Festo ESS-10-BN Vacuum Suction Cup

Model Identifier ESS-10-BN
Official Part Number 189374
GTIN Standard 4052568042455

Technical Overview

The Festo ESS-10-BN (part number 189374) is a 10mm diameter vacuum suction cup designed for compact pneumatic handling systems. Constructed from wear-resistant Nitrile Rubber (NBR) with a nickel-plated brass M4 vacuum connection stud, it features a 1.5-convolution round bellows design. This structure provides up to 4mm of height compensation, making it ideal for gripping slightly uneven surfaces or handling workpieces with varying heights. Rated for an operating pressure range of -0.95 to 0 bar, this suction cup delivers a nominal holding force of 4.7 N and is suitable for an ambient temperature range of -10°C to 70°C. It is widely used in lightweight pick-and-place automation, small assembly tasks, and packaging lines that require reliable, continuous material transfer.

Industrial Applications

1. Automated Packaging Lines

Utilized in robotic pick-and-place systems to securely lift and move lightweight cardboard or plastic packaging components.

Problem Solved

The 1.5-convolution bellows provides 4mm of height compensation, easily accommodating minor variations in box height or slightly warped materials without dropping the payload.

Pick-and-placeHeight compensationHolding forcePneumatic handling

2. Electronics Assembly & Transfer

Integrated into compact pneumatic grippers for transferring small plastic housings or electronic module covers during intricate assembly procedures.

Problem Solved

The small 10mm diameter combined with the non-marring NBR material ensures a stable 4.7N grip without damaging fragile or smooth-surfaced miniature parts.

3. Injection Molding Part Ejection

Employed on robotic take-out arms to cleanly extract freshly molded plastic components from injection molding machines.

Problem Solved

Capable of operating in ambient temperatures up to 70°C, the NBR suction cup firmly grips newly molded parts with a minimum workpiece radius of 20mm, streamlining the high-speed ejection phase.
