Festo Suction Cup Aluminium ESF-4A

Festo ESF Series Suction Cup, 260L/min Input Air Flow, Aluminium - ESF-4A, Numeric Part Number: 191203

This suction cup is a pneumatic handling component designed to create vacuum grip in automated systems. It connects directly to pressurised Air lines via a threaded port and is suited to pick-and-place tasks where controlled Airflow and moderate temperature tolerance are required.

Features and Benefits:

• Metric thread connection enables straightforward integration into fittings Male port design simplifies attachment to supply lines Aluminium construction reduces component weight for moving assemblies High-flow capacity of 260 L/min supports Rapid pick-and-place cycles Rated for continuous use up to 60°C in heated environments RoHS-compliant material selection supports regulatory requirements

Applications

• Suitable for robotic pick-and-place in electronics assembly Ideal for handling light mechanical parts on conveyor systems Used with pneumatic grippers in automated electrical manufacturing Can be used for surface transfer of components in industrial automation

What connection standard does it use for system compatibility?

It employs a metric-threaded port with a male fitting type for direct connection to metric pneumatic tubing and adapters.

How does material choice affect system performance?

The aluminium body offers a favourable strength-to-weight ratio, reducing inertia during Rapid cycles and limiting added load on actuators.

What airflow should be expected during operation?

The device is specified to pass 260 L/min of intake air, enabling swift evacuation of the cup for fast cycle rates.

What temperature limitations apply during continuous service?

The component is designed for operation at temperatures up to 60°C without degradation of specified function.
