SMC Corporation NVFS2500-9FZ Vacuum Generator

The SMC NVFS2500-9FZ is a compact vacuum generator with an integrated valve that combines a vacuum ejector and valve control in a single unit, designed to deliver a dependable vacuum source for small-part handling in automated assembly lines. It can be used as a standalone unit or wired into a manifold to supply multiple vacuum pads, reducing plumbing complexity and enabling rapid venting when needed. In the NVFS 2500 series, typical port configurations include a 1/8" NPTF vacuum port (Cv about 0.65) with a corresponding 20 ms response time, and an alternative 1/4" NPTF port with a Cv around 0.67, allowing selection based on desired flow and vacuum performance. The NVFS family is built around built-in valve control, enabling precise management of vacuum and exhaust for reliable workpiece retention and release during gripping cycles. Common applications include micro-pick-and-place and fixture-holding tasks in electronics assembly, packaging, and light-duty automation where compact form factor and fast response are essential.
