SMC VFS2100-5FZC-02 Vacuum Filter System Module

SMC VFS2100-5FZC-02 Vacuum Filter System Module is a compact, five‑port vacuum control unit that integrates a vacuum filter, regulator valve, and pressure switch into a plug‑in, pilot‑operated package. Part of the VFS2000 family, it provides clean, regulated vacuum for reliable clamping, pick‑and‑place, and part handling on automated lines. The module houses a 2‑position single solenoid valve with a 24 V DC coil, and variants with surge/suppressor options are available to protect control electronics. Its built‑in filter protects downstream vacuum devices from contaminants, while the regulator maintains a stable vacuum level and the pressure switch enables feedback for process control or safety interlocks. With Rc porting options (typical configurations support Rc 1/8 and Rc 1/4), the VFS2100‑5FZC‑02 can be integrated with standard vacuum piping and manifolds. This module is designed for OEMs and automation integrators seeking a ready‑to‑use vacuum management solution that reduces assembly time and simplifies wiring by combining filtration, regulation, and sensing in a single footprint. Applications include vacuum clamping in machining centers, lightweight part handling, and other short‑cycle automation tasks that require consistent, dependable vacuum.
