SMC ZP3-T16BNK10-B5 Vacuum Pad | ZP3 Series Vacuum Pad With Buffer Compact Type Ø4, Ø6, Ø8

The SMC ZP3-T16BNK10-B5 vacuum pad is a member of the ZP3 Series, engineered for compact and space-saving vacuum applications in manufacturing and automation environments.

• Pad Diameter Range: Designed for versatility, the ZP3 series supports pad diameters from 1.5 mm up to 16 mm, including common sizes Ø4, Ø6, and Ø8 for this model, providing adaptable solutions for handling small to medium-sized workpieces with precision.
• Compact Design & Space Efficiency: This vacuum pad features an overall reduced length compared to previous models, accomplished by shortening the buffer body and reducing profile size. This enables installation in confined spaces while maintaining optimal suction performance.
• Vacuum Inlet Options: Supports vertical vacuum entry with multiple fitting options including one-touch and barb fittings suitable for Ø2 tubing, offering quick and secure connection without additional tools, which improves operational efficiency and reduces assembly time.
• Pad Types Supported: Compatible with flat, flat with groove, and bellows pad forms—each tailored for specific surface profiles and workpiece conditions to ensure secure adhesion and reliable handling during automated processes.
• Buffer Stroke Capability: Includes an integrated buffer with stroke options up to 20 mm, providing cushioning to accommodate slight positional variations and protect both the vacuum pad and the workpiece during high-speed pick-and-place operations.
• Material and Durability: Constructed with specialized elastomers such as NBR, FKM, or silicone rubber (exact material configurable), this enables excellent chemical resistance, durability, and adaptable surface compliance to optimize vacuum sealing and reduce wear.

This vacuum pad is ideal for high-precision automated material handling systems in robotics, packaging, and assembly lines where compact form factor and buffer integration are critical. It is RoHS compliant, ensuring environmentally responsible manufacturing standards.

Technical specifications and CAD models are available to support system integration and design planning.
