Vacuum Products
SMC vacuum products are devices that generate, control, and use vacuum pressure for handling and transporting objects, especially in automation and material handling applications. Instead of pushing with compressed air like actuators, vacuum products create suction that allows machines to pick up, hold, and release workpieces reliably and efficiently.
Description
Key categories include:
- Vacuum ejectors – compact units that generate vacuum from compressed air using the Venturi principle, ideal for lightweight, decentralized systems.
- Vacuum pumps – provide a continuous vacuum source for larger or centralized systems.
- Vacuum pads (suction cups) – grip and hold objects of different shapes, sizes, and surfaces, from smooth glass to rough packaging.
- Vacuum filters and regulators – keep vacuum lines clean and maintain stable suction levels.
- Vacuum sensors and switches – monitor pressure and provide feedback for automated control.
