Q1: What are the main applications of the PCD series?
A: Precision pickup/transfer of CDs/DVDs, ring components, holed sheets, and other hollow workpieces.
Q2: How is it different from flat pads?
A: The ring-groove design avoids center pressure and delivers more reliable sealing/positioning on ring and hollow parts, reducing deformation and slip.
Q3: What size options are available?
A: Inner diameters ø19, 20, 23, 29.5, 34, 38, 46 mm—select by opening size and load conditions.
Q4: Is it suitable for high-speed automation?
A: Yes. The annular seal improves repeatability for fast pick-and-place; verify vacuum build/holding against your cycle time on tool.
Q5: How should I choose between N and S materials?
A: N (NBR) is general/oil-resistant; S (Silicone) is softer and minimizes marking for mark-sensitive parts or cleaner environments.
Q6: Does it help with thin-wall or deformation-prone parts?
A: Yes—by avoiding center loading and spreading force around the ring, it reduces local deformation and scratching; upsizing ID can further optimize loading.
Q7: Any mounting compatibility notes?
A: Confirm pad-holder thread/interface and clearance. If using locating pins/fixtures, ensure they don't interfere with the annular sealing area.
Q8: What are the cleaning and maintenance tips?
A: Use lint-free wipes and mild cleaners; inspect lip wear/hardening/cracks and replace pads when sealing performance declines.
