De-sta-co CPI-20TC-B-60 Vacuum Pad Bellows Npt

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO CPI-20TC-B-60 is a bellows-style vertical vacuum pad designed for use in pneumatic gripping and pick-and-place applications. The pad features a 3/8 inch NPT female port for direct connection to vacuum lines and fittings. Constructed with a nitrile sealing surface, it is suited for handling smooth, flat, or lightly contoured workpieces in automated and manual material-handling setups. The bellows design provides axial compliance, allowing the pad to conform to minor surface variations and maintain a reliable vacuum seal. This component is typically installed by automation technicians, maintenance technicians, and industrial service professionals.

This vacuum pad is used in vertical orientation within pneumatic vacuum circuits on production lines, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and fixture-based handling systems. It is well suited for light industrial environments where a compliant, low-profile suction pad is needed to pick and transfer parts reliably. The nitrile cup material performs across a range of dry and lightly oiled surface conditions commonly encountered in manufacturing and assembly operations.

Key Features

• Bellows construction provides axial compliance for conforming to uneven or slightly curved surfaces
• 3/8 inch NPT female port for straightforward connection to standard vacuum fittings
• Nitrile cup material offers durability on a variety of dry and lightly oiled workpiece surfaces
• Vertical mounting orientation for direct integration into pick-and-place tooling
• Compact form factor suited for high-density end-of-arm tooling layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for pneumatic vacuum handling systems using standard 3/8 inch NPT female port connections in vertical vacuum pad applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automation or maintenance technicians. Isolate and depressurize the vacuum circuit completely before removing or installing the pad. Ensure the NPT threads are clean and use appropriate thread sealant rated for vacuum service. Verify the pad orientation and sealing surface contact before returning the system to operation.
