SMC Corporation VFR2300-1FZ Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

The SMC VFR2300-1FZ is a 5-port pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve from the VFR2000 family, designed for compact plug-in base mounting with Rc1/8 ports. This 3-position closed-center valve uses a single 100 VAC coil to switch between actuation paths and a neutral center that isolates all ports, making it suitable for precise control of pneumatic circuits in automated systems. It provides P, A, B, EA, and EB ports in a single compact body, allowing reliable operation of double-acting cylinders and complex two-output networks in tight spaces. The unit is intended for inlet pressures in the typical VFR2000 range, commonly cited as 0.2 to 0.9 MPa, enabling robust performance across standard industrial pressure supplies. Rubber seals and a plug-in base mounting arrangement support durable sealing and straightforward manifold integration, while preserving quick field service and modular compatibility with other VFR components. Applications include automation lines, fixture actuation, clamping, and pick-and-place tooling where a compact, 5-port, center-closed valve provides precise, low-leakage control without sacrificing reliability.
