The IMU series axial ball joints are recommended for the handling of rounded or rotating products. Mounted on a flat suction pad they transfer more force than a bellow suction pad. The vacuum connection is axial and sealing is ensured by a special seal always in contact with the spherical articulation. The suction pad installed over the axial ball joint is free to rotate on its axis around 360° and can incline up to 15°. The ball joints are completely produced in copper excepting the spherical part which is in stainless steel.
