16mm Single Bellows FDA Compliant White Silicone Vacuum Suction Cup

The B1.5-16ST is a 16mm single-bellows suction cup for small-part vacuum handling. The bellows provides limited height compensation and compliance for parts that are slightly uneven, concave or convex.

This model is superseded by VFB15-2ST. The lifting values below are theoretical calculations at 24"Hg / approximately 80% vacuum.

Estimated Lifting Force at 24"Hg

Theoretical lifting force is calculated from suction area and effective pressure. Actual working load must be reduced by the appropriate engineering safety factor.

Important: Theoretical lifting force is not a safe working load. Actual capacity depends on vacuum level, seal quality, surface porosity, acceleration, orientation and application conditions.

Typical Applications

  • Small package pick-and-place
  • Plastic plate and carton handling
  • Concave and convex parts
  • Applications needing limited height compensation
  • General automated vacuum handling

Silicone Material Guidance

White silicone is suitable for many food-related and clean handling environments where the material is appropriate. Silicone should not be used on products that will later be painted, or on decorative glass or stone where silicone transfer may be undesirable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can this 16mm cup lift at 24"Hg?

The theoretical calculated lifting force is approximately 1.6kg / 3.7lb before applying a safety factor.

Why use a single bellows cup?

The bellows adds compliance and limited height compensation, helping the cup adapt to small variations in part position or surface geometry.

Is this model still current?

No. The source product data lists VFB15-2ST as the superseding suction cup.

Do I need a safety factor?

Yes. The calculated force is theoretical and must be reduced using a safety factor appropriate to load orientation, acceleration, surface condition and risk.
