Specific Product Precautions
Precautions on Design
Warning
1. In cases where the work
pieces are heavy or dan-
gerous objects, etc., take
measures to address a
possible loss of adsorption
force (installation of drop
prevention guides, etc.).
In the case of transportation by vacuum
adsorption using vacuum pads, adsorp-
tion force is lost when there is a drop in
vacuum pressure.
Furthermore, since vacuum pressure
can also deteriorate due to wear and
cracking of pads, and vacuum leakage
from piping, etc., be certain to perform
maintenance on vacuum equipment.
Selection
Caution
1. The pad materials which
can be used differ depend-
ing upon the operating
environment.
An appropriate pad material should be
selected.
Furthermore, since vacuum pads are
manufactured for use with industrial
products, they should not come into
direct contact with medicines or food
products, etc.
2. Depending upon the weight
and shape of the work
pieces, the diameter, quanti-
ty and shape of pads suit-
able for use will vary.
Use the pad lifting force table for refer-
ence.
Also, the pads to be selected will differ
based upon conditions other than the
above, such as the condition of the work
piece surface (presence or absence of
oil or water), the work piece material and
its gas permeability. Confirmation is nec-
essary by actually performing vacuum
adsorption on the subject work pieces.
3. Use a buffer for adsorption
on fragile work pieces.
The cushioning performed by the buffer
is also necessary when there is variation
in the height of work pieces. When it is
desired to perform further positioning of
pads and work pieces, a detent buffer
can be used.

Pad Selection
The pad diameter is found by means of a pad lift calculation. The calculated value should be used for reference and confirmed by actual
adsorption tests when necessary. In the lift calculation, consideration should be given to the weight of the work piece, forces due to
acceleration during movement (lifting, stopping, turning, etc.) and a sufficient extra margin should be allowed. A margin should also be
allowed when determining the number and arrangement of pads.
Finding the Theoretical Lifting Force
The theoretical lifting force of a pad can be found by calculation or from the theoretical lifting force table.

Caution
1. In cases such as those in which a flat item having a large surface area
is carried by multiple pads, balance must be considered when
determining the pad arrangement.
Additionally, supplementary devices (for example, drop prevention
guides) should be installed as necessary to prevent dropping of work
pieces.

: Conditions/Number of pads ; 5pcs. 9.8N ÷ 5pcs. = 2N, and for horizontal lifting, selection is
Vacuum pressure –60kPa (–450mmHg) made from graph 1. Then, extending the intersection

Therefore, a pad diameter of 13mm or greater should be
selected.
