Festo 40 mm Polyurethane Suction Cup VAS-40-1/4-PUR-B G 1/4

This suction cup is a vacuum‑handling component designed for automated pick‑and‑place and material handling in industrial environments. It operates with atmospheric Air and a vacuum source, connecting via a G1/4 vacuum port on the TOP face to facilitate vertical vacuum entry. The pad material provides moderate corrosion resistance and a broad ambient temperature range for typical factory conditions.

• 60 N retention force enables secure gripping of moderate loads
• Shore hardness 60±5 offers balanced flexibility and durability
• Operating pressure range -0.95 to 0 bar supports near‑full vacuum applications
• Ambient temperature -20 to 60 °C allows wide environmental use
• Top‑positioned vacuum entry simplifies vertical pick‑up arrangements
• Corrosion resistance classification CRC2 resists moderate corrosive atmospheres

• Suitable for automated handling of electronic assemblies requiring gentle contact
• Ideal for vacuum transfer of light mechanical components on production lines
• Used with robotic grippers where a TOP vacuum connection is preferred
• Can be used for short‑stroke conveyor pick‑up and placement tasks
• Suitable for fixtures handling items sensitive to surface marking

It is intended for atmospheric Air compliant with ISO 8573‑1:2010 particulate/quality classes as the operating medium.

It is mounted via a G1/4 vacuum port using a threaded vacuum connection and a zinc die‑cast threaded plug interface.

The pad has an effective suction diameter of 34.4mm and a nominal suction volume of 3.47 cm3, which define contact area and internal Air capacity.

No — the sealing ring is not included in the delivered scope and must be sourced separately.

It weighs 26 g and may be assembled in any orientation, with a 3mm height compensator to accept slight misalignment.
