SMC Vacuum Generator, 1 mm nozzle, -48 kPa 12 L/min, ZH series

This vacuum generator is a Compact pneumatic module designed to produce negative pressure for automated handling in industrial settings. It operates from a compressed Air supply and delivers suction suitable for pick-and-place or small-part adsorption tasks within automation, electronics and mechanical production lines.

• Maximum suction flow 12 L/min provides responsive pick-up performance
• Maximum supply pressure 0.45 MPa supports standard factory pneumatic systems
• Maximum vacuum pressure −48 kPa enables stable holding of light components
• 1mm nozzle improves focused suction on small or precision items
• One-touch fitting supply port allows Rapid tube connection and replacement
• Collinear vacuum port simplifies inline piping arrangements

• Suitable for vacuum pick-and-place of small electronic parts
• Ideal for suction of lightweight mechanical components
• Used with ejector manifolds for centralised vacuum systems
• Can be used for laboratory handling that requires a Compact vacuum source
• Suitable for integration into automated assembly and testing rigs

A one-touch fitting is provided on the supply port so tubing can be connected or disconnected quickly without threaded fittings.

The 1mm nozzle concentrates airflow to maintain suction at small contact areas, improving response when picking precision parts.

When driven from the rated supply pressure, expect a maximum vacuum of −48 kPa and a Peak suction flow up to 12 L/min for handling light loads.

The vacuum port is collinear with the supply, allowing straighter piping runs and simpler inline layouts in confined assemblies.
