Vacuum suction cups transfer the vacuum to the workpiece — the part of the system that physically grips the load. NorTrade distributes the Norgren range: M/58300 flat cups (Ø 6 to 150 mm) for stable lifts of pliable, flat materials, and M/58400 bellows cups (Ø 10 to 150 mm) for curved surfaces or when level compensation is required. Both available in NBR (general industrial) or VMQ silicone (high-temperature to +200 °C, weather/ozone-resistant), with flexible connectors and level compensators (M/58007…M/58009).


Flat suction cup

Bellows suction cup
Flat (M/58300) when the workpiece is flat, rigid and the cup needs minimal vertical movement — packaging boxes, glass sheets, metal panels. Bellows (M/58400) when the surface is curved, when the lift involves vertical offset, or when the cup must compensate for product-height variation — bottles, contoured automotive parts, irregular castings.
NBR (-10 … +70 °C) is the general-industrial default, robust against oils and most chemicals. VMQ silicone (-30 … +200 °C) is the right choice for high-temperature work (hot-sheet handling, just-baked products), for food contact (silicone is widely food-compliant), and for very low temperatures. NBR is cheaper, VMQ has wider operating range.
Cup diameter sets the lift capacity. Roughly: F (N) ≈ 0.1 × A (mm²) × p (bar) / safety factor (use a factor of at least 2, per the datasheet). A Ø 50 mm cup at -0.7 bar holds about 50 N; a Ø 150 mm cup at -0.7 bar holds about 450 N. For multi-cup tools the total holds sum. Our engineers can size against your specific load + safety target.
The level compensator is a spring-loaded telescoping connector that lets the cup ride down to meet the workpiece even if the part position varies slightly in height. Essential for handling parts on a conveyor with sub-mm height jitter, or on a stack of varying total height. Available as an accessory for both M/58300 and M/58400.
