DURAFLEX friction cups from Piab provide firm grip on slippery materials

Piab offers DURAFLEX friction cups for gripping oily and wet surfaces. The cups feature a rough cleat surface and sharp cleat edges and channels. This grip pattern enables operators to move slippery metal goods without slowing production lines.

The cups maintain their hold on heavy and slippery sheets during accelerations and decelerations, especially in the instance of emergency stoppages. All parts are maintained in the proper position to facilitate applications such as stamping.

The friction cups will not break or crack after exposure to UV light, heat, or ozone, which is an issue with cups comprised of rubber compounds. To prevent damage to the surface of thin metal sheets common in automotive and large appliance applications, they feature a dual-hardness design and soft cup body.
