Festo ESS-30-BS Vacuum Suction Cup

Model Identifier ESS-30-BS
Official Part Number 189384
GTIN Standard 4052568042530

Technical Overview

The Festo ESS-30-BS (189384) is an industrial-grade vacuum suction cup engineered for reliable robotic handling and automation. This complete unit features a 30 mm diameter silicone (VMQ) pad with a 1.5 convolution round bellows design, offering up to 8 mm of height compensation to conform to uneven, curved, or irregular workpieces (minimum radius 80 mm). Built for challenging thermal environments, the silicone material withstands ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to 180°C. With an integrated M6 male threaded connection, it quickly mounts to vacuum arms and delivers a secure 26.2 N of holding force at a nominal operating pressure of -0.7 bar. It is ideal for pick-and-place tasks requiring robust temperature resistance and adaptable surface sealing.

Key Features
