SMC VFS3101-5FZ Pneumatic Solenoid Valve 3/2 Way

SMC VFS3101-5FZ is a 5-port pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve from SMC's VFS family, engineered for compact base-mounted installation on manifolds. With an aluminum body and metal seals, it delivers robust, durable control in automated pneumatic circuits. The coil operates in a DC range of 21–26 V (typical 24 V), enabling fast, reliable actuation of the pilot mechanism that routes compressed air between the P inlet and the two working ports while venting through the two exhaust ports. It is rated for a maximum pressure of 1 MPa, making it suitable for most standard factory air systems. The 5-port configuration provides P, A, B, R1, and R2 ports, supporting compact circuitry and straightforward integration with standard manifolds or body-port configurations. Applications include powering small cylinders and actuators in tight spaces—clamps, grippers, pick-and-place fixtures, and automated tooling where space is limited. As part of the VFS series, the VFS3101-5FZ is offered in base-mounted and body-port variants to fit common pneumatic manifold layouts, simplifying installation in both new equipment and retrofits.
