VICAS Vacuum Cup
A. Finding a suitable replacement to an already existing Vacuum Cup Step 1: Match your existing vacuum cup to one of the styles shown on pages 6 and 7. Step 2: Turn to that page and match the lip diameter of your cup using the “A” column. Now select the part which closest represents the existing cup by comparing the rest of the dimensions. Example: If you have a cup which matches Figure 1-1, then you would turn to style “B”. Next you would locate .53 in the “A” column and match the rest of the dimensions. In this case your final selection would be VC 158C. B. Selecting a Vacuum Cup for a “new” application Step 1: Determine the lip diameter required. (Below is a chart that will allow you to calculate the approximate lifting capacity based on the lip diameter.) Step 2: Select style of vacuum cup preferred (pages 6 & 7). Step 3: Find matching diameter in the “A” column. Step 4: Cross-reference style and “A” dimension to select the proper vacuum cup.
