Boys and Girls,
In my quest to master vacuum clamping, I purchased two sets of Roclkler Vacuum Clamp Pods,

I used SketchUp to design a mounting scheme to my MFT style workbenches using their t-track mounting properties.
Made a number of different mounting bases out of pine boards to provide a more versatile way of mounting them to a MFT style workbench.
This system uses Nitto style air connectors and 6mm (ID) tubing.
While I bought my vacuum pump in a "Chamber & Pump Kit", I believe this is the actual pump,

Alternatively, I can connect it to my Grabo Pro-Lifter,

for cord free operation.
I use a 240V Aussie PowerCube,

You may need to search for your denomination.
The Sketchup model I used to design the MFT mounting bases are available from the SketchUp 3D warehouse,
