Vaccon SLB40 Heavy Duty Spring Levelers feature a gentle touch when handling delicate objects such as fruit, allowing end-of-arm tools to ensure that all cups make contact, even with uneven surfaces. This is especially important when handling large warped objects such as sheets of plywood and the tool has multiple vacuum cups that must make contact.

Vaccon’s Spring Leveler design surpasses the competition, offering large thru-bores that deliver higher vacuum flow to overcome leakage and for rapid evacuation ensuring safe handling operations.

The SLB40 Series Heavy Duty Spring Levlers offer a large range of sizes and travel lengths from 0.4" (10mm) to 3.6" (91mm), accommodating the necessary over-driving by the lifting mechanism to bring all cups in contact with the parts.

Vaccon Heavy Duty Spring Levelers utilize a rigid mounting bracket for strong, solid connections to 1.5" (40mm) extrusions, ideal for applications which require lifting heavy loads without deflection.
