SMC Corporation VM130-F01 2-Position Mechanical Valve

The SMC VM130-F01-34BA is a compact, three-port, two-position mechanical valve from the VM100 family, designed for quick, tool-free manual control in tight pneumatic installations. It uses a twist-selector actuator to alternately connect the pressure port (P) to the work port (A) or to the exhaust port (R), delivering reliable directional control in small automation circuits. The valve body is side-ported and uses G1/8 (F01) connections to simplify plumbing in compact valve banks. This variant belongs to the VM130 line and is specifically configured as a two-position twist-selector valve, enabling fast manual actuation without electricity or pneumatics. It accepts standard clean air or inert gas as the process medium and is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, with an ambient operating range around -5 to 60 degrees Celsius (no freezing) to suit typical shop-floor environments. As a lightweight, space-saving member of the VM100 family, the VM130-F01-34BA is well suited for controlling small cylinders, gripping tools, or pilot lines in compact automation systems, where space is at a premium and quick manual overrides are valuable. The 34BA suffix identifies the twist-selector actuator configuration configured for 2-position operation, making it a straightforward substitute in VM100-compatible manifolds or valve blocks.
