SMC SY5240-5HZE 5 Port Solenoid Valve Base Mount

SMC SY5240-5HZE is a base-mounted, 5-port solenoid valve from the SY3000/5000/7000 family, built for compact, high‑reliability pneumatic control in automated machinery. In the standard two-position configuration, it modulates air from the pressure supply (P) to one of two work ports (A and B) while exhausting to R1 and R2, enabling quick, precise actuation of cylinders or tools. The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, making it suitable for typical factory air systems. In base‑mount form, the valve presents an effective flow area of about 12.6 mm² (Cv around 0.70) for the P→A/B path, with alternative body-port configurations showing about 10.6 mm² (Cv around 0.59) in other SY5240 variants. The internal-pilot variant supports operation within a 0.1–0.7 MPa range, while external-pilot configurations within the SY5240 line can cover broader pilot pressures up to 0.7 MPa. This combination of compact footprint, precise switching, and standard pneumatic porting makes the SY5240-5HZE a common choice for space‑constrained installations where reliable 2‑position control is required.
