Electric vacuum gripper 200 kg for large glass panels and tiles

Overview

Electric vacuum gripper 200 kg for large glass panels and tiles: an electric vacuum lifter with a round suction pad. Its stated load capacity is 200 kg, and it costs around €60. It is sold without a brand name of its own, like many gripsters made in China.

Price and load capacity compared

Among the 200 round vacuum lifters in this comparison, it is priced below the median of €60. Its load capacity matches the typical value for this design (200 kg) almost exactly. That works out at 333 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat. Battery capacity is 1,800 mAh. LEDs signal whether the vacuum is holding.

Seal and applications

The sealing lip is rubber. On smooth surfaces such as glass, polished tiles and stone it seals very tightly and lasts a long time; on rough or textured surfaces it is at a disadvantage. According to the data sheet it is suitable for tiles, large-format tiles and glass.
