Install these spring plungers with a screwdriver—they're slotted on one or both ends. The ball nose rolls to minimize wear and allow parts to move in and out of position.

Steel is strong and wear resistant.

440C stainless steel is hard, wear resistant, and mildly chemical resistant.

18-8 stainless steel is chemical resistant.

Plastic is chemical resistant and lightweight; nylon noses are extra soft to minimize marring soft surfaces such as aluminum.

Spring plungers without thread locker are for use in soft material such as aluminum, in extreme temperatures, and on parts requiring frequent assembly and removal.

Spring plungers with thread locker have a locking element that adds friction to resist loosening.

Extended nose force is the force required to begin to depress the nose. Compressed nose force is the force required to depress the nose flush with the body. When using a plunger as a detent or stop, a lighter nose force with a shallower hole releases more easily, while a heavier force with a deeper hole holds more securely.

Install from the nose end without depressing the nose using a driver (sold separately). With a nose that is longer than a ball-nose, these provide a large bearing surface to handle side loads.

Steel is strong and wear resistant. Black-oxide steel bodies resist corrosion in dry environments.

18-8 stainless steel is chemical resistant.

Plastic is chemical resistant and lightweight; acetal noses are extra soft to minimize marring soft surfaces such as aluminum.

Install with a hex key for more torque than slotted long-nose spring plungers. These spring plungers have a nose that is longer than ball-nose spring plungers to provide a large bearing surface and handle side loads.

Use cups with a vacuum system to grip, lift, and move flat materials, such as sheet metal and plastic.

Buna-N rubber cups are abrasion resistant and have better oil resistance than vinyl cups.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

The bellows on these cups handle items with varied heights and angles better than flat cups. Use them with a vacuum system to grip, lift, and move items.

Cups with multiple bellows compress more than cups with single bellows to better lift objects with differing heights and orientations.

Polyurethane rubber cups last longer than Buna-N rubber cups.

Cups with a filter prevent material from entering the vacuum system.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Thread these cups onto your vacuum system to lift and move sanitary items with curves, corners, and uneven surfaces. They have bellows that compress as they contact an object for a better hold than flat cups. The more bellows a cup has, the tighter the hold on a variety of shapes. Made of silicone, these cups withstand the extreme temperatures in food processing applications. They're also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Cups with a plastic fitting are much lighter than stainless steel fittings, so they won't weigh down your robot arm. However, they are not as strong or corrosion resistant as stainless steel.

For applications with frequent washdowns, use cups with a stainless steel fitting. They won't corrode from water and harsh cleaning agents. They're stronger than plastic fittings, but they're also heavier.

Metal-detectable cups have a metal additive that sets off metal detectors if they fall into your line. They're bright blue, so they're easy to find and remove. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility. Designed for thorough cleaning, these cups don't have pits, crevices, or tight angles where bacteria can hide.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Attach these cups to threaded connections on your vacuum system to gently lift bags, plastic film, and other sanitary wrappings. They have an ultra-thin, flexible edge that presses against your item, forming a tight seal. The grooved stopper pad inside the cup keeps thin materials from wrinkling, without reducing suction. Made from FDA-compliant silicone, these cups are safe for direct contact with food. They're also bright blue, so they're easy to find and remove if they fall into your line. The aluminum fitting won't corrode from water and humidity.

Add levelers for vacuum cups to lift workpieces with varying heights.
