Ordering a ZP-U cup or a separate buckle ring
The ZP-U selector includes cups and separately listed buckle rings. Choose the complete cup label first; a buckle-ring option is not a complete suction cup.
| Listed ring option | Group stated in the selector |
|---|---|
| Small Buckle Ring | For 10–16 |
| Medium Buckle Ring | For 20–32 |
| Large Buckle Ring | For 40–50 |
These are selector groups, not measured ring dimensions. Verify the retained cup and ring drawing together. Mini ZP10US, ZP32UN High Quality and ZP03 White are separate labels; do not assume the standard model's dimensions or material apply to them.
Applications and Suitable Workpieces
ZP-U Series Flat Vacuum Suction Cups & Buckle Rings: Flat suction cups provide stable positioning on smooth, flat or only slightly curved non-porous workpieces.
Recommended applications
- Sheet metal, glass, smooth plastic parts, coated panels, electronics panels and other flat industrial components.
- Machine loading and unloading, sorting, assembly, transfer and general automated pick-and-place.
- Thin sheets where a low internal volume and controlled vacuum can help reduce movement during pickup.
Model and selection notes
- ZP-U diameter and S/N material suffix define cup size and material. Buckle rings and special mini/high-quality variants are selected separately.
- Select diameter according to the available sealing area, workpiece mass, acceleration and mounting direction.
- Silicone suits clean parts and wider temperature conditions; NBR suits general industrial use, abrasion and lightly oily surfaces; conductive grades are only for static-sensitive handling where identified.
- Rough, porous, deeply curved or perforated surfaces may not seal. Confirm holding force on the actual part with an appropriate safety factor.
