Festo VAS-100-1/4-PUR-B is a complete vacuum suction cup designed for reliable handling of flat workpieces in pneumatic vacuum applications. This round, flat suction cup features a 100 mm cup diameter, an effective suction diameter of 90.5 mm, and a 3.5 mm height compensation to help accommodate minor surface variation during pickup. Manufactured from PUR with a Shore hardness of 60 +/- 5, it combines a durable suction element with a die-cast zinc screwed plug and a top-positioned G1/4 vacuum connection for straightforward integration. With a suction cup volume of 33.5 cm3 and a holding force of 450 N at nominal operating pressure, the VAS-100-1/4-PUR-B is well suited to consistent material handling duties where dependable vacuum grip is required.

What is this component used for?
This is a complete vacuum suction cup used for handling and gripping workpieces in vacuum-based pick-and-place and material handling applications. It is suited to tasks where a round, flat suction interface is needed to pick up items by vacuum.
What type of suction cup is it?
It is a round, flat vacuum suction cup complete assembly. The Festo VAS-100-1/4-PUR-B combines the suction cup with its vacuum connection, making it suitable for integration into vacuum handling setups.
What material is the suction cup made from?
The suction cup is made from PUR, and it has a Shore hardness of 60 +/-5. This helps define the cup's flexibility and contact behavior on the workpiece surface.
What size is the suction cup?
The suction cup diameter is 100 mm, with an effective suction diameter of 90.5 mm. The stated suction cup volume is 33.5 cm3.
What vacuum connection does it use?
This unit uses a G1/4 vacuum connection with the connection positioned on the top. It is mounted via the vacuum connection.
What is the rated holding force?
The rated holding force is 450 N at the nominal operating pressure of -0.07 MPa, which is equivalent to -0.7 bar. In real applications, the actual holding result can vary depending on the surface condition, sealing quality, and orientation of the load.
What operating pressure is specified?
The nominal operating pressure is -0.07 MPa (-0.7 bar), and the maximum stated operating pressure is -0.095 MPa (-0.95 bar). This indicates the vacuum range the cup is designed to work with.
Does it offer any height compensation?
Yes. The suction cup includes 3.5 mm of height compensation, which can help accommodate minor variations in the workpiece position or surface level during gripping.
Can it be installed in any orientation?
Yes. The mounting position is listed as any, which gives flexibility when integrating it into different machine layouts or vacuum handling assemblies.
What kind of surfaces is it best suited to?
Because it is a round, flat suction cup, it is generally best suited to relatively flat and smooth workpiece surfaces where a reliable vacuum seal can be formed. Surface texture, porosity, and part geometry will influence performance.
What operating medium is specified?
The specified operating medium is atmospheric air based on ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:-:-]. This means it is intended for use in vacuum applications that rely on filtered compressed-air-based vacuum generation or equivalent vacuum handling arrangements using atmospheric air.
Are there any material or environmental compliance details available?
Yes. The unit is listed as RoHS-compliant. It also has LABS conformity to VDMA 24364-A1-L and a corrosion resistance class of CRC 2, which indicates moderate corrosion stress.
What color and weight is the unit?
The suction cup is blue and has a product weight of 140 g.
