PIAB
PIAB is a Swedish manufacturer of vacuum automation components, founded in 1951 and headquartered in Stockholm. The company specializes in vacuum pumps, vacuum generators, suction cups, grippers, and related accessories for industrial material handling and automation. PIAB's product portfolio includes the COAX series of vacuum generators, which use a multistage ejector design for energy efficiency, and the Kenos Safe&Light foam grippers for collaborative robot applications. The company also produces a wide range of vacuum pads in flat, bellows, and multi-bellows configurations, with materials including polyurethane, silicone rubber, and EPDM, available in various durometers and sizes. PIAB components are used in packaging, logistics, food processing, and general automation, with products rated for IP40 or higher depending on configuration. 3G Electric supplies over 300 SKUs of PIAB vacuum components, including vacuum generators like the VGS 3010 and piINLINE Plus, vacuum pad assemblies such as the BX25P and MX series, and accessories like the LC level compensators. The inventory covers pad diameters from 22.1 mm to 240 mm, connection sizes from G1/8 to G1/4, and materials suitable for food contact (FDA-compliant silicone) and high-wear environments (polyurethane). PIAB's COAX MINI Xi10-3 cartridge, used in the VGS 3010, is a key component for compact vacuum generation in automated systems. 3G Electric supports global procurement with logistics coordination, enabling engineers and maintenance managers to source PIAB parts for new installations or replacements without geographic restrictions.
