SMC ZPT06UNK10-B3-A8 ZP Series Vacuum Pad – Flat Type with Buffer

The SMC ZPT06UNK10-B3-A8 is a high-performance vacuum pad from the ZP Series designed for reliable, efficient material handling in various industrial automation and manufacturing processes. This model features a flat-type pad integrated with a buffer system, enhancing its capability to absorb impact and reduce shock during operation, thus protecting delicate workpieces and ensuring stable vacuum gripping.

Technical Details

• Pad Form: Flat type with buffer
• Buffer Stroke Options: 6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, or 50 mm – providing flexible cushioning based on application needs
• Sizes Available: Multiple sizes available in the ZP Series, accommodating diameters from 2 mm up to 125 mm
• Mounting Thread: Male thread (model-specific)
• Vacuum Inlet Direction: Vertical
• Vacuum Inlet Types: Male thread, female thread, one-touch fitting, or barb fitting (varies by configuration)
• Pad Material Compliance: Pad materials comply with JIS nominal standards to ensure durability and chemical resistance
• Application Configurability: The mounting bracket and pad form can be selected according to specific operational requirements

These features enable this vacuum pad to perform precision handling on flat or slightly uneven surfaces, with the added buffer to minimize damage and improve cycle life under repetitive gripping and release cycles.

Application Examples

• Pick-and-place automation for electronics assembly, where delicate components require stable, cushioned handling
• Packaging lines handling flat-packed products or cartons with varying fragility levels
