Product Overview
A vacuum glass suction cup with a screw connection needs a fastening arrangement that places the rubber at the correct distance from its supporting bracket. Thread engagement, bracket thickness and any intervening hardware determine that position. The cup face must remain free to meet the glass after the connection is assembled.
Check where the screw stops. Bottoming in a blind receiving feature can leave the bracket apparently tight while its intended seating surface remains clear. Conversely, a projection beyond the bracket can interfere with nearby components. Define these spaces with the actual hardware in place.
Leave access for the fastening tool without using the rubber rim to react the tightening force. Once secured, the cup should have no residual twist that tilts its contact face. Check its approach to the glass as a completed bracket assembly.
Surface condition and the applied load still require assessment in the intended installation. Inspect both the threaded connection and the rubber transition during maintenance. A loose fastener and a damaged lip are separate faults; additional tightening will not restore contact through a cut edge or unsuitable glass surface.
- Material options
- Rubber compound options, customized alongside the profile and contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Solid rubber options: 30–90 Shore A. Thread engagement, bracket thickness and any intervening hardware determine that position.
- Custom geometry
- Leave access for the fastening tool without using the rubber rim to react the tightening force.
- Fit evaluation
- Check its approach to the glass as a completed bracket assembly.
- Color & OEM
- Custom colors; OEM markings outside the suction contact face.
Photos illustrate structure or material appearance only. Thread engagement, bracket thickness and intervening hardware set the suction cup's distance from its support. 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.
