COVAL LEMAX Mini Vacuum Pump with ASC Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The COVAL LEMAX is a 130 g mini vacuum pump with Air Saving Control (ASC). Air is used only to create vacuum; once the regulated level is reached a valve closes and the part is held without consumption, saving 60 to 97% depending on the application.
A single module integrates pressure control, pilot solenoid valves, a non-clogging silencer, electronic vacuum switch, M8 connector and adjustable blow-off. Six configurations combine 1, 1.2 or 1.4 mm nozzles (29 to 70 Nl/min, 90% max vacuum) with NC or NO valves, and units can be island-mounted.
Quick Verdict
An efficient, intelligent mini pump for airtight parts that pays back through air savings.

Design and Operating Principle
ASC monitors vacuum and only reopens the supply when it drops, so holding consumes almost no air.
NC or NO valve choice supports fail-safe holding during power loss.
Compactness allows mounting near cups for faster gripping, which COVAL rates as twice as fast as multi-stage technology for holding time.
Integration and Selection
Select nozzle and valve type, mount near cups and wire the M8 connector. Use islands for multi-zone tools.
Use on airtight parts for maximum savings.
