SMC Corporation NVFS3100-3FZC Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

The SMC NVFS3100-3FZC is a five-port, pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve in the VFS3000 family, offered in base-mounted or body-ported configurations for flexible mounting on manifolds. As a 5‑way, 2‑position valve, it uses metal seals and can be equipped with a light/surge voltage suppressor to protect the coil and system. It handles compressed air up to 0.1 to 1 MPa (14.5 to 145 psi) with a Cv of 1.8, delivering reliable flow for small‑ to mid‑size actuators. The coil is an AC type, and the listing notes 94–138 V AC variants (examples include 110 V AC options), making it suitable for standard automation panels. This valve is designed for base-mounted or body-ported installations, enabling straightforward integration on custom manifolds or compact valve blocks. Typical applications include controlling double-acting cylinders, grippers, and other pneumatic devices in automation lines, robotics, packaging, and material-handling systems, where fast actuation (20 ms or less) and a compact form factor are advantageous.
