VFDB40S identifies a Vacuforce 40mm double bellows cup. The material designation -S refers to red FDA-compliant silicone. The -S material is red FDA-compliant silicone for suitable food and packaging handling applications. Verify complete system suitability for the intended contact process.

This model is supplied in red.

Typical uses include Food packaging and related automated handling, Handling of suitable consumer goods and formed parts. Confirm surface sealing, process conditions, cycle rate and handling orientation by testing.

The listed cup diameter is 40mm (1.575in). Match the fitting to the Vacuforce cup series and mounting bore; a shared nominal size is not proof of mounting compatibility.

At the page calculation condition of approximately 24inHg (80% vacuum), the existing estimate is 10.1kg / 22.9lb before any safety factor. This assumes ideal sealing and must not be treated as a certified working load.

No. Compare actual lip diameter, bellows geometry, mounting interface, material and working conditions before selecting a fit-form-function alternative. Confirm performance by application testing.

Vacuforce identifies this silicone grade as FDA-compliant. Confirm the correct formulation, cleaning requirements and any additional end-user or local food-contact requirements for the complete installation.

Yes. Use an appropriate engineering safety factor; Vacuforce normally recommends at least 8:1 for vertical lifting. Account for leakage, part acceleration, load orientation and surface condition, and validate safe working load in the application.
