Anver Corp. has introduced its new 1.5 Bellows Vacuum Cups that are approximately the size of a pencil eraser. These miniature vacuum cups are available in two sizes and come in two different material options — silicone and neoprene. They are strong enough to pick and place watch batteries, yet gentle enough to handle pharmaceuticals.
Each Vacuum Cup features a soft seal lip to handle flexible and stacked loads that may be curved or lightly textured/corrugated. Their spring action compensates for height variances in the load or machine inaccuracies, and they can be used in any orientation. With diameters ranging from just 6.2 to 9.6 mm, the products are designed to duplicate the function of mechanical springs and ball-joint connectors in a much smaller and more economical package.
