Vacuum Cups
Vaccon offers a wide range of vacuum cup styles, materials, sizes and capabilities. Fittings in multiple styles are available individually or as a cup assembly for each cup group. The dual durometer and non-marking cups have their own fitting groups. Please consult the downloadable product data sheets below for the correct fitting for the cup(s) you are looking to purchase. As is true in most vacuum applications, there is more than one correct answer. In order to successfully find the best cups and generators for a specific task, it is helpful to review our Vacuum Cup reference manterials:

Comparison Chart For Vacuum Cups | ||||
Cup Type | Product Image | Description | Features and Benefits | Downloads |
Bellows | ![]() |
Bellows cups have a pliable outer rim that will conform to curved or uneven surfaces while the bellows sections compensate for inconsistent stack heights. Under vacuum the accordion-style bellows cup will collapse on contact. The collapsing action simulates a short cylinder stroke lifting the product for a short distance, possibly saving the need for a separate lifting mechanism. |

Dual Durometer | ![]() |
Dual Durometer Cups are a durable combination of polyurethane with 30 and 60 durometers (stiffness), offering long wear and excellent sealing capability for uneven and porous surfaces. Available in single and double bellows models. |

Flat and Universal | ![]() |
Flat cups without cleats are strong and flexible and work well in applications that do not require lifting heavy loads. Flat cups with cleats are strong with a rigid, low profile that will lift heavy loads vertically. Well suited for smooth, flat, heavy objects such as steel, glass (television picture tubes) and coated corrugated. Universal cups can handle flat or slightly curved surfaces. |
