Pneumatic-Free Gripping – No Compressed Air, No Vacuum Pump
G-VAC PS enables vacuum gripping entirely without compressed air and without the need for local vacuum generation.
This goes against what is considered standard in industrial automation, but it works reliably in real-world applications.
- No compressor
- No vacuum pump
- No pneumatic infrastructure
Why this matters
Compressed air-based systems are considered proven—but they are technically complex, energy-intensive, and prone to maintenance issues.
They are often used not because they are the best solution, but because there was no alternative for a long time.
This is exactly where G-VAC PS comes in.
Applications
For gripping or securing solid and smooth workpieces, such as:
- Metal parts
- Glass panels
- Plastic components
- Coated wood panels
System Properties
- Passive suction without active vacuum generation
- Hold without power
- Fail-safe principle: no release in the event of a power failure
- Integrated acceleration and vacuum sensors
- Status and diagnostic signals for predictive maintenance
- Virtually silent operation
- Compatible with all standard suction cups
- Compatible with common fieldbus systems
(e.g., Profinet, IO-Link) - Payload up to 5 kg
Technical classification
G-VAC PS is not a variation of a classic ejector or pump system.
The vacuum is generated and maintained without external power.
This eliminates the entire infrastructure required by conventional solutions.
The system follows a different physical logic—not an optimization of existing approaches.
What this changes
- Elimination of the entire compressed air supply
- Significantly reduced energy consumption
- Fewer components = fewer sources of error
- Higher system stability
- Easier integration into existing systems
For anyone who wants to test it
If you’re wondering whether this works under real-world conditions:
That’s exactly what the system is designed for.
The difference isn’t evident in the data sheet, but in the application.
