Vacuum Axial Ball Joints, IMU series

The IMU series axial ball joints are recommended for handling round or rotating products. When mounted on a flat suction cup, they transmit more force than a bellows suction cup. The vacuum connection is axial, and sealing is ensured by a special gasket in constant contact with the spherical joint. The suction cup mounted on the axial ball joint can rotate 360° around its axis and tilt 15°. The ball joints are made entirely of copper (or brass, depending on the interpretation of the original text, translating as 'brass' here for the joint body, and 'zinc-plated steel and brass' from the list), and the spherical part is made of stainless steel.
