It is a compact mechanical switch-type valve that responds to physical contact or movement to open or close air passages in automation equipment. Commonly installed in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and OEM pneumatic control assemblies. Maintenance teams, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators use this part for replacement of worn mechanical valves, retrofit of pneumatic control logic, and restoration of air-actuated switching functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5ms9th\" data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"676\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eThe SMC VM13-01 is used in pneumatic automation systems to mechanically trigger airflow changes in response to machine movement or actuator contact. It is commonly applied in industrial assembly machines, conveyor systems, safety interlocks, and packaging equipment where air signal switching is required without electrical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"5hg6bl\" data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1043\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1676\"\u003e• Manufacturer: SMC Corporation\u003cbr data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003e• Model \/ Part number: VM13-01\u003cbr data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003e• Product type: Mechanical air valve\u003cbr data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003e• Valve type: 3\/2-way mechanical poppet valve\u003cbr data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e• Actuation type: Mechanical plunger\/lever actuation\u003cbr data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003e• Operating medium: Compressed air\u003cbr data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1290\"\u003e• Operating pressure: Vacuum to ~0.7 MPa (typical VM series range)\u003cbr data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003e• Flow type: Direct acting air switching valve\u003cbr data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1408\"\u003e• Body material: Aluminum alloy housing with elastomer seals\u003cbr data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1471\"\u003e• Mounting: Panel or bracket-mounted industrial valve body\u003cbr data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e• Function: Pneumatic signal switching via mechanical contact\u003cbr data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1596\"\u003e• Application environment: Industrial automation and pneumatic control systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1cz0398\" data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003eCommon Replacements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1877\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• SMC\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/vivicom-vm100-circuit-board-plc-248-2?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=46b3ec565\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e VM100 \u003c\/a\u003eseries mechanical valve (size\/function equivalent)\u003cbr data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003e• Festo VME\/VHE series mechanical pneumatic valve\u003cbr data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003e• Parker PHS series mechanical air-actuated control valve\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLG Automation ","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51714368078126,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_cd7d9428-b24a-4227-a32e-ef18ded6ae61.jpg?v=1770424308","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/smc-vm13-01-air-mechanical-valve","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
