SMC Compact Vacuum Generator for Use With ZK2 Series Vacuum Ejectors, Pneumatic Unit, Analogue Pressure ZK2A10K5PLA-08

SMC ZK2A10K5PLA-08 Compact Vacuum Generator is engineered for use with ZK2 Series Vacuum Ejectors to provide efficient and continuous vacuum generation in industrial pneumatic systems. This unit features an integrated two-stage ejector, pilot-operated valves, and an analogue pressure sensor output for precise pressure feedback and control.

Designed for automated handling and pick-and-place operations, this Vacuum Generator delivers a maximum vacuum level of -91 kPa, enabling robust grip and reliable performance. It operates within a supply pressure range of 0.3 to 0.6 MPa to ensure stable operation across varying conditions.

Low power consumption is achieved with a current draw of 15 mA or less, supporting energy-efficient installations. The noise emission level is maintained at 66 dB for quieter integration within factory environments. A 30 micrometer element filtration rating safeguards the internal components, enhancing durability and reducing maintenance requirements.

The unit requires a DC electrical supply ranging from 12 to 24V with a maximum ripple of 10% peak-to-peak, and a rated valve voltage of 24V DC for valve actuation. Connection to plant vacuum lines is via a ø8 one-touch metric fitting, allowing for rapid and secure hose attachment. Its compact installation footprint facilitates flexible mounting arrangements.

Environmental operating limits include temperatures from 0 to 50 °C, vibration resistance up to 30 m/s², and impact resistance up to 150 m/s², with sensor storage temperature tolerance from -20 to 70 °C. The integrated analogue pressure sensor offers repeatability of ±0.2% F.S., linearity of ±0.4% F.S., and accuracy of ±2% F.S. at 25 °C, operating effectively in 35 to 85% relative humidity without condensation.

Typical air consumption stands at 40 liters per minute, with maximum suction flow around 44 liters per minute, depending on silencer exhaust configurations. This design suits a range of industrial and manufacturing applications such as robotic assembly lines, electronics component handling, automated packaging, pneumatic automation, and mechanical suction transfers.

Maximum vacuum level of -91 kPa ensures strong grip performance. Supply pressure operating range from 0.3 to 0.6 MPa offers stable operation. Analogue output voltage from 1 to 5V allows direct process monitoring. Low current consumption of 15 mA reduces power draw.

Noise level of 66 dB ensures quieter factory integration. Element filtration rating of 30 micrometers protects internal components. Operates on 12 to 24V DC power supply with rated valve voltage of 24V DC. Vacuum port uses ø8 one-touch metric fitting for quick hose connection.

Suitable for robotic pick-and-place, electronics manufacture, packaging, pneumatic automation, and mechanical handling. Functions reliably between 0 and 50 °C, with vibration and impact resistance.
