Mounting Elements
Schmalz offers a broad product range of mounting elements to integrate grippers (suction cups or special grippers) into gripping systems.
The following mounting elements can basically be distinguished:
- Spring plunger
- Sections, crossbeams and connectors
- Jointed mountings
- Holders and adapters
Vacuum End Effectors

The Schmalz modular system for vacuum end effectors (VEE) allows fast, flexible configuration of end effectors for different processes. A wide selection of combinations of vacuum feed and zones, connection elements and suction cup connections is available to create the matching end effector.
Vacuum end effectors can be combined with many suction cups from the Schmalz product range (See “Vacuum Suction Cups”)

(8) Screw cover (optional)
(9) Vacuum suction cups (can be selected from the Schmalz product range)
(10) Connection tubes
(11) Plugs for partitioning into different vacuum zones
(12) Plugs
(13) Solenoid valve for active blow off
(14) Vacuum modules flange modules with integrated vacuum generation
Sections, Crossbeams And Connectors
These elements are used to build the basic structure of a vacuum gripping system. To reduce the number of hoses, you can build the sections as vacuum distributors with end covers and sealing frames.
Holders And Adapters
The suction cups are attached to the basic structure or the traverse with holders and adapters. Different types of aluminum sections or square and round tubes are available.
Spring Plungers
Spring plungers are used to compensate height differences of workpieces. They also cushion the impact of the suction cup and allow handling of fragile workpieces.
Jointed Mountings
Jointed mountings provide a better adaption of the suction cup to the workpiece due to the design of Flexolink FLK and ball joint KGL that can be swiveled in all directions.
Suction Cups
(See „Vacuum Suction Cups“ or „Special Grippers“ below)
Our selection aid includes information that should be observed when selecting the right mounting element.
Products
Vacuum Suction Cups
Vacuum suction cups are the link between the workpiece and the handling system. They consist of the suction cup (elastomer part) and a connecting element.
Special Grippers
Special grippers are used in applications in which regular suction cups cannot be used.
