Teat Cup Short (Lely Type A - Plastic)
Part Number: 5.1002.0543.0 | Item Code: 205112
Suitable for Lely Astronaut A2, A3, A4, and A5 Robotic Milking Systems
Maintain the precision and lightweight balance of your robotic milking arm with the Lely Type A Plastic Short Teat Cup. Specifically designed for the Lely Astronaut series, this 13cm high-impact plastic shell is engineered to provide a lightweight alternative to stainless steel, reducing the load on the robotic arm's motors while ensuring a perfect fit for high-performance silicone liners.
The teat cup serves as the structural foundation for the milking process. These plastic shells are manufactured from a high-density, food-grade polymer that is designed to withstand the mechanical movements of the robot arm and the environmental rigors of the barn. The "Type A Short" plastic design is the preferred choice for producers looking for a compact, durable shell that facilitates quick attachment and stable milking without adding unnecessary weight to the arm assembly.

Maintenance Tip
When using plastic shells, it is important to inspect them regularly for hairline cracks or rough edges, especially around the base where the liner is inserted. Unlike stainless steel, plastic can develop surface burrs if kicked against concrete, which may lead to liner damage or hygiene issues. Ensure that the shells are seated correctly in the arm's "cups" to prevent attachment errors. If you are noticing the arm struggling with positioning speed, switching to these lightweight plastic shells can often improve response times compared to heavier steel alternatives
