SMC Corporation VQC5401-51 Solenoid Valve Block

SMC VQC5401-51 is a five-port, three-position solenoid valve block that delivers compact, base-mounted pneumatic control for multi-port circuits. The soft-seal variant (Mjuktätande) uses a 5/3 configuration with a closed center, enabling the center position to block flow while the end positions route air to the appropriate ports. Rated for an operating pressure range of 0.2–1.0 MPa (2–10 bar) and delivering a flow of up to 3780 L/min when mounted on a single plate, it suits high-demand automation tasks while occupying minimal space. The VQC5401-51 is designed for base mounting with plug-in connections, making it straightforward to integrate into existing manifolds and control banks. Part of SMC's VQC5000 family, this valve block supports reliable sequencing and multi-channel actuation across ports, ideal for controlling double-acting cylinders, pilot lines, or branching air paths in compact automation cells. Typical applications include packaging lines, pick-and-place stations, CNC tooling setups, and other equipment requiring a dense, dependable valve block without sacrificing response or precision.
