Piab DURAFLEX BX10P Suction Cup Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The Piab BX10P is a very small DURAFLEX suction cup with a diameter of 0.43 in. It uses a dual-hardness design with hard, firm bellows and a soft lip for a better seal.
The result is a better grip, less leakage and no marks on the surface, making it suitable for uneven and porous surfaces such as cardboard.
Quick Verdict
A tiny bellows cup that brings dual-durometer performance to small parts and labels, where standard small cups tend to leak.

Design and Operating Principle
Small cups have little lip area, so any leak quickly loses vacuum. A soft DURAFLEX lip conforms to rough or porous surfaces to keep leakage low.
Firm bellows provide height compensation while preventing the small cup from collapsing or wobbling, improving placement accuracy.
Mark-free material keeps printed or finished surfaces clean.
Integration and Selection
Use BX10P cups where space is tight, such as on small parts, labels or folded cartons. Combine several cups for heavier items.
Match vacuum generator flow to the porosity of the surface.
