Rubber cupping products use flexible cup materials to create suction during cupping therapy. This category includes natural rubber cupping sets and rubber-glass suction cups in different sizes and configurations for body, limb and facial applications.

 

Product Overview

 

Industrial rubber suction cups are vacuum gripping components used as the interface between automated handling systems and workpieces. They are designed for pick-and-place, transfer, positioning, and loading operations in robotic, pneumatic, and vacuum handling equipment.


Different cup geometries, elastomer compounds, sealing profiles, and connection configurations are available to accommodate variations in workpiece weight, surface condition, shape, temperature, and handling requirements.


Standard configurations cover general industrial handling, while application-specific options can be specified for oily surfaces, elevated temperatures, static-control requirements, and sensitive substrates.

FAQ

 

Q: How do I select the right rubber suction cup for my application?

A: Start with the workpiece weight, surface condition, shape, dimensions, temperature, vacuum level, and handling speed. These factors determine the appropriate cup diameter, geometry, rubber compound, hardness, and connection type. For engineering selection, providing these operating details allows the suction cup configuration to be evaluated more accurately.

Q: Which rubber compound should I use for oily metal sheets?

A: NBR is commonly considered for applications involving mineral oils and oily metal surfaces. The final compound and hardness should be selected according to the oil type, operating temperature, surface condition, vacuum level, and handling requirements. FKM can be considered when higher temperature or specific chemical resistance is required.

Q: Are suction cups available for curved or uneven surfaces?

A: Yes. Bellows and application-specific cup geometries can accommodate suitable variations in workpiece height, curvature, and surface profile. The correct design depends on the workpiece geometry and the required vacuum seal.

Q: Can you provide suction cups with customized threads or mounting interfaces?

A: Yes. Custom internal or external threads, stems, metal inserts, and other mounting interfaces can be developed according to the vacuum circuit and mechanical mounting requirements. Engineering drawings should be reviewed before tooling confirmation.

Q: What information should I provide when requesting a quotation?

A: Useful information includes the workpiece material, weight, dimensions, surface condition, curvature, operating temperature, vacuum level, handling speed, required cup quantity, connection type, and expected operating environment. A drawing or photo of the workpiece can also help with configuration review.

Q: What documentation can be supplied with the order?

A: Depending on the product and order requirements, documentation can include product specifications, inspection records, material information, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and applicable RoHS or REACH compliance statements. Any required documentation should be confirmed before order production.
