AFS Large-Diameter Flat Vacuum Cups
Large flat vacuum cups with a rigid metal mounting plate and a black nitrile-rubber contact face for industrial vacuum handling. The wide ribbed underside helps distribute suction across broad, relatively flat workpieces.
- Three selectable nominal diameters: 160, 230 and 300 mm
- Black nitrile rubber for wear and oil resistance
- Rigid metal mounting plate
- G1/4 vacuum port
- Model drawings show cup, plate, port, hole and overall-height dimensions
- Ribbed contact-face structure for broad-area vacuum distribution
AFS-160, AFS-230 or AFS-300: check contact area and mount
These three large flat cups use black nitrile rubber and a rigid mounting plate. Select for the available sealed surface and mounting pattern, not simply the largest diameter that fits nearby.
| Selection detail | What to check |
|---|---|
| AFS-160 / AFS-230 / AFS-300 | Check the selected diameter against a continuous usable contact area. |
| G1/4 port and mounting plate | Verify hole pattern, overall height and connection access in the drawing. |
| Large panels | Assess leakage, support spacing, deflection and retention as a complete system. |
Can I calculate a safe payload from nominal cup diameter alone?
No. Actual vacuum, effective sealing area, leakage, load direction and acceleration matter. Use an application-specific safety assessment and the appropriate retention measures.

Applications / Suitable For
- Automated handling of glass, sheet metal and coated panels
- Large flat parts in fabrication, loading and transfer systems
- End-of-arm tooling that requires a broad suction contact area
Confirm the selected diameter, mounting pattern, port, workpiece surface, vacuum level, leakage rate, payload, acceleration and operating environment before use. Large or heavy workpieces require an application-specific safety factor and redundant retention measures. No food-contact, medical, personnel-lifting, overhead-lifting or regulatory certification is claimed.
