VFC van der Waals force suction cups are inspired by the observation and imitation of the microscopic characteristics of gecko feet. Through special polymer materials and μm-level surface micro-molding processes, the suction cups can generate strong intermolecular forces with the surface of various objects to absorb The strength can reach 0.5kg/cm².
Unbox Industry presents a suction cup by SRT. VFC van der Waals force suction cups are inspired by the observation and imitation of the microscopic characteristics of gecko feet. Through special polymer materials and μm-level surface micro-molding processes, the suction cups can generate strong intermolecular forces with the surface of various objects to absorb The strength can reach 0.5kg/cm². Due to its special adsorption mechanism, no power supply, air supply, or programming is required, it is simple and reliable, and can adsorb porous workpieces even in normal use in a vacuum environment, which greatly expands the application scope of automation equipment.

| Instructions for applicable surface | If the surface is smoother, the effective contact area will be larger at the micro level, the load will be larger, and the preloading force will be smaller, so the payload can be obtained; if the surface is rougher, the effective contact area will be smaller at the micro level, the load will be smaller, and the larger preloading force will be required to obtain the required payload. The rough surface will aggravate the wear of the adsorption structure for the sucker to shorten the service life. | |||
