40mm Red Silicone Bag Gripper Cup SBLP40S
Vacuforce SBLP40S is a 40mm red-silicone multi-bellows vacuum cup designed for thin film, bags and flexible packaging.
The compliant bellows profile helps follow flexible packaging surfaces without the rigid traction geometry used on steel stampings. Test vacuum flow, film deformation and clean release on the actual pack.

Application Guidance
The compliant bellows profile helps follow flexible packaging surfaces without the rigid traction geometry used on steel stampings. Test vacuum flow, film deformation and clean release on the actual pack. The lifting-force figures shown are theoretical; choose the working load using the correct design factor and production trials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 40mm SBLP multi-bellows cup handle?+
This flexible red-silicone cup is intended for thin plastic film, bags and food packaging materials that deform under vacuum. Its multiple bellows help follow a changing pack surface.
Is SBLP a suitable choice for oily steel stampings?+
This is primarily a soft-packaging cup, not a heavy-duty steel-stamping traction cup. For press-formed steel, compare SBF, SFF, STC, SOB and SOF by surface geometry and operating load.
What material is the SBLP cup?+
The SBLP cup is red silicone. Vacuforce identifies its standard red silicone as FDA-compliant; validate complete application requirements and the particular food-contact conditions.
How do I select the SBLP mounting fitting?+
Match the cup size to the specified series fitting: SBLP30S uses SBLP-G02 (G1/4), SBLP40S uses SBLP-G03 (G3/8), and SBLP50S uses SBLP-G04 (G1/2).
Why does the vacuum source matter with flexible film?+
Thin packaging can deform, wrinkle or obstruct a port. Test the available vacuum flow, cup contact and release timing on the actual product to avoid damaged packages.
How do I validate bag-handling performance?+
Check film thickness, weight, contents movement, pack temperature, cycles per minute and vacuum release. Test at the intended acceleration and check for distortion or dropped packs.
