Size for flow
Filters, valves, silencers, fittings, and hose must pass the required flow without creating excessive pressure loss.

Selection framework
How to choose
Begin with the workpiece and cycle, then verify performance, interfaces, environment, and maintenance needs against the family data.
Confirm the pressure range
Check vacuum and positive-pressure ratings, especially in circuits that use blow-off or pressure-side control.
Protect the circuit
Place filtration where contamination enters and make element condition visible and serviceable.
Plan the signal chain
Choose switch range, output type, response time, connector, and control logic together rather than as separate decisions.

5.1
Vacuum Filters
Particulate protection for the ejector nozzle, which is the component least tolerant of dust. Transparent housings allow a contamination check without a shutdown.
ZFA
Universal Vacuum Filter
- Vacuum Flow (NL/min)
- 10 to 140
- Rated Operating Pressure Range (MPa)
- -0.1 to 0.8
ZFB
Universal Vacuum Filter
- Rated Operating Pressure Range
- -100 to 0 kPa
- Working Temperature
- -20 to 80 ℃
ZFE
Small Vacuum Filter
- Rated operating pressure range
- -100 to 0 kPa
- Working temperature
- 0 to 60 ℃
5.2
Control Valves
Pneumatically and electrically actuated valves for supply and exhaust control, normally open and normally closed.
ZVAB
Pneumatic Control Valve
- Air Supply Pressure (bar)
- 1.5 to 8
- Working Temperature (°C)
- -10 to 60
ZVAC
Pneumatic Control Valve
- Air Supply Pressure
- 1.0 to 8.0 bar
- Working Temperature
- 0 to 60 °C
5.3
Check & Non-Return Valves
Hold vacuum in the gripping circuit when a neighbouring cup is uncovered, and prevent backflow on supply failure.
5.4
Blow-Off & Throttle Valves
Release and flow control at the cup, where the dead volume to be repressurised is smallest.
5.5
Switches & Gauges
Digital pressure switches with setpoint output for part-present interlocks, and mechanical gauges for commissioning.
5.6
Silencers
Exhaust noise attenuation. An unsilenced ejector at full flow is the loudest item on most gripping tools.
5.7
Fittings, Hose & Accessories
One-touch and barbed fittings, cup fittings, shunts, block plugs, reinforced hose and clamps.
PJP
Universal One-Touch Fitting

PTS
Steel-Reinforced Transparent PVC Hose
- Operating Pressure Range
- 0.2 to 7.0 bar
