160*115*17mm Lower Suction Plate Rubber Pads Without Step For CNC Machine

Need to renew the flat lower rubber plate under a vacuum cup on a HOMAG drilling centre? VCB412 is that plate in its no-step form: 160 x 115 x 17 mm, grey rubber, flat across the whole face. Length 160 mm, width 115 mm, section 17 mm — measure the worn pad and the fit is settled. It is the base of the cup, not the top cover that touches the panel. The stepped plate of the same footprint is VCB413. Carton packed, price on request.

A drilling centre rarely loses grip at the pump; it loses it at the plate under the cup. The lower rubber pad goes hard after enough cycles, the panel creeps a fraction of a millimetre between holes, the number on the old pad wears off before anyone reorders it, and the spare that arrives has a step in it when the cup is flat.

This is that part in its flat form: the lower suction plate rubber pad for CNC vacuum cups, 160 x 115 x 17 mm, moulded in grey rubber, supplied as the no-step version under part number VCB412. It is the lower plate of a cup on a HOMAG CNC drilling machine — the face the pod clamps onto, not the cover that touches the panel.

No-step means the working face is flat across the full 160 x 115 mm, with no raised shoulder and no recess: 17 mm is the section that sets the cup height. Those three figures are the entire geometry, so a rule on the worn pad settles it. The stepped plate of the same footprint is supplied separately as VCB413.

Fitting is a pad swap, not a rebuild: the plate lifts out and the cup keeps its position. Each plate is packed in a carton as a packed spare, made in China, price on request.

What the 160 x 115 x 17 mm plate gives you at the cup:

• 160 x 115 x 17 mm face — length, width and section are the whole fit check, settled by a rule across the worn pad.
• No-step version — flat edge to edge, with no shoulder and no recess, for cups that clamp on a plain lower plate.
• Grey rubber, one moulding — a single pad with 17 mm of section, so the cup sits at its original height once the plate goes back in.
• Lower plate position — this is the base the cup clamps onto, so the top cover and the pod stay as they are.
• Listed for HOMAG CNC drilling machines — the machine family named for these vacuum cups; check the cup on your table against the three figures first.
• Part number VCB412 — one number for this plate; quote it together with 160 x 115 x 17 mm and the order needs no photograph.
• Step version listed alongside — VCB413 carries the same 160 x 115 x 17 mm envelope with a step, so a table with both cup types is one order.
• Carton packed — arrives sealed as a spare rather than loose in a bag, and travels with other vacuum cup spares.
• Price on request — quantity plus the three measurements gets a quote checked against stock.

When the lower pad gives up there are two bad options — keep running and chase the panel, or pull the cup and lose the setting. This is the third:

• A pad change, not a cup change. The 17 mm base lifts out and the cup keeps its position on the table, so the job restarts on the same datum instead of a re-set one.
• Flat face, nothing to shim. A no-step plate seats against the cup face along its full 160 x 115 mm, so there is no shoulder to line up and no packing to cut.
• Four facts settle the order. 160 mm, 115 mm, 17 mm and VCB412 — the same four that stop the wrong pad arriving also let a stores clerk order without help.
• Both versions, one delivery. The flat plate and the stepped VCB413 share the 160 x 115 x 17 mm envelope, so two cup types on one table do not become two shipments.
• Renew the base, keep the rest. Only the rubber plate is consumed; the pod body, the cup height setting and the top cover stay, so 17 mm of rubber is the whole spend.
• Small, sealed, priced against quantity. A carton-packed spare quoted on the quantity and the three measurements, so a running rebuild can be planned rather than improvised.

Yes, if the old lower plate is the flat type and measures 160 x 115 x 17 mm. Measure the worn pad across, along and in height, check that the face carries no step, then quote VCB412 — those four checks decide it before the order is placed.

A step. VCB412 is the no-step plate, flat across the whole 160 x 115 mm face; VCB413 is the same 160 x 115 x 17 mm envelope with a step moulded in. The cup on your machine decides which one goes back in.

The lower plate. It is the base of the vacuum cup that the pod clamps onto; the top cover, the part that touches the panel, is a separate item and is not included with this pad.

No. The plate lifts out of the cup and the cup stays where it is. The pod body, its position on the table and the top cover are untouched, so only the rubber base is renewed.

Grey rubber, moulded as one pad. It is supplied in the no-step version at 160 x 115 x 17 mm, so the material and the geometry are fixed by the part number rather than by the batch.

With a rule on the old pad. 160 mm long, 115 mm wide and 17 mm thick is the whole specification — three figures, and a fourth check that the face is flat with no step.

In a carton, as a packed spare. The plate travels with other vacuum cup spares and is sent by courier such as UPS or FedEx, with the method agreed when the order is placed.

Price on request. Send the quantity, VCB412 and the three measurements — 160 x 115 x 17 mm — and the quote comes back against stock with the shipping option for your address.
