SMC ZP3-T16UMNJ10-06 Vacuum Pad - ZP3 Series Compact Flat Type with Groove and Buffer

The SMC ZP3-T16UMNJ10-06 vacuum pad is engineered for advanced vacuum handling applications requiring a compact, space-efficient design coupled with reliable workpiece grip. It belongs to the ZP3 series featuring a flat pad with groove, optimized for flat, non-deformable surfaces with enhanced release capability due to the grooved adsorption face.

• Pad Diameter: 16 mm, suitable for precise handling of small to medium-sized components.
• Compact Design: The overall length is significantly shortened compared to conventional models, reducing equipment footprint and enabling installation in tight spaces.
• Buffer Type: Integrated buffer mechanism to absorb mechanical shock and protect both vacuum pad and workpiece during handling, improving durability and reliability.
• Vacuum Inlet: Supports one-touch fitting and barb fitting compatible with Ø2 tubing, facilitating quick and secure connection in pneumatic systems.
• Pad Material Compatibility: Typically available in materials such as NBR, FKM, or silicone rubber to suit various application environments and chemical compatibilities.

With a vertically oriented vacuum inlet and buffer stroke options up to 20 mm, this vacuum pad is engineered to maintain a strong, stable grip while reducing wear and improving cycle life. The grooved flat pad enhances gripping on flat workpieces while preventing sticking, enabling efficient pick-and-place operations in automated assembly, semiconductor, packaging, and general manufacturing industries.

The ZP3-T16UMNJ10-06 pad’s compactness and flexibility in piping connection (one-touch or barb fitting) make it ideal for integration in space-constrained environments, improving overall machine design efficiency.

Key Technical Highlights:

This vacuum pad complies with RoHS standards and is supported by comprehensive CAD data for streamlined system integration, making it an ideal component for automated vacuum gripping systems demanding high precision, reduced footprint, and durable operation.
