Vacuum Pad Oval Type VP3.5×7ES — Specifications, Applications & Design Insights Overview The Vacuum Pad Oval Type VP3.5×7ES is an oval-shaped vacuum suction pad engineered for precision handling in automated systems. Its compact 3.5 × 7 mm footprint makes it especially effective in applications where limited surface area and space constraints are critical. This pad is part of the broader category of oval vacuum pads, commonly used across industries for reliable, secure vacuum gripping of non-standard and flat workpieces — especially in assembly automation, semiconductors, electronics, and precision manufacturing. Key Specifications Attribute Details Model VP3.5×7ES Cup Pad Shape Oval vacuum pad / cup Pad Size 3.5 mm × 7 mm Typical Material Rubber (could include NBR, silicone; depending on variant) Exterior Color Black Weight Approx. 0.1 kg Static-Dissipative Options Conductive silicone or conductive NBR variants available (for ESD-safe handling) Compliance ROHS-compliant to restrict hazardous substances Vacuum Pad Type Oval flat type — ideal for elongated, flat, or narrow parts Note: The exact material and performance attributes (e.g., resistance to temperature, abrasion, static charge) depend on the specific material code (e.g., NBR, NE, conductive silicone). Design & Construction Insights Oval Geometry The oval design delivers optimized contact area for long and narrow surfaces — outperforming round pads in stability and grip on rectangular or elongated workpieces. The shape reduces the risk of slippage and improves vacuum transfer efficiency. Precision Material Engineering NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber): Offers excellent wear resistance and general industrial durability. Conductive Rubber Variants: Provide low surface resistivity for static dissipation, critical in electronic assembly or semiconductor manufacturing environments where ESD can damage sensitive components. These materials ensure stable suction performance and extended pad life when properly matched to the workpiece and environment. Compact, Efficient Profile The small size (3.5 × 7 mm) makes VP3.5×7ES ideal for high-density automation systems where space is at a premium and precision vacuum placement is required. Its low mass also enables faster cycle times without compromising suction integrity. Typical Applications The Vacuum Pad Oval Type VP3.5×7ES excels in scenarios where surface area is limited or unusually shaped: High-Precision Manufacturing Semiconductor wafer handling Micro-electronics assembly Flat display unit production Wearable device components These industries demand exact gripping force without marking, scratching or impacting sensitive surfaces. Automated Pick-and-Place Systems Used in robotic arms and conveyors for fast pick-up and release of lightweight parts such as PCBs, electronic modules, thin packaging, and optical components. Food & Beverage Handling In food automation lines with stringent hygiene requirements, vacuum pads ensure secure handling of flat or small food items during sorting or packaging (when pad materials are food-grade compatible). Why Choose This Vacuum Pad / Cups? Enhanced Contact on Narrow Parts: The oval footprint ensures reliable grip on lengths where circular pads fail. Static Control Options: Conductive variants allow safer handling of sensitive electronics. ROHS Regulatory Compliance: Meets environmental and safety standards. Lightweight & Compact: Supports high-speed automation with minimal inertia.
