Bosch Rexroth is adding compact vacuum ejectors to its EBS vacuum generator series. Both of the new versions – the EBS-PT compact basic ejector and the small EBS-PI inline ejector – have many similarities, yet they have been optimised for different applications. Both work according to the Venturi principle for single-stage vacuum ejectors; however, they are claimed to deliver a strong vacuum with a simultaneous high suction capacity. Additionally, both ejectors are lightweight and can be integrated into a pneumatics handling system quickly and easily.

The construction of the ejectors is claimed to be unique, with no moving parts, making it wear- and maintenance-free. Thanks to their low weight, the ejectors can be mounted close to the suction cups, enabling short evacuation times and reduced air consumption.

Both the EBS-PT and EBS-PI ejectors are suitable for use in the automation, electronics and packaging industries. The larger EBS-PT version is also suitable for tasks in sectors such as the automotive industry, paper industry, woodworking industry, and sheet metal processing industry, whereas the smaller EBS-PI has been optimised for intricate handling tasks.

The EBS-PT is available in six performance levels with either a push-in fitting or threaded connection, offering numerous integration options. Mounting can be either directly via side holes in the ejector's housing or by means of a clip-on strip. The latter option enables simple and fast assembly of various ejector sizes on one strip. For smaller applications, the EBS-PI ejector measures just 57mm long and 10mm in diameter, and is available with two performance levels.
