Vacuum pumps provide vacuum for lifting, moving and holding products. Within vacuum technology, they are combined with suction cups and supporting components.
What are vacuum pumps?A vacuum pump provides the vacuum function that enables a system to handle products. The pump operates with the suction cups and other components required for the application.
Applications and industriesVacuum pumps are used when products need to be lifted, moved or held, for example as part of an automated production operation. No specific industries are identified.
How to select vacuum pumpsFirst define whether the product must be lifted, moved or held. Then establish the system arrangement and required suction cups, and determine whether a pump, generator or supporting vacuum component is needed. Capacities, connection sizes and performance classes are not stated.
Key attributesKey category attributes are the vacuum function, system arrangement and integration with suction cups, generators and supporting vacuum components.
Frequently asked questions
What are vacuum pumps used for?Vacuum pumps provide the vacuum function for lifting, moving or holding products. They operate as part of a vacuum system with the required suction cups and supporting components.
What role do vacuum pumps have in a vacuum system?The vacuum pump provides the vacuum function, while suction cups contact the product. The exact system arrangement depends on the handling operation and the supporting vacuum components it requires.
Which technical data is missing for vacuum-pump selection?Capacities, connection sizes, performance classes, pump types and materials are not stated. These details therefore need to be established for the specific product before a vacuum pump can be selected technically.
