Which suction cup should I choose for handling sheet metal and stamped parts?

For oiled sheet, the CVL suction cup in NBR nitrile 55 Shore A is suitable: this material has excellent resistance to oils. You then choose the shape (round or oblong, flat or bellows), the thread (male or female 3/8G) and the diameter according to the lifting force you need, given for each part number.

Material: NBR nitrile, polyamide insert

CVL suction cups are made of NBR nitrile 55 Shore A, with a PA polyamide 6.6 insert that reduces weight and an NBR nitrile O-ring.

Magnetic suction cups in polyurethane of 60° hardness are also available.

Reading the lifting force

The lifting force of CVL cups is measured at 65% on dry, smooth, flat sheet, with no safety factor: apply your own factor for the sheet condition and the line's accelerations.

For magnetic suction cups, the force F is given in newtons at −0.6 bar of vacuum.

Shape and mounting

Suction cups come round or oblong, flat or bellows, with a male or female 3/8G thread. They mount on the spring-axis supports of the grippers (G 3/8 thread on the cup side).
