What is the lifting force of the SMC ZGS 400 x 240 mm vacuum gripper?

The SMC ZGS generates 2144 N lifting force at negative 75 kPa for secure load control. This force is sufficient for handling mixed and irregular goods in palletizing, depalletizing, and packaging applications.

What robots is the SMC ZGS compatible with?

The ZGS011PK-300180BS3-X1C10 model mounts to collaborative robots from Universal Robots, Omron/Techman, FANUC, and Yaskawa via an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange. It supports flexible automation needs across these major robot brands.

How do I install the SMC ZGS vacuum gripper?

The gripper mounts using an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange and requires only one air line and one electrical cable for connection. The fully integrated ejector, valves, silencer, and pressure switch streamline installation and setup.

What temperature can the SMC ZGS gripper operate in?

The SMC ZGS operates reliably up to 50 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. It weighs just 1.8 kg, making it suitable for compact robot mounting in various industrial environments.

Can the SMC ZGS handle irregular shaped items?

Yes, the 400 x 240 mm sponge-type suction surface grips porous and irregularly shaped products, making it ideal for handling mixed or uneven goods. The modular ejector configuration allows you to tailor suction flow and optimize cycle times for different item types.

Vacuum gripper system versus manual or mechanical gripping:

The SMC ZGS is a pneumatic vacuum gripper for fast handling of mixed or irregular goods, contrasted with manual picking, fixed mechanical clamps, or single-cup vacuum systems that cannot adapt to varying product shapes.

For pallets of mixed carton sizes and weights, the 400 x 240 mm sponge surface grips uneven stacks without product-specific tooling changes.
On high-throughput packaging lines with soft or crushable items, the modular ejector adjusts suction flow to prevent damage while cutting cycle time.
In tight collaborative cells, the 1.8 kg weight and fully integrated ejector, valves, and silencer mean one air line and one cable instead of external vacuum plumbing.
For food, logistics, or automotive where ambient heat rises toward 50°C, the rated operating range keeps grip force stable at 2144 N without performance loss.
On robots from Universal Robots, FANUC, Yaskawa, or Techman, the ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange simplifies swap-in and multi-arm deployment.
