SMC VFR3240 Vacuum Flow Regulator Valve Assembly

SMC VFR3240 Vacuum Flow Regulator Valve Assembly is a five-port solenoid valve in the VFR3000 series, designed for vacuum handling applications where precise control of suction is required. The compact valve body combines a valve stage with a vacuum flow regulator function and is actuated by a DC24V coil. Variant VFR3240-5DZ-02 and related models use different electrical termination options, including lead wires or DIN-style terminals for flexible integration. Tube connections are available in common sizes such as G3/8 on select variants, enabling straightforward tubing in automated lines. In typical use on pick-and-place and packaging lines, this valve assembly manages vacuum flow to suction cups and manifolds, helping maintain holding force under varying load conditions. The VFR3240-5DZ family offers a compact, reliable option within the SMC VFR3000 series for applications requiring on/off control of vacuum with adjustable flow characteristics, and is compatible with standard SMC manifolds and sub-plates.
