by David Peters

If you know Wood's Powr-Grip, you know that vacuum cups are widely used for lifting and maneuvering a variety of materials, such as glass, stone slabs, appliances, etc. But did you also know Powr-Grip offers many types of vacuum cups that can be used as a base for mounting a wide range of items? Our mounting cups can be used for many different applications, ranging from a simple photography need to more complex applications

These mounting cups are pre-assembled, ready to use and suitable for a wide range of hands-free photography applications.

But we don't stop there! We offer mounting cups with bases ranging from a 3" [8 cm] vacuum pad up to a 10" [25 cm] vacuum pad, to accommodate a wide range of tools and equipment used with many different products in many different industries. These vacuum mounts are available with a variety of threaded studs or tapped holes including 1/4-20, 3/8-16 and other sizes that accommodate nearly all tools and equipment.

The smallest of these cups is the TL3AM, which has a 3" [8 cm] vacuum pad. This mounting cup is ideal for mounting small gadgets, cameras, electronic equipment and tools. For example, they are widely used for mounting tools in the Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) and windshield chip repair industry. They also make great portable mounts for small lights, web cams and small video cameras.

The next size cup is the LJ45AM, which has a 4.5" [11 cm] vacuum pad. These cups are used for mounting items too heavy for the 3" [8 cm] cups, including speakers, booms, signs and lights, as well as agricultural devices such as monitors and light bars, and of course cameras of all types.

When in need of mounting even larger equipment, the TL6AM has a 6" [15 cm] vacuum pad that is better suited for the job. They are widely used for mounting electronic equipment in many industries.

For jobs that require mounting larger equipment, we offer the N6000NBP with a 10" [25 cm] vacuum pad and a mounting platform for attaching larger, heavier objects. The 10" [25 cm] vacuum base is concave and will attach to curved surfaces of all sorts. This type of mount is commonly used in the film industry for mounting lights, booms and cameras in and on vehicles, glass and metal. You can also upgrade the N6000NBP vacuum cup with our new Low Vacuum Audio Alarm, which utilizes a battery operated alarm to warn the user of any significant vacuum loss.

Wood's Powr-Grip offers a wide variety of mounting solutions for a wide variety of applications. If you would like more information on the products available, visit the Wood's Powr-Grip Authorized Dealer nearest you, or feel free to contact one of our Technical Sales Representatives.
