Heavy-duty spring levellers

Paul Boughton

The new SZ-NIV-HD series of heavy-duty spring levellers, from FIPA GmbH, offers vacuum components for dynamic handling and short cycle times in rough production environments.

Spring levellers – also called spring loaded suction fingers – ensure that the attached vacuum cups handle sensitive products gently and also protect the gripper from collision damage. 

The damping effect is accomplished by a spiral spring attached to the push rod, which compensates for height differences when handling the product.

The new heavy-duty spring levellers have long service life – even in dusty production environments. The reason for this is the high-quality IGUS plain bearing which offers high abrasion resistance and excellent sliding properties with minimum play. The narrow gap allows only a small amount of dust to enter the plain bearing.

Even if dust particles are present, the lubricant embedded in the bushing material ensures smooth running and thus maintenance-free operation throughout the entire service life. Other attributes of the heavy-duty spring levellers are the stainless steel shaft and the optional rotation protection, which has been significantly improved with regard to accuracy and durability.
