Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC ZP Vacuum Buffer used for?

The SMC ZP Vacuum Buffer is used in automated material handling and pick-and-place systems to absorb shock and maintain consistent vacuum levels during rapid movements. Its rotating design and 20 mm stroke length help protect fragile components and extend gripper life in packaging, electronics assembly, and robotics applications.

What are the specifications of the SMC ZPB3J20-N01 vacuum buffer?

The SMC ZPB3J20-N01 is a rotating vacuum buffer with an M8x1.25 male connection and a 1/8 in NPT female port. It has a 20 mm stroke length and an 83 mm overall length. The part number is ZPB3J20-N01, and it is part of SMC's ZP series designed for vacuum gripping systems.

Where to buy the SMC ZPB3J20-N01 vacuum buffer worldwide?

You can source the SMC ZPB3J20-N01 vacuum buffer from 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor established in 1990. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time; we supply genuine SMC components for automated systems.

How to install the SMC ZP vacuum buffer?

Install the SMC ZP vacuum buffer by connecting the M8x1.25 male thread to the vacuum gripper and the 1/8 in NPT female port to the vacuum line. Ensure the buffer is aligned with the load axis to prevent side loads. Use thread sealant on NPT connections and verify free movement of the rotating stroke before operation.
