Festo 20 mm Polyurethane Suction Cup ESS-20-EU M6

This suction cup is designed to provide reliable vacuum gripping in industrial automation and handling systems. It connects via a vacuum port and is intended for applications where a compact polyurethane pad is required to engage and retain objects using negative pressure. The connection is positioned on the top for straightforward integration with vertically oriented tubing or fittings.

• M6 connection provides compact installation and secure fastening
• 17N holding force supports light-load pick-and-place operations
• Polyurethane pad resists wear and adapts to uneven surfaces
• RoHS-compliant construction minimises hazardous substances in assemblies
• Top-entry vacuum orientation simplifies vertical hose routing

• Suitable for small electronic component handling in pick-and-place
• Ideal for automated packaging of lightweight items
• Used with robotic end-effectors for parts presentation
• Can be used for assembly-line temporary retention tasks
• Appropriate for gripping curved or slightly irregular surfaces

The vacuum inlet faces upwards, which is optimal for vertical tubing runs and reduces the risk of condensate entering the line.

The polyurethane contact surface is suited to non-porous and semi-porous materials where some surface conformity aids sealing, but very abrasive substrates will increase wear.

With a static holding capability of 17N, allowances must be made for inertial forces during acceleration

The pad and components meet RoHS requirements, indicating restricted use of certain hazardous substances during manufacture, relevant for regulated assemblies.
