Bellow suction cups: 1.5 to 3.5 folds make a difference
Bellow suction cups are a type of suction cup that has a flexible, accordion-like structure that allows it to adjust to the shape of the object being lifted. These vacuum pads are commonly used in industrial applications where objects with uneven surfaces or complex geometries need to be lifted and moved. The importance of bellow suction cups lies in their ability to provide a secure and stable grip on the object being lifted, even when the object has irregular surfaces or curves.
Key advantages of bellow suction cups in vacuum lifting
One of the primary advantages of bellow suction cups is their ability to conform to the shape of the object being lifted. The flexible structure of the suction cup allows it to adjust to the contours of the object, providing a larger contact area and a more secure grip. This is particularly important for objects with curved surfaces, such as automobile windshields or irregularly shaped products like food packaging.
Bellow suction cups are also designed to distribute the lifting force evenly across the entire contact area, reducing the risk of damage to the object being lifted. This is important for delicate or fragile objects, such as glass or ceramic items. The even distribution of force helps to prevent cracking, chipping, or other types of damage that could occur with a more traditional suction cup design.
Another advantage of bellow suction pads is their ability to maintain a seal even when the object being lifted has surface imperfections or irregularities. The flexible bellow design can conform to small variations in the surface of the object, creating a tight seal that prevents air from entering the vacuum chamber. This is critical for maintaining the suction force needed to lift and move the object.
Variants of bellow vacuum pads
In automation processes, distribution and logistics industries demand high pick rates. euroTECH’s solution for this is a variety of round bellow suction cups series. These are adaptable to different types, forms and contours of the packaging goods to be gripped.



To achieve a high speed and efficiency for sorting and pick and placing tasks, speed is of the essence. Common workpieces in the packaging industries are boxes, paper goods and shipping bags as well as plastic bags. Bellow suction cups adapt to all forms of contour and holds tightly and firmly on various packaging materials. To achieve this even in a high acceleration environment, our engineers has developed a variety variants of bellow suction cups with 1.5 folds to 3.5 folds with an increased stroke. A selection of holding forces are available with different diameter to choose.


All of the vacuum solution can be integrated rapidly. Most of the connection are made in modular form which could be easily expanded with the desired working environment. When air-tight is critical in the handling application, our Series BSC SCP types comes with a electric foam helps for heavily structured surfaces.
Bellow vacuum pads in wood industry
Bellow vacuum pads are a popular choice in the wood industry for material handling due to their ability to adjust to the contours of uneven surfaces, providing a more secure grip. The accordion-like structure of bellow vacuum pads also helps distribute lifting force evenly, reducing the risk of damage to the wood. Additionally, these vacuum pads can maintain a seal even when the wood has surface imperfections or irregularities. Overall, bellow vacuum pads are a valuable tool for the wood industry, providing a safe and efficient solution for lifting and transporting wood materials.
EUROTECH bellow vacuum pads provider
Bellow suction pads with a flexible, accordion-like structure are a vital technology in industries where objects with complicated shapes or uneven surfaces need to be lifted and relocated. These suction cups can adapt to the object’s contours, which gives them a bigger surface area to grip and hold onto more securely. By distributing the lifting force evenly across the surface area, bellow suction cups lessen the chances of damaging the object being lifted, and can still hold tight even if the object has surface irregularities. Because of these benefits, bellow suction cups are an essential part of many vacuum lifting systems.
Vacuum pads are a valuable tool in material handling and transportation, providing a safe and efficient solution. They create a secure seal with the object being lifted when vacuum pressure is applied, and the size and level of vacuum must be considered for a consistent grip. Contact us for more information.
