The compact basic ejector schmalz base pump" [sbp] weighs only 5 gm, a fraction of the weight of comparable vacuum generators and is the lightest in its class and have an enormous suction capacity. Lightweight components are important not only in the automotive industry, but also, and particularly in the production and handling systems for the manufacture and assembly of parts. Every gram, which can be saved, and every reduction in the size, permits even faster and more dynamic motion of such handling systems, thus saving time, the machine tools need to wait for handing of the parts and changing of the workpieces. For this reason, the new basic vacuum generators of the sbp - schmalz base pump - series are tailor-made for use in lightweight vacuum gripper systems. The sbp-a vacuum generator with a single- stage nozzle - is available in six different power ratings with nozzle diameters between 0.5 and 2.5 mm. The one-piece plastic housing is robust and impact-resistant and can be mounted either on its side threaded mounting holes or, with the base and a terminal strip, in an upright position. The compressed air and vacuum can be connected quickly and easily by push in connections.
