SMC Corporation NVFS2500-5FZ Vacuum Generator

SMC VFS2500-5FZ is a 5-port, pilot‑operated solenoid valve designed to control vacuum and pneumatic lines in compact automation layouts. It is powered by a 24 VDC coil and is available in a direct‑piping, metal‑seal variant (VFS2500-5FZ‑Q) for tighter leak integrity. The VFS2500 family uses a 3‑position center configuration to provide on/off control with vent/hold functionality, making it well suited for regulating suction lines to vacuum cups in pick‑and‑place tasks and other automation applications. Typical operating pressure range is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, aligning with common plant air supplies, and the unit’s compact footprint supports integration into tight control panels and modular vacuum tooling within manufacturing, packaging, and automation environments.
