Suction Cups Hold Fast to Sheet Metal

"In many industrial sectors where sheet metal handling is required, vacuum handling is increasingly used, and suction cups have become an essential element of safety, reliability and productivity. With CTC high performance bell-type suction cups, COVAL has brought manufacturers the best of both flat and bellows suction cups to enhance system efficiency," said a company spokesperson.

The main feature of this range of CTC suction cups is its bell shape. This new design combines the advantages of flat and bellows suction cups. They have the strength and anti-slip qualities of the former, with the added abilities of the latter to grip complex or angular shapes.

The CTC cup series has a large deflection capability, adapting easily to gripping flat, convex or angular sheet metal.

Their anti-slip cleats make it easy to move heavy, oily sheets quickly and efficiently, while their central stops help ensure that thin sheets are gripped tightly without deforming them.

CTC's high-performance bell-type suction cups are available in a wide range of diameters (four diameters from 40 to 100 mm) and mounting configurations (3/8G male or female and 32 mm square). All are made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for excellent resistance to wear and oil.
