When handling sensitive objects such as fruit, Vaccon Spring Levelers feature a soft touch allowing compliance for end-of-arm tools to ensure that all cups make contact. This is especially important when handling large objects such as sheets of plywood that may be warped and the tool has multiple vacuum cups that must make contact.

For design flexibility, Vaccon offers a large range of sizes and travel lengths 0.2" (5mm) to 3.6" (91mm) to accommodate the necessary over-driving by the lifting mechanism to bring all cups in contact. Vaccon’s Spring Leveler design surpasses the competition. We offer large thru-bores that allow higher vacuum flow to overcome leakage and for rapid evacuation to ensure safe handling operations.

The Series 3 Levelers have high performance bearings that prevent binding from side loading, provide a smooth operation over long strokes and prolong leveler life.
