Festo 30 mm Bellow Nitrile Rubber (NBR) Suction Cup ESS-30-CN M6

This suction cup provides a Compact vacuum gripping solution for automated handling and pick-and-place tasks in industrial settings. It is constructed with a flexible bellows pad to accommodate slight surface irregularities and is designed to connect directly to a vacuum system via a standard threaded port located on the upper face. The component is intended for use where moderate holding capability and chemical‑resistant elastomer contact are required.

• M6 threaded vacuum port enables straightforward system integration
• Nitrile rubber pad resists oils and common industrial fluids
• Bellows profile compensates for misalignment during pick-and-place
• Rated holding force of 20.8N supports lightweight component transfer
• Vacuum entry on TOP simplifies routing in Compact end-of-arm tooling

• Suitable for automated PCB or component handling in electronics assembly
• Ideal for surface-mount pick-and-place operations in manufacturing
• Used for handling small mechanical parts on robotic end effectors
• Can be used with pneumatic vacuum generators in lab automation set-ups

It uses an M6 threaded connection at the vacuum entry, so fitting requires compatible M6 ports or an adaptor to the chosen vacuum line.

The contact element is MADE from nitrile rubber, which offers resistance to many oils and greases commonly encountered in industrial environments.

The bellows-shaped pad provides compliance that helps maintain suction on non-perfectly flat or slightly uneven surfaces.

The component delivers a holding force of 20.8 N, suitable for moving lightweight items where moderate retention is adequate.
