FAQs
The M/58408/02 uses a common G1/8 port and a 40 mm diameter bellows cup, aligning with many off-the-shelf vacuum manifolds and robotic grippers. Its aluminium body keeps weight low for high-speed cycles, while the silicone elastomer seal maintains grip on varied surface geometries. For retrofit projects, verify connector sizing, mounting pattern, and any sealing clearances to ensure seamless integration with existing automation cells.
When installing a G1/8 port cup, ensure your vacuum supply delivers stable pressure without pulsations. Check thread tolerances and mounting hardware compatibility, confirm the gasket or O-ring seating, and verify clearance to prevent interference with moving parts. For high-cycle applications, plan for regular inspection of the elastomer seal and bellows integrity to maintain consistent performance.
Yes. The cup is rated for -30 to 200 °C, enabling use across hot process lines or cooling phases without losing grip. The silicone elastomer seals support chemical resistance and durability in demanding environments. For extreme cycles, validate your specific process temperatures and exposure durations against the datasheet and schedule preventive maintenance accordingly.
Key certifications to verify for vacuum components typically include CE for EU safety and EMI/EMC considerations, IP ratings for ingress protection, and SIL considerations in safety-critical systems. The M/58408/02 data provided does not list certifications; consult the datasheet and the supplier to confirm current certification status and the appropriate declarations for your market.
The bellows design with level compensation reduces part rejection due to tilt and surface irregularities, potentially lowering scrap rates and downtime. The lightweight aluminium body supports higher cycle speeds, while silicone elastomer seals offer durability in challenging environments, reducing seal replacements. Overall, you can expect lower maintenance cost and improved operator throughput with regular inspection aligned to your automation schedule.
