Festo ESS-30-BN Vacuum Suction Cup M6

Model Identifier ESS-30-BN
Official Part Number 189382
GTIN Standard 4052568042516

Technical Overview

The Festo ESS-30-BN (part number 189382) is a professional-grade vacuum suction cup complete assembly designed for highly reliable automated material handling. It features a 30mm diameter, 1.5 convolution round bellows design made from highly durable black Nitrile Rubber (NBR) with a Shore hardness of 50. Equipped with a standard M6 vacuum connection, it delivers an optimal 26.2 N holding force and 24.5 N lateral force at a nominal operating pressure of -0.7 bar. Engineered with an 8mm height compensator, it easily accommodates uneven surfaces and securely grips workpieces with a minimum radius of 80mm. It operates seamlessly in temperatures ranging from -10 °C to 70 °C, ensuring precision handling in versatile industrial pneumatics applications.

Industrial Applications

1. Uneven Surface Part Transfer

Used in robotic pick-and-place stations for transferring stamped metal or molded plastic parts with curved profiles.

Problem Solved

The 8mm height compensator and 1.5 convolution bellows flexibly adapt to varied or uneven part geometries without losing the vacuum seal.

2. Packaging and Box Erecting Systems

Integrated into end-of-arm tooling on cartoning machines to handle cardboard blanks and lightweight packaging materials.

Problem Solved

The durable NBR construction provides excellent wear resistance while the 30mm diameter and 26.2 N holding force optimally grips surfaces without deformation.

3. Automated Glass and Sheet Handling

Employed in automated arrays for lifting and shifting delicate, slightly contoured sheets of glass, acrylic, or thin metal.

Problem Solved

Operates effectively on objects with a minimum workpiece radius down to 80mm, while the reliable 24.5 N lateral force ensures the load will not shift during high-speed lateral arm movements.
