Introduction
In automation, small details make a big difference.
Choosing the right vacuum pick up cylinder can directly impact speed, stability, and overall system performance.
At Mack Automation, we offer one of the widest size ranges available — from 15 mm to 40 mm pistons — making it easier to find the right fit for your application.
What Are Vacuum Pick Up Cylinders?
A vacuum pick up cylinder combines lifting motion and vacuum suction into one compact unit.
Instead of using multiple components, you get a simple, all-in-one solution that can:
-
- Move up and down
- Pick up parts using suction
- Release them quickly and accurately
That’s why they are widely used in pick-and-place systems, robotics, and automated production lines.
Why Size Range Matters (15 mm – 40 mm)
Choosing the right cylinder size directly affects performance, efficiency, and reliability.
| Small Sizes
(15 mm – 21 mm) |
Medium Sizes
(28 mm – 32 mm) |
Larger Sizes
(40 mm) |
| Perfect for lightweight products and tight spaces.
They are fast, compact, and energy-efficient. |
A great balance between speed and strength.
Ideal for most general automation tasks. |
Designed for heavier parts and more demanding environments.
They provide stronger lifting force and better stability. |
With a full range available, you can select the exact size needed instead of compromising.
How to Choose the Right Vacuum Pick Up Cylinder
When selecting a cylinder, consider:
-
- Load weight
- Required stroke length
- Available installation space
- Vacuum requirements
- Operating speed
Selecting the correct piston size ensures optimal performance and longer service life.
