ZPT40CN-A14 threaded vacuum flat suction cup assembly

The ZPT40CN-A14 comes from SMC’s ZPT series of heavy-duty vacuum pads, which carry a diameter of 40 mm in this size. The CN code indicates a nitrile rubber pad material with a flat shape, and the A14 part of the code refers to the adapter and the connection thread as described in the SMC catalogue. Flat pads with a stable lip are used to lift flat and rigid workpieces such as sheet metal, plastic panels and cartons, with minimal deformation of the pad. Nitrile suits general-purpose handling and oily surfaces. The pad is screwed on the vacuum line fitting of a ejector or gripper manifold. The pad can have a rib for improved rigidity. It is used in automated pick-and-place, packaging and press-line transfer.
