SMC Vacuum Products

SMC vacuum products offer a wide range of options for vacuum applications, including vacuum generators, suction cups, vacuum sensor switches, and vacuum regulators.

Our suction cups are modular and can be custom configured with a variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and mounting adapters to fit your specific application. We offer non-marking types, FDA compliant options, and various cup shapes including flat, thin flat, bellows, deep, oval, and oval flat. Our suction cups can also be equipped with ball-joint connections and buffers to ensure a perfect fit.

Our vacuum generators, also known as ejectors, come in single unit, manifold, inline, and generator/cup in one variations. These compact and lightweight units are available in a wide range of sizes and performance ranges, and are ideal for use in end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) on robotic arms or end effectors. They are capable of generating suction gripping force at the point of use while minimizing inertia, and can attain vacuum levels as low as -27 inHG (-93 kPA) with multi-stage generators and suction flow greater than 7 SCFM (200 L/min).

In addition to vacuum generators and suction cups, we also offer vacuum filters to protect your vacuum equipment from contaminants, vacuum sensors to monitor vacuum pressure, and vacuum regulators to control and stabilize the level of vacuum. We also have a collaborative robot vacuum unit that is a plug and play integration kit compatible with several collaborative robots, with compact and lightweight design and various cup configuration options.

Variety of product types
Range of static control products, including bar ionizers, nozzle ionizers, fan ionizers, static sensors, and a desktop duster box.
Customization options
Various lengths to meet the specific needs of your work area, and our nozzle ionizers are available in compact sizes for confined treatment areas.
Easy installation
