VFCF50-U01 | Vacuforce Male universal 1/8 suction cup fitting
Vacuforce VFCF50-U01 is a 1/8 male universal-thread suction cup fitting for the 50mm cup family. Its special Vacuforce thread form connects to matching-size flat-faced female NPT, BSPT and BSPP ports, reducing the need for separate thread-specific fitting versions. Confirm the cup-side mounting interface for your tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vacuforce universal-thread feature?+
This 1/8 male universal thread is designed to connect to matching-size flat-faced female NPT, BSPT and BSPP threaded ports. It is a specifically engineered Vacuforce fitting, not a claim that ordinary thread forms are interchangeable.
Does VFCF50-U01 fit all 1/8 female ports?+
It is designed for matching-size flat-faced female NPT, BSPT and BSPP ports. The female port must provide the required flat-faced sealing surface; check the installation condition.
Which suction cups accept VFCF50-U01?+
This fitting is listed for the 50mm cup family; use the compatible cup-family list above and verify the cup mounting bore and assembly dimensions.
Why use one universal-thread fitting rather than separate NPT and BSP fittings?+
One male universal design supports common matching-size female port standards, simplifying machine builds, spares and maintenance across equipment using mixed NPT/BSP ports.
Does the universal thread change the vacuum cup lifting force?+
Thread compatibility determines mounting. The actual holding force depends on the suction cup sealing area, vacuum level, leakage and part motion; check adequate flow through the assembly.
Can this fitting be used with a non-flat-face female port?+
This compatibility claim applies to flat-faced female ports. Do not assume the specified seal will work on an unsuitable port face or damaged sealing surface.
