Suction Cups Types and Styles

Locate the suction cups for your business needs

Suction cups come in many types and styles. Typically made of rubber or plastic, they are designed to stick to smooth, nonporous surfaces. Suction cups have evolved, though, and you can with the help of vacuuming and bellowing, stick them to more than you imagined. Suction cups work by an air pressure reduction on the inside of the cup when the cup is applied to the surface. The higher air pressure on the outside keeps the cup in place, and friction keeps the cup from sliding.

Suction cups have many uses. Hang ornaments and signs. Use them in a kitchen or bathroom. Some with long necks are great for keeping items directly off of your glass surface. They are used to move items such as glass windows or glass panels. They can be used in the factory on the assembly line. The list goes on and on.
