Abstract

A suction device for adhesion to a surface as used for e. g. for climbing robots comprises at least one suction unit comprising a flexible suction member (8) creating a vacuum chamber (16) between the surface (17) and an inner side of the suction member (8) facing the surface (17), and a vacuum activator for creating a vacuum in the vacuum chamber (16), such that the suction device adheres to the surface (17). The at least one suction unit comprises a moveable rod (13), which on one end is essentially perpendicular connected to an outer side of the suction member (8) and on the other end is connected to the vacuum activator by a screw drive (10, 11) such that a rotational movement of the vacuum activator is transferred to a linear movement of the rod (13) lifting a middle part of the suction member (8) away from the surface (17) for creating a vacuum in the vacuum chamber (16). Preferably the vacuum activator comprises a gear assembly using a toothed driving belt (20) for a gear reduction from a motor (2) to the screw drive (10, 11) of the suction unit.
