Vacuum Rubber Suckers
Mrright supplies vacuum rubber suckers for robot end-of-arm tooling and pick-and-place heads, used to lift sheet, board, film, glass, and packaging materials. Stock is held in Zhuhai and shipped worldwide on inquiry.
Overview
What This Part Does in Your Machine
Mrright supplies vacuum rubber suckers for robot end-of-arm tooling and pick-and-place heads, used to lift sheet, board, film, glass, and packaging materials. Stock is held in Zhuhai and shipped worldwide on inquiry. Cups are selected by diameter, shape, rubber compound, fitting thread, and optional spring level compensator. Consumable items are reordered in sets to maintain performance.
Key Benefits
- Cups are selected based on surface type, temperature, and part geometry to prevent leaks and drops
- Bellows cups absorb height differences and lift curved or uneven surfaces reliably
- Flat cups provide high-speed handling of rigid flat sheets with minimal settling time
- Sets are reordered to maintain consistent performance across multiple pick cycles
- Single-unit spares are accepted, which avoids downtime while waiting for a full batch
Problems It Solves
- A worn cup leaks vacuum and drops parts, causing line stoppages and product damage
- Using the wrong rubber compound for temperature or surface type leads to rapid degradation
- Flat cups fail on uneven or curved parts due to poor contact and air leakage
- Reordering individual cups causes mismatched performance across the tooling set
- Long lead times from overseas suppliers delay robot maintenance and production restart
Who It Is For
- Robot cell integrators specifying end-of-arm tooling for material handling
- Machine builders installing pick-and-place systems for electronics or packaging
- Maintenance and MRO buyers replacing failed vacuum cups on production robots
- Packaging and assembly plant operators managing routine wear items for automated lines
Application
Where Vacuum Rubber Suckers Is Used
Application Scenarios
- Replacing a worn vacuum cup on a robot that lifts glass panels in a packaging line
- Integrating a new pick-and-place head for film or board handling with consistent suction performance
- Maintaining a robot cell that handles varying part heights using bellows cups with spring compensators
- Reordering a set of cups after a sudden failure due to surface contamination or temperature exposure
Technical Features
- Available cup diameters selected to match the robot gripper and load requirements
- Cup shapes include flat, bellows, and oval for different part geometries and handling speeds
- Rubber compounds available: NBR, silicone, and natural rubber, selected for surface and temperature
- Fitting threads match common robot tooling standards, such as M6, M8 and 1/8 inch NPT - confirmed on inquiry
- Spring level compensators are available for bellows cups to maintain contact on uneven surfaces
- Cups are consumable items and are reordered in sets to ensure consistent performance
Specifications
What Is Confirmed Before You Order
Values that depend on the model you choose are marked as confirmed on quotation rather than guessed at here.
| Product type | Vacuum rubber sucker for robot end-of-arm tooling |
|---|---|
| Cup diameter | Selected per application - confirmed on inquiry |
| Cup shape | Flat, bellows, or oval - chosen based on part geometry |
| Rubber compound | NBR, silicone, or natural rubber - selected for surface and temperature |
| Spring compensator | Available for bellows cups - confirmed on inquiry |
| Consumable | Yes - replaced in sets to maintain performance |
| Minimum order | Single unit accepted |
| Ships from | Zhuhai, Guangdong, China |
Checks Before Despatch
- Cup shape, diameter, and thread verified against the customer's mounting interface
- Rubber compound selected based on surface and temperature data provided
- Packing list photographed before dispatch so the buyer can confirm contents
- Cups inspected for surface defects and uniform wall thickness before shipment
Customisation and Selection
- Cup size and shape matched to the robot gripper or existing part drawing
- Rubber compound selected based on material being handled and ambient temperature
- Spring compensator added where height variation is present on the part surface
- Cup set size adjusted to match the number of grippers on the robot tooling
Comparison
How It Compares
| Metal or plastic suction cups | Rubber cups provide better grip and conformability on uneven or soft surfaces |
|---|---|
| Single cup replacement | Reordering in sets ensures consistent vacuum performance across all grippers |
| Buying from a brand factory | Single units and mixed types are accepted here, and they ship in one consolidated order |
Use Guide
What to Send and What to Check
- Send a photo of the existing cup or the robot tooling mounting point
- Confirm cup diameter, shape, and thread size against the mounting interface
- State the material being handled and the operating temperature range
- Indicate if the part has height variation, requiring a spring compensator
- Request a set size that matches the number of grippers on the tooling

FAQ
Questions About Vacuum Rubber Suckers
Can I buy just one rubber sucker as a spare?
Yes. Single-unit orders are accepted. Send a photo or model number and the matching set will be quoted.
Which rubber compound should I use for high temperature?
Silicone rubber is recommended for high-temperature applications. Confirm the operating range before ordering.
Do you carry bellows cups with spring compensators?
Yes. Bellows cups with spring level compensators are available for handling parts with height variation.
Can I mix rubber suckers with other robot accessories in one order?
Yes. Vacuum cups can be combined with robot holders, pneumatic scissors, and other accessories in a single consolidated shipment.
What do you need from me to quote?
Send a photo of the cup or mounting point, specify diameter, shape, thread, material surface, temperature, and whether a spring compensator is needed.
