Technical Overview

The Festo 1377689 (VASB-15-1/8-SI-B) is a professional-grade vacuum suction cup engineered for precise material handling in industrial automation. This complete unit features a transparent, 15mm diameter bellows suction cup with 1.5 convolutions, manufactured from high-quality VMQ silicone. Designed to excel in extreme thermal conditions, it operates seamlessly across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +200°C. The bellows design inherently provides 5.6mm of height compensation, making it exceptionally effective for securely gripping curved, uneven, or sloped workpiece surfaces while absorbing landing impacts. An integrated G1/8 threaded vacuum port, precision-machined from durable wrought aluminum alloy, ensures a robust top-mount connection to automated robotic arms. Rated for moderate corrosion stress (CRC Class 2) and capable of delivering an 8.5 N holding force at a nominal pressure of -0.7 bar, the VASB series is ideal for demanding pick-and-place applications.

Industrial Applications

1. High-Temperature PCB Assembly

Safely lifting and positioning hot printed circuit boards and sensitive electronic components directly following thermal reflow processes.

Problem Solved

Prevents thermal degradation and melting of suction pads when contacting high-temperature components, while reducing impact stress on delicate parts.

VMQ Silicone200°C Temperature ResistancePick and Place

2. Packaging of Irregular Containers

Handling dynamically contoured or flexible food and consumer goods packaging safely in fast-paced robotic sorting cells.

Problem Solved

The 1.5 convolutions compensate for varying product heights (up to 5.6 mm) and contoured surfaces, preventing mis-picks and lost vacuum seals.
