You can see in the video Vuototecnica flat round Geranium foam rubber suction cups in action on insulated sandwich panels. You will certainly be impressed by their grip: they are able to support the weight of two workers standing on the panels.
The secret of a such grip is in the special foam rubber compound, called Geranium, abbreviation OF, which has a density such as to permit the gripping also on very uneven and rough surfaces. The advantage is that these suction cups retain their own elasticity even after many work cycles.
In addition to insulating panels handling, they are ideal for vacuum gripping on very rough surfaces, such as rough concrete, sawn marbles, textured or non-slip and corrugated sheets, striatum plexiglas and many other materials.
When the load to be handled has oiled and irregular surfaces, it is necessary to employ neoprene foam rubber suction cups, abbreviation NF, able to withstand the corrosive action of oils.
To allow rapid fixing at their supports, all foam rubber suction cups are equipped with a self-adhesive side. To replace them, it will be enough to require only adhesive foam rubber suction cup in your favorite compound, changing nothing.
These suction cups can withstand minimum temperatures of -40 °C (-20°C for NF neoprene foam rubber) and up to +80 °C.
