Product Overview

Suction Cups with Threaded Screw connections should be developed around the mounting space as well as the target surface. The thread must engage the intended hardware while leaving the cup body enough clearance to contact and deform without rubbing against the bracket or neighboring parts.

Material, dimensions, hardness and color can be customized. Define the connection and cup profile with the actual assembly, including the direction of approach. A thread that fits mechanically does not establish that the cup lip will meet the surface at the correct angle.

Evaluate the complete holding and release arrangement under its required conditions. No load capacity follows from the threaded feature alone. During installation, use the designated fastening method and inspect orientation afterward. Keep residue away from the lip and check the connection during maintenance. If contact becomes uneven, examine the bracket and thread condition before changing the cup size, so a mounting issue is not mistaken for an unsuitable rubber profile.

Material options: Custom silicone compound; formulation and geometry developed together.
Hardness selection: Silicone options: 20–80 Shore A. The thread must engage the intended hardware while leaving the cup body enough clearance to contact and deform without rubbing against the bracket or neighboring parts.
Custom geometry: If contact becomes uneven, examine the bracket and thread condition before changing the cup size, so a mounting issue is not mistaken for an unsuitable rubber profile.
Fit evaluation: Evaluate the complete holding and release arrangement under its required conditions.
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.
