Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered interface component that connects the vacuum/suction line to the primer pick-up head in automated assembly machinery, enabling controlled suction for handling small components like primers in ammunition manufacturing or similar applications. It ensures reliable vacuum transmission while maintaining seal integrity under cyclic operational conditions.

Working Principle

Operates by creating a pressure differential through connection to a vacuum source, allowing the pick-up head to generate suction force for component handling. The port maintains airtight sealing through precision machining and gasket interfaces to prevent vacuum loss during operation.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloy (6061-T6), or engineered polymers (PEEK, PTFE) depending on application requirements; includes nitrile or silicone sealing elements

Leak Rate < 0.1 mbar·L/s
Port Size 1/4" to 1/2" NPT or ISO 228-G
Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm
Connection Type Threaded, quick-disconnect, or flange mount
Temperature Range -20°C to 120°C
Operating Pressure -0.8 to -0.95 bar

Standards

ISO 1179, ISO 228, DIN 3852, DIN 2999
