Non-marking (or, more correctly, only slightly marking): which suction-pad material should be used to meet this requirement?
- Non-marking:
A prerequisite for this is an absolutely clean working environment!
Silicone rubber (SI)
If this material is not permitted (for example, for freshly painted surfaces in the automotive industry), then Fluorkautschuk FPM.
- Slightly marking:
Vulkollan (VU1) or nitrile rubber (NBR)

Oily surfaces: which suction pad is suitable?
- Pads made of the material Vulkollan (VU1) or nitrile rubber (NBR)
- Our series SAF, SAB, SAOF and SAOB suction pads are widely used for handling sheet metal.

Higher temperatures: which suction pads are suitable?
Suction pads made of silicone rubber (SI).

Foodstuffs: which suction pads are suitable for foodstuffs?
Suction pads made of silicone rubber (SI)

Rough surfaces: which suction pads can be used?
- Slightly rough surfaces, such as wood veneers, sand-blasted surfaces:
bellows-type suction pads – particularly those made of silicone rubber (SI) and natural rubber (NK). Suction plates of the SPU series are also suitable.
- Very rough surfaces, such as checker plate or stud plate:
SPK.

Separating sagging metal sheets: which suction pads can be used?
Suction pads of the SPU series with peeling insert (AE).

Low wear: which suction-pads are very hard-wearing?
Suction pads made of Vulkollan (VU1)

How can one deactivate suction pads which are not in contact with the workpiece?
By using so-called check valves.
