Vacuum Knowledge

Dive into the world of vacuum technology!

In our knowledge area you will find comprehensive information on the subject of vacuum and vacuum technology.

  • BASIC KNOWLEDGE 
    How does a vacuum work? A vacuum is created when the pressure in an enclosed space is reduced to below atmospheric pressure. But how is this state achieved and which physical principles play a role? In this section, we give you a comprehensive introduction to the basics of vacuum and explain the physical processes in detail. Get to know the basic terms and principles that are essential for understanding vacuum technology.
     
  • FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE 
    How is a vacuum lifting device constructed and how do the individual components work? Each component of a vacuum system has its own specific function and contributes to the overall success. From the vacuum pump to the valves and filters - we explain the tasks and functions of the individual components. Find out how these components interact and what role they play in your vacuum system. We will show you the detailed structure of a vacuum lifting device and explain how the individual parts work together to lift heavy loads safely and efficiently.
     
  • VACUUM SYSTEM 
    What should be considered when designing a vacuum system? There are many factors to consider when planning and designing a vacuum system. What requirements must the system fulfil? Which pump is the right one for your application? How do materials and seals affect efficiency? In this section, you will learn all about the decisive criteria and receive valuable tips for the optimum design of your vacuum system. We provide you with practical information and helpful recommendations for developing an effective and reliable vacuum system.
     
  • CONVERSION TABLES 
    Which conversions are important in vacuum technology? Conversion tables are essential for navigating between different pressure units and other parametric variables in the vacuum sector. In this section you will find comprehensive tables and tools to help you with the practical application of vacuum technology.
     
  • HOW SUCTION PLATES WORK 
    How do suction plates work in a vacuum system? The suction plate is a key component for successfully lifting and holding loads using a vacuum. Find out here how suction plates are constructed, which mechanisms are decisive for their function and how you can select the right suction plate for your requirements.
     
  • HOLDING FORCE, LOAD CAPACITY 
    How is the holding force and load capacity of vacuum lifters calculated? The load capacity of a vacuum lifter depends on various factors, including the suction plate, the base and the atmospheric conditions. In this section, you will gain insight into the calculation methods and factors that influence the holding force.
     
  • CALCULATION OF LOAD CAPACITY, NUMBER AND DIAMETER OF SUCTION PLATES 
    Which diameter is suitable for your application? The diameter of the suction plate has a direct influence on the load capacity and flexibility of your vacuum system. This section provides guidance on selecting the correct diameter for your specific requirements.
