SMC VM151-N01-35BA Pneumatic Valve With Mechanical Switch

SMC VM151-N01-35BA is a VM100-series, five-port, three-position mechanical valve designed for compact pneumatic control. The N01 designation indicates a side-port body, and the 35BA suffix denotes a black, three-position twist actuator. The valve uses 1/8 in NPT ports and provides P (pressure) input with two work ports A and B plus two exhaust ports EA and EB, enabling manual routing of compressed air to dual circuits. It operates across a pressure range of -100 kPa to 1.0 MPa, making it suitable for common industrial pneumatic systems. The three-position twist actuator offers a center-off position in addition to the two active positions, allowing simple mechanical actuation without electrical control. Typical applications include manual control of pneumatic cylinders or other actuators in compact automation panels, test rigs, or downstream pneumatic circuits where space is limited and wiring is minimized.
