  • Transparent pressure tube with an end connector

What a removable seal means in practice

Changing the seal changes how much of the cup's surface is under suction. The whole-surface seal is for large, rectangular pieces; the section seals restrict the suction area so the clamp also holds a piece that does not cover the whole cup. That is why the set contains four seals in three sizes.

What holding power depends on

The manufacturer states that clamping force depends on two things: the porosity of the clamped material and the cleanliness of the clamped surface. The stated 150 kg is therefore an upper limit reached on a sealed, clean face — porous material passes air and the vacuum will not hold.

Accessories

For switching and regulating the suction there is the lever valve M966-01, for connecting additional cups the T-splitter M966-02, and the seal is a consumable with its own replacement set M964-01.

How vacuum clamping works

A vacuum clamp does not really ”suck” the workpiece down. Air is removed from under the cup, and the clamping is done by the surrounding atmospheric pressure pressing the workpiece against the cup. Holding power therefore depends on two things: how large the sealed area is, and how well the workpiece blocks air from returning under the cup.

The seal decides

This is the single most important factor in vacuum clamping. If the workpiece passes air, or lets it in under the seal, the vacuum breaks down and the stated holding power is not reached — the fault may not be visible anywhere, the grip is simply weak.

  • Holds well: coated chipboard and MDF, melamine, laminate, plywood on the smooth face, glass, metal, stone and planed solid timber.
  • Holds poorly: rough sawn faces, unsanded surfaces, uncoated board on the edge, porous softwoods.
  • Does not hold: perforated board, mesh, fabric and porous insulation.

Cleanliness is part of the seal too: a speck of dust under the seal is a leak path. Wipe both the cup and the clamping surface before work, and test the grip before trusting it.

Venturi or vacuum pump

Vacuum can be generated in two ways, and the physics of the clamping is the same in both. A Venturi generator — as in this clamp — makes vacuum from compressed air: the air is accelerated through a restriction, the pressure drops and draws the air out from under the cup. It needs a compressor but has no moving parts and no maintenance. A vacuum pump makes vacuum electrically, uses less energy in continuous duty and works without an air line — but it is a more expensive device that needs servicing. In a shop that already has compressed air, the Venturi is in practice always the simpler answer.

INSTALLMENT

A vacuum clamp for holding non-porous workpieces during drilling, routing, sanding and other activities. The clamp is connected to compressed air from the compressor, and a Venturi tube system turns it into a powerful vacuum. Holding power is up to 150 kg.

Mounting and use

The clamp is fastened to a table or a stand from one side with screws or bolts, and it can be used horizontally or vertically. The rubber sealing is removable, so the suction surface can be adapted to small or irregular shapes.
