How do pneumatic suction cups work?
When a suction cup contacts an object, a vacuum generator draws the air out from the space between the cup and the item. This presses the suction cup against the item, holding it firmly.
What is holding force?
Holding force is the amount of force required to move an object. It's measured in Newtons. Make sure you choose a suction cup with the holding force you need to move your object.
