De-sta-co CPI-40FF-B-60 Flat Vacuum Pad 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO CPI-40FF-B-60 is a flat, vertical vacuum pad designed for use in pneumatic gripping and workholding applications. Constructed from nitrile, this pad provides reliable suction across smooth and semi-smooth workpiece surfaces. The 3/8 NPT female port allows direct connection to standard vacuum lines and fittings without adapters. It mounts vertically, making it well suited for pick-and-place systems, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and fixture-mounted vacuum circuits. Installation and replacement are straightforward, and the nitrile material offers good resistance to oils and moderate temperature variation common in industrial environments.

This vacuum pad is intended for industrial automation and material handling setups where a flat contact surface is required. Typical applications include sheet handling, panel lifting, and part transfer on assembly lines or robotic cells. The vertical orientation suits installations where the vacuum source feeds from directly above or below the pad. It is commonly installed by automation technicians, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance personnel working on pneumatic tooling systems.

Key Features

• Flat pad profile for consistent contact on smooth and lightly textured surfaces
• Vertical mounting orientation integrates directly into standard vacuum tooling assemblies
• 3/8 NPT female port for direct connection to vacuum lines without additional adapters
• Nitrile construction provides oil resistance and durability in industrial environments
• Compact design suitable for multi-pad vacuum fixture arrays

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial pneumatic vacuum tooling systems using 3/8 NPT female port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automation or pneumatic system technicians. Depressurize and isolate the vacuum circuit fully before removing or installing the pad. Use appropriate thread sealant on NPT connections and avoid overtightening, which can damage the port threads or distort the pad body. Verify the vacuum circuit is leak-free before returning the system to service.
