Is the grip of a suction cup secure?
A suction cup works by activating a vacuum generator when making contact with the workpiece. The generator sucks out the air from the cup's interior, which creates a vacuum inside. Because the air pressure outside the cup is now greater, it pushes against it to create a strong and secure hold.
