SMC VFM350 Mechanical Valve

SMC VFM350 Mechanical Valve is a five-port, four-way, two-position pneumatic valve in the VFM300 family that directs compressed air between the P, A, B and exhaust ports to control a pneumatic actuator. Port formats vary by sub-model, with common configurations offering 1/4 in port connections; examples include 1/4 in PT (VFM350-02-00) and 1/4 in Rc (VFM350-02-34R) variants. The VFM350 line supports a range of mechanical actuation options, from basic mechanical operation to manual controls such as roller and straight plungers, toggle levers, and push-button styles (mushroom, extended, flush, etc.), enabling mounting on panels or manifolds. Some configurations are internal‑pilot types; for instance, VFM350-N02-00 is a 5-port internal-pilot mechanical valve with a 4‑way, 2‑position arrangement and a Cv of 1, suitable for precise flow control in compact automation layouts. This valve is intended for directing air to cylinders, grippers, or other pneumatic devices in automation, packaging, and material-handling setups where robust, maintenance-friendly mechanical actuation is preferred over solenoid options. For exact dimensions, thread types, and actuator compatibility, refer to the specific VFM350 sub-model sheet or catalog page to match the desired port size, actuation method, and mounting style to your application.
