SMC ZP2-R8030WS-04-B5 | ZP2 Series Oval Vacuum Pad 80x30mm Lateral Inlet Without Buffer Silicone Rubber One-Touch Fitting Non-Rotating

The SMC ZP2-R8030WS-04-B5 is a large oval vacuum pad from the ZP2 series, configured with lateral vacuum inlet and non-rotating design for handling wide rectangular workpieces requiring side-entry pneumatic connections. The 80x30mm oval pad footprint is the largest standard oval size in the ZP2 lineup, delivering maximum rectangular contact area for secure gripping of large flat panels, sheet materials, packaging blanks, and oversized components in automated production lines.

How does silicone rubber benefit large oval pad applications? The "S" material designation specifies silicone rubber construction, offering the widest operating temperature range of any standard pad material at -30°C to +180°C. For large pads like the 80x30mm configuration, silicone's temperature resistance is especially valuable in applications handling warm sheet metal from stamping presses, thermoformed plastic parts, baked ceramic substrates, and other heat-processed workpieces. Silicone also provides excellent mark-free performance on polished and coated surfaces.

The lateral vacuum entry ("R" prefix) with ø4mm one-touch fitting ("04") routes pneumatic tubing parallel to the gripping surface, significantly reducing the total assembly profile compared to vertical entry alternatives. This is critical for large oval pads that are often mounted in close-pitch multi-pad arrays on custom gripping tooling where vertical space above the pad is limited. The non-rotating "W" mechanism ensures the oval pad maintains its intended orientation throughout high-speed automation cycles, preventing workpiece misalignment.

The bufferless configuration delivers maximum rigidity and fastest contact response, making this pad well suited for flat, consistent-height workpieces where compliance is unnecessary. This pad is RoHS compliant and integrates with SMC's complete vacuum product ecosystem including generators, switches, filters, and silencers.
