Component function and compatibility
Four 120 × 320 mm pads are described for narrow workpieces. Check the actual pad positions and available face rather than assuming the entire head fits a strip as narrow as one pad.
Selection point | This configuration |
|---|---|
Pad dimensions | 120 × 320 mm |
Number of pads | 4 pcs |
Applications | Narrow workpieces |
Equipment and intended application
A four-pad arrangement for narrow workpieces. The spaced contact points support a different geometry from a single broad head.
Choosing this component
Check that every pad fits wholly within an intact contact area and that the workpiece does not sag excessively between supports.
Application and integration requirements
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Identify the installed unit | Record machine model and serial number, component markings and clear photos of the connection. Compare dimensions, seal profile and fixing geometry. |
Match its function | A suction head, lifting tube, supply hose, valve and filter occupy different positions in the system. Similar-looking parts may have different mechanical or airflow duties. |
Validate the assembly | After replacement, check retention, sealing and functional response. A different head can change suspended mass, load balance and permissible workpiece geometry. |
Installation, inspection and service checks
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Replacement preparation | Support the load, shut down and isolate the relevant energy source before disconnection. |
Installation | Match the approved connection and sealing arrangement; do not force a mismatched flange, thread or hose onto the machine. |
Return to service | Check tightness and controls, then perform the prescribed functional checks. Do not put a repaired component straight into loaded production. |
Troubleshooting priorities
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Unexpected grip, motion or control behaviour | Stop with the workpiece supported. Inspect the affected connection, contact area and power or air supply, then follow the installed equipment instructions before returning to service. |
Replacement does not fit or changes performance | Check the component identity and system configuration. Do not modify interfaces or bypass protective functions to make a substitute fit. |
Frequently asked questions
Can ET-VC-PAD-NAR-4 be fitted to any vacuum lifter?
No. Match ET-VC-PAD-NAR-4 to the machine identification, connection, dimensions, operating conditions and the intended gripping task. A similar appearance or part diameter does not demonstrate compatibility.
Information for component selection
- Identify the installed lifting unit, model and serial number, and include photographs of the existing component and its connections.
- Record the component dimensions, mounting points, connection type, material and any visible markings.
- Describe the handled material and operating conditions, or the fault that led to replacement. A part that fits physically still needs to match the system duty.
Document scope
This product specification supports equipment selection and project definition. It includes the model data and application guidance presented on the product page. The operating instructions supplied for the actual machine govern commissioning, testing, maintenance procedures and safe use; this specification does not replace them.
