick-and-place systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a vacuum cup fitting do?
It connects the suction cup mechanically to the machine and provides a path for vacuum flow.
Which cup series are supported?
The source range lists VFB, VFBL, VFF, B1.5 and B2.5 cup families.
What thread options are available?
The source description lists male NPT, female NPT and universal male threads.
Can fittings be replaced separately from the cup?
Many cup systems use separate fittings so the mounting interface can be serviced or changed; confirm the exact cup model.
How do I choose the right fitting?
Match the cup series, cup diameter, thread type, vacuum port and machine mounting requirement.
Does fitting size affect vacuum performance?
Yes. An undersized flow path can slow evacuation or increase losses in high-flow applications.
Are fittings used on bellows and flat cups?
Yes. The source category supports both bellows and flat cup families.
Where are cup fittings commonly used?
They are used in robotic tooling, packaging, machine loading and other automated vacuum-handling systems.
