SMC ZP3-T13BNK10-B5 ZP3 Series Vacuum Pad With Buffer Compact Type ?4??6??8

SMC ZP3-T13BNK10-B5 Vacuum Pad - ZP3 Series Compact Vacuum Suction Cup with Buffer

This vacuum pad from SMC's ZP3 Series features a compact and space-saving design optimized for industrial vacuum handling applications. With pad diameters available from Ø1.5 mm up to Ø16 mm, it supports a wide range of small to medium-sized workpieces requiring precise suction and handling.

The ZP3-T13BNK10-B5 model is equipped with an integrated buffer mechanism which absorbs shock during adsorption, enhancing reliability and extending the vacuum pad’s service life. The compact buffer body reduces overall length significantly—up to a 75% reduction in pad unit area compared to conventional models—facilitating installation in tight spaces and compact automation systems.

The product supports vertical vacuum inlet connection and offers versatile piping options including one-touch fittings and barb fittings compatible with Ø2 mm tubing, enabling quick and secure installation while minimizing footprint and tubing complexity.

The pad form is optimized for non-deforming flat workpieces, available in designs including flat, flat with groove, and bellows types, ensuring effective suction force and stable gripping. The combination of pad materials such as NBR and silicone rubber provides durability and resistance suited for industrial environments.

Key technical features include:

• Pad Diameter Range: Ø1.5 to Ø16 mm, supporting precise handling of small components
• Compact overall length design reduces installation space requirements
• Vertical vacuum inlet with option of one-touch or barb fittings for Ø2 mm tubing
• Buffer mechanism for shock absorption with selectable stroke lengths (3mm to 20mm typical in series)
• Pad material options: NBR, FKM, silicone, and conductive variants for specialized applications
• Pad types: flat, flat with groove, bellows, to suit various surface conditions and workpiece geometries
• RoHS compliant manufacturing ensuring environmental and safety standards

This design streamlines vacuum system integration in manufacturing and automation settings where space constraints and reliable suction function are critical. The reduced stroke buffer and compact pad dimensions improve cycle times and reliability in pick-and-place, packaging, and electronics assembly operations.
