Vacuum Generators are available in various configurations.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for pick and place, clamping, lifting, chucking, and surface mounting applications, E-Vac(TM) series of compressed air powered vacuum generators have single stage design that provides consistent, steady vacuum without fluctuations. Low vacuum units up to 21 in. Hg generate more airflow to overcome porosity and leakage when used with porous materials, such as cardboard, while high vacuum units up to 27 in. Hg suit non-porous materials such as glass, steel sheet, and plastic.

Vacuum Generators for Lifting, Clamping and Placement
Date: September 3, 2008
EXAIR's new E-Vac(TM) is a series of low cost, compressed air powered vacuum generators for "pick and place", clamping, lifting, chucking, and surface mounting applications. These vacuum pumps are available in a variety of sizes and flows along with a selection of vacuum cups suitable for a wide range of applications.
E-Vac has been engineered for high efficiency to minimize air consumption and increase cycle speeds. EXAIR's in-line, single stage design provides consistent, steady vacuum without the fluctuations commonly experienced with mechanical vacuums. Each unit is compact so it can be mounted close to the work surface for fast attach and release times when used with vacuum cups. E-Vac is maintenance free and has no moving parts to wear out.
E-Vac is available in two styles. Low vacuum units up to 21"Hg (71kPa) generate more airflow to overcome porosity and leakage when used with porous materials such as cardboard. High vacuum units up to 27"Hg (91kPa) are ideal for non-porous materials such as glass, steel sheet, and plastic. Kit configurations that include vacuum cups, fittings, tubing and a mounting clip are available. Prices start at $58.
