Vacuum Block 132x54x48mm Vacuum Cups 1/3 For Biesse Woodworking CNC Machines

Need a spare 1/3 size vacuum block for a Biesse machining centre without waiting on a serial-number order? This one is 132 x 54 x 48 mm, moulded in PF (phenol formaldehyde), in grey with brown also available. That is the small pad in the range, sized for narrow workpieces and tight pod layouts. Seals, ball valves and locating rings are separate parts, so a worn seal does not scrap the block. Customisation is supported, blocks ship from China, and the price is quoted per order.

A worn vacuum block does not fail loudly. The panel creeps, the cut drifts, and the part is scrap before anyone notices. Shops then hit the same three walls: a pad that no longer seals, a replacement ordered by serial number that takes weeks, and a whole block thrown away because one small seal wore out. This 1/3 size block answers all three.

The block is a 1/3 size suction block for Biesse woodworking CNC machining centres. It measures 132 mm long, 54 mm wide across the top face and 48 mm high. That is the small member of the pod family: it fits narrow workpieces and tight layouts. The top face carries the sealing ring, the ball valve controls vacuum, and the locating ring positions the block on the table grid.

The body is made from PF, phenol formaldehyde, a thermoset that keeps its shape under clamping load and does not conduct electricity. At the sealing face it resists abrasion from panel dust and holds its dimensions through repeated vacuum cycles, keeping the 48 mm height consistent.

Colours are grey, with brown also available. Seals, ball valves and locating rings are separate matched parts, so a worn seal can be changed without scrapping the block. Customisation is supported for a different pad. Blocks ship from China and are quoted per order: send the machine model, colour and quantity.

What the block brings to a Biesse table:

• 132 x 54 x 48 mm envelope — the three dimensions that decide fit: 132 mm length, 54 mm top-face width, 48 mm height.
• 1/3 size format — the small pod in the range, sized for narrow workpieces and closely spaced layouts.
• PF thermoset body — phenol formaldehyde moulding that is hard, non-conductive and stable under clamp load.
• Grey, with brown available — two colour options for a machine hall that already runs one or the other.
• Three matched accessories — seal, ball valve and locating ring, each supplied as its own replaceable part.
• Biesse application — listed as a spare part for Biesse woodworking CNC machining centres, with the fit checked by size.
• Seal renewed on its own — the sealing ring is a separate wear part, so one dull edge does not retire a whole block.
• Customisation supported — if a job needs a different pad, the block can be quoted to your own dimensions.
• One 48 mm support plane — the 48 mm height is the number to match when a row of pods sits on one table.

The usual choice is between waiting on a machine-maker part number and keeping a worn block in service. This one shortens both waits.

• Order by size, not by serial number. The 132 x 54 x 48 mm dimension is the specification, so a block can be quoted from the measurement you take off a worn pad.
• Wear parts instead of whole blocks. Seals, ball valves and locating rings are separate items, so the 48 mm body stays on the table while small parts are renewed.
• A pad that seals again. A new sealing ring on a flat 132 mm top face restores vacuum at the panel, which is where creeping cuts begin.
• Two colours, one block. Grey for the usual machines, brown where the hall already runs brown, from the same 132 x 54 x 48 mm size.
• Custom pads without a tooling project. Customisation is supported, so an odd layout becomes a request rather than a reason to keep an unsealed block running.
• Spare-part maths that closes. One 132 mm block plus three accessory lines covers the whole wear surface of the pod.

Yes, if the pad you are replacing measures 132 x 54 x 48 mm. This is the 1/3 size block listed for Biesse woodworking CNC machining centres, so it is a size match rather than a universal pad cut down to fit. Measure the old block across its top face before ordering.

It means the small member of the pod family. The footprint is 132 mm by 54 mm at the top with a 48 mm height, which is the size used where the layout leaves no room for a wider pad.

PF, phenol formaldehyde. The thermoset is hard, non-conductive and holds its dimensions through vacuum cycles, so the sealing face stays flat under clamp load.

Either, as long as the size is right. Grey is the listed colour and brown is also available; the 132 x 54 x 48 mm body and the PF material are the same, so pick what the machine hall already uses.

Yes. All three are listed as available accessories, so they can be ordered with the block or on their own as replacement items.

No. The sealing ring is a separate part. Renewing it on a flat 132 mm top face is usually enough to bring vacuum back, and the 48 mm body stays in service.

Yes, customisation is supported. Send the length, width and height you need, ideally with a sketch or a photo of the old part, and the block is quoted against those numbers.

Send the quantity, the colour and the machine model you are fitting. The block is quoted per order rather than listed at a fixed price, and parts ship from China by air, by sea or by express.
