SMC Corporation VFS4100-5FZ Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VFS4100-5FZ is a 5-port, pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve in the VFS4000 family, configured for 2-position, single-acting control with internal pilot actuation and a metal-seal main valve. It is built for driving medium- to large-diameter cylinders, and the 24 VDC coil drives the valve with Rc-style porting at 1/2 in (port size 04), including side-port configurations. The valve body is aluminum, providing a robust, lightweight housing for industrial environments, and it is offered in plug-in configurations that are compatible with SMC control units in the VFS lineup (VFS2000/3000/4000) and various manifold options. The optional Z configuration adds a light/surge voltage suppressor for transient protection, enhancing reliability in systems with switching transients. Typical applications include automated manufacturing and packaging lines where compact, modular valve control is required to precisely actuate pneumatic cylinders.
