Storage and Cleaning of Suction Cups
Schmalz - The Company Observe the following information regarding storage and cleaning for the sensitive elastomer part of the suction cup:

Store suction cups in a cool place (between 0°C and 15°C, max. 25°C) that is dark, dry, low in dust and offers protection from the
weather, ozone and drafts, as well as stress. The effects of ozone, light (especially UV), heat, oxygen, humidity, as well as mechanical
influences, can reduce the service life of the suction cup.
Vacuum Knowledge Clean suction cups with soap and warm water, and dry them at room temperature.

Technical Data of Suction Cups
Vacuum Suction Cups Certain calculations are required for the selection of individual components when designing a vacuum system. The specified values

are based on a vacuum level of -0.6 bar as well as a dry or lubricated workpiece surface. They are given without a safety factor.
Depending on the operating conditions, one should keep in mind reductions that may occur due to friction or if a vacuum level is not
reached (e.g. due to porous workpieces).
Special Grippers The most important technical data of the suction cups are explained below.
