Can the SMC ZNC gripper handle delicate materials without marking them?

Yes, the SMC ZNC uses Bernoulli principle non-contact handling to lift delicate items without marking or deformation. It safely handles thin sheets, films, PCBs, and porous materials.

What is the gripping force of the SMC ZNC Vacuum Gripper?

The SMC ZNC delivers 10.7 N of gripping force, suitable for precise pick-and-place applications on lightweight materials.

How much does the SMC ZNC gripper weigh?

It weighs just 0.027 kg, making it compatible with robots that have tight payload limits.

What compressed air do I need to operate a Bernoulli vacuum gripper?

The SMC ZNC integrates with standard pneumatic systems using clean compressed air, requiring no special air preparation beyond normal industrial standards.

What temperature can this vacuum gripper operate in?

The SMC ZNC operates reliably up to 80°C ambient temperature, suitable for most manufacturing environments.

What are vacuum grippers used for?

Vacuum grippers like the SMC ZNC are used for non-contact pick-and-place and material handling in applications such as electronics manufacturing, packaging, and laboratory automation where delicate handling is required.

Bernoulli vacuum gripper versus mechanical contact grippers:

The SMC ZNC uses the Bernoulli principle to lift delicate items without physical contact, unlike traditional mechanical or suction-cup grippers that grip by contact or adhesion. Choose this when surface marking, deformation, or contamination cannot be tolerated.

For thin sheets, films, and PCBs that would crease or scratch under mechanical jaws, the non-contact lift preserves part geometry and finish.
On robots with payload limits under 500 g, the 0.027 kg weight leaves maximum capacity for part handling versus heavier parallel grippers.
In electronics and precision assembly, the Bernoulli design eliminates contact marks on sensitive surfaces while delivering 10.7 N of stable gripping force.
On high-speed pick-and-place lines handling porous or delicate materials, pneumatic operation via standard compressed air avoids the cost and complexity of vacuum pumps.
