Product Overview

An assembled 85mm rubber suction cup should be selected around its whole mounting arrangement. The nominal size identifies the cup offering, while the attachment, sealing footprint and available surface determine how it fits the intended task. Custom dimensions and colors are available, with hardness options from 30 to 90 Shore A.

Check the complete assembly for alignment before attaching it. Hardware that sits off-center or presses into the rubber can alter the way the lip reaches the surface. Leave enough clear area for the entire perimeter and confirm that any nearby edge or joint remains outside the sealing region. A surface that looks flat over a small patch may still curve across the cup's full footprint.

Evaluate the attached unit under the actual force direction, contact duration and movement expected in use. The 85 mm dimension does not establish a lifting or support capacity. Keep the assembly supported appropriately during that evaluation so retention can be assessed without relying on an assumed rating.

Before each installation, clean the contact surface and cup lip. After release, inspect both the sealing edge and the hardware connection. A partly loose fitting can distort the cup during the next use even when the rubber itself has no visible tear. Preserve the evaluated assembly arrangement when replacing individual components rather than combining similar looking parts without checking their fit.

Material options: Rubber compound options, customized alongside the profile and contact conditions.
Hardness selection: Solid rubber options: 30–90 Shore A. Evaluate the attached unit under the actual force direction, contact duration and movement expected in use.
Custom geometry: Hardware that sits off-center or presses into the rubber can alter the way the lip reaches the surface.
Fit evaluation: Check the complete assembly for alignment before attaching it.
Color & OEM: Custom colors; OEM markings outside the suction contact face.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
