SMC ZP2-R3507WN-04-B5 | ZP2 Series Oval Vacuum Pad 35x7mm Lateral Inlet Without Buffer NBR Rubber One-Touch Fitting Non-Rotating

The SMC ZP2-R3507WN-04-B5 is a narrow oval vacuum pad from the ZP2 series with lateral vacuum inlet, configured without buffer for maximum rigidity and direct gripping force transfer. The compact 35x7mm oval pad dimensions provide a highly elongated contact profile with a 5:1 aspect ratio, specifically engineered for gripping very narrow workpieces, thin strip materials, ribbon cables, and slender components that cannot be reliably handled with round or wider oval pads.

What advantages does the lateral vacuum entry offer over vertical? The "R" prefix designates lateral (side-entry) vacuum connection via one-touch fitting, which positions the pneumatic tubing parallel to the workpiece surface rather than perpendicular. This configuration reduces the total stack height of the pad assembly, enabling installation in tight vertical clearance situations and simplifying tubing routing in multi-pad arrays. The ø4mm one-touch fitting ("04") provides secure, tool-free pneumatic connection for rapid installation and maintenance.

Constructed from NBR (nitrile rubber) designated by the "N" material code, this pad delivers reliable vacuum sealing with excellent resistance to oils and industrial chemicals across a 0°C to +70°C operating range. The non-rotating "W" design locks the oval pad orientation to prevent workpiece rotation during high-speed pick-and-place cycling, which is particularly important with narrow oval geometries where even slight angular misalignment can cause workpiece drop or placement errors at the target station.

The bufferless configuration provides maximum stiffness for applications requiring precise Z-axis positioning and fast contact-to-seal response times. This pad is RoHS compliant and part of SMC's ZP2 series lateral entry oval lineup, designed for integration with vacuum generators, ejectors, and pneumatic valve systems.
