Overview
The SCHMALZ VEE-CO18-L-G3/8-IG connector lower shell is a critical component for building modular vacuum end-effector systems. Connector lower shell VEE-CO-L is delivered in packaging units containing 4 pieces. Connector lower shell VEE-CO-L contains sealing element and four screws, enabling fast assembly and reliable nodal connections in vacuum gripping applications. The G3/8-IG designation indicates a G3/8″ female (internal) thread connection, compatible with standard industrial pneumatic and vacuum lines.
Key Features
