SMC ZP3-T16UMSJ6-04 Vacuum Pad | ZP3 Series Compact Flat Type with Groove and Buffer

The SMC ZP3-T16UMSJ6-04 vacuum pad is engineered for precision and space efficiency in automated material handling and industrial suction applications. It features a compact flat type pad with groove design, optimizing grip stability on flat surfaces while facilitating easy release of workpieces by reducing surface adhesion through micro-grooves.

• Pad Diameter: 16 mm—ideal for small to medium-size parts requiring stable, low-deformation suction.
• Buffer Integration: Equipped with a built-in buffer to absorb impact and protect the vacuum system and workpieces, enhancing durability and system longevity.
• Compact Form Factor: The overall vacuum pad length is significantly shortened compared to conventional ZP series models, allowing for installation in constrained spaces and contributing to compact machinery design.
• Vacuum Inlet Features: Designed for vertical vacuum inlet connection compatible with one-touch and barb fittings suitable for Ø2mm tubing, enabling quick, secure, and leak-free pneumatic connections to streamline assembly and maintenance.
• Pad Material Compatibility: Typically constructed with durable materials such as NBR (nitrile rubber), providing reliable suction performance and chemical resistance suitable for varied industrial environments.
• Application Range: Particularly effective for automated pick-and-place systems, assembly lines, and robotic grippers where compact size, reliable grip, and impact buffering are crucial.

This vacuum pad integrates advanced design elements such as groove texturing to prevent workpiece sticking and a buffer system to mitigate mechanical shocks, reflecting SMC’s commitment to precision engineering for modern manufacturing automation. The ZP3 series addresses the need for space-saving vacuum equipment without compromising gripping force or durability, making the ZP3-T16UMSJ6-04 an ideal choice for high-performance vacuum handling applications.
