SMC for use with ZK2 Series Vacuum Ejectors Vacuum Generator

This vacuum generator is a Compact pneumatic ejector designed to create and control vacuum in automation equipment. It integrates a two-stage ejector with pilot-operated supply and release valves, a digital vacuum pressure switch with selectable output functions, and a silencer exhaust configuration, making it suitable for inline vacuum generation within industrial pneumatic systems.

• Maximum vacuum performance of -91 kPa for reliable suction
• Supply pressure operating range 0.3 to 0.6 MPa for stable input
• Air consumption 58 l/min to manage energy use in cycles
• Noise level 75 dB to help meet workplace acoustic limits
• Digital pressure switch with 0.1 kPa increment for precise control
• Switch output PNP 2 outputs with 80 mA max load for signalling

• Suitable for pick-and-place grippers in automated assembly lines
• Ideal for vacuum handling of electronic components
• Used with pneumatic conveyors for lightweight parts transfer
• Can be used for vacuum clamping in machining or inspection

It runs from a 12 to 24V DC supply with reverse-polarity protection and consumes up to 40 mA for the switch Plus valve power of 0.4 W.

The pressure switch is available with an L-type plug connector and lead wire for straightforward electrical integration.

It is designed for clean compressed Air and includes a 30 μm element rating with a 510mm² filtration area at the suction inlet.

Switch response is 2.5 MS or less, with adjustable anti‑chatter timings from 20 to 2000 MS to suit cycle stability.
