Product Overview
A Flat suction cup assembly provides a broad contact face for an attachment designed around suction. The featured PVC cup can be customized in dimensions, color and hardness. Its success in an assembly depends on how the cup is supported behind that face as well as the condition of the surface it meets.
Keep the mounting arrangement centered so a bracket or connected part does not twist the flexible body. Uneven support can lift a small area of the lip, allowing air to reach beneath the cup. Check this with the final accessory installed rather than inspecting the loose cup alone.
Use a smooth, nonporous contact area large enough for the full footprint. Surface texture cannot be corrected simply by pressing harder on the middle. If the chosen location contains a seam or step, move the cup to a continuous region or reconsider the mounting layout.
For custom production, molded branding should remain clear of surfaces that need to seal or sit flat. After handling, remove dust from the cup face and examine it for local deformation. Release suction before repositioning the assembly instead of sliding it across the mounting surface under load.
- Material options
- PVC configuration as described; a custom silicone or rubber alternative requires its own fit evaluation.
- Hardness selection
- Elastomer alternatives only: silicone 20–80 Shore A; rubber 30–90 Shore A. Evaluate cup compliance with centered backing support; uneven support can lift the lip locally despite a broad contact face.
- Custom geometry
- The featured PVC cup can be customized in dimensions, color and hardness.
- Fit evaluation
- Check this with the final accessory installed rather than inspecting the loose cup alone.
- Color & OEM
- Custom colors; OEM markings outside the suction contact face.
Photos illustrate structure or material appearance only. Uneven support can lift a small area of the lip, allowing air to reach beneath the cup. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.

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.
