Teat Cup LONG (Type C - Plastic)
Part Number: 5.1002.0491.0 | Item Code: 205111
Suitable for Lely Astronaut A2, A3, A4, and A5 Robotic Milking Systems
Optimize your milking setup with the Type C Long Teat Cup, specifically designed for use with standard rubber liners and vented liner systems. Measuring 14.5cm in length, this high-impact plastic shell provides the extra depth and stability required for longer liner profiles, ensuring a secure fit and consistent vacuum performance throughout the milking process.
The Type C shell is manufactured from a durable, food-grade polymer that offers a lightweight alternative to traditional stainless steel. This reduced weight minimizes the mechanical strain on the robotic arm's drive systems, contributing to smoother attachment cycles and reduced maintenance on arm cables and motors.
Features & Benefits
- Universal Robot Compatibility: A direct fit for all generations of Lely Astronaut robots, from the A2 through to the A5.
- Designed for Rubber Liners: Specifically optimized for the Lely Astronaut rubber teat liner, as well as the HappyLiner FL-0021 and FL-0021 VENTED models.
- Lightweight Performance: The 14.5cm plastic construction provides the necessary length for stable milking without the weight penalty of metal shells.
- Vibration & Impact Resistant: Built to withstand the daily rigors of a robotic barn, including cow kicks and exposure to corrosive cleaning chemicals.

Maintenance Tip
When using the 14.5cm Type C shells, ensure your liner tension is checked regularly. Because these shells are designed for rubber liners, which can stretch over time, maintaining the correct tension is critical for effective milk-out and teat-end health. Inspect the plastic for any deep gouges or cracks that could trap bacteria. If you are transitioning from a short-shell setup to these longer Type C cups, remember to verify that your robotic arm's "park" and "attachment" height settings are adjusted to accommodate the extra length.
