Will the SMC ZXPE5 work with my UR cobot without an air compressor?

The SMC ZXPE5 generates vacuum internally with an integrated pump, so it operates without any external compressed air supply or compressor. This eliminates the need for pneumatic infrastructure and reduces installation complexity.

What's the maximum gripping force of the SMC ZXPE5 electric vacuum gripper?

The SMC ZXPE5 delivers up to 65 N of gripping force, making it suitable for secure handling of small to medium parts in pick-and-place and packaging applications.

How much does the SMC ZXPE5 weigh and will it overload my robot's flange?

The gripper weighs just 0.556 kg with all components integrated into one compact unit, so it adds minimal load to your collaborative robot's wrist. It mounts directly to an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange with two clamp screws for tool-change readiness.

What UR robot models is the SMC ZXPE5 compatible with?

The SMC ZXPE5 is compatible with the UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, and UR16e collaborative robots. It connects via an M8 connector for straightforward installation.

Can the SMC ZXPE5 detect if a part has been picked up?

The gripper includes a built-in pressure sensor that detects parts instantly and provides real-time feedback through a 360-degree status indicator for process monitoring and diagnostics.

What suction cup sizes work with the SMC ZXPE5?

The SMC ZXPE5 supports suction cups from 8 mm to 32 mm in diameter, with material options including NBR, silicone, FKM, and urethane to handle flexible or irregular surfaces.

Electric vacuum versus pneumatic air-driven grippers:

The SMC ZXPE5 is an electric vacuum gripper built into one compact unit, eliminating the need for external air compressors or vacuum generators. Choose it over pneumatic alternatives when you want simpler setup, lower maintenance, and minimal footprint on your UR cobot.

No external compressor required. The integrated pump and valve eliminate air-line infrastructure, reducing installation time and workspace clutter.
Lightweight at 0.556 kg with minimal flange load, freeing payload capacity on compact collaborative robots like the UR3e and UR5e.
For pick-and-place on delicate or irregular surfaces, the built-in pressure sensor detects part contact instantly and the three power modes reduce energy waste during hold phases.
Holds up to 65 N grip force. Suitable for small-parts packaging, labeling, and palletizing where consistent, quiet operation matters in shared work cells.
Tool-change ready with ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange. Swap grippers in seconds without reconfiguring air lines or vacuum plumbing.
