Schmalz has developed the FSGPL round, bellows suction pad with 1.5 folds for handling of cardboard, sheet metal, wood, glass and ceramics.

The suction pad is also able to handle work pieces with uneven surfaces due to its smooth sealing lip.

Large diameter, from 150 mm to 250 mm, for use with large, heavy but also sensitive work pieces
Very soft, tapered sealing lip enables handling of curved work piece surfaces
1.5 folds for high suction force and damping effect during placement on work piece
Elastomer supports on the bottom, resulting in no permanent deformation or breakage of easily damaged work pieces
Vulcanised mounting plate available
