SMC VNA201A-15 Pneumatic Solenoid Process Valve

SMC VNA201A-15A is a compact, two-port process valve that is air-operated and externally piloted, designed to control compressed air and air-hydro circuits in automated systems. The aluminum alloy body is sealed with Buna-N gaskets for durability in industrial environments, and the valve offers a flow coefficient of 4.8 Cv with a pressure range of 0 to 1 MPa, enabling precise, reliable actuation in space-constrained manifolds. Actuation is provided by an external pilot solenoid, allowing remote control from a PLC or controller while keeping the main valve compact and easy to mount. The -15A variant carries a 100 V coil, compatible with standard factory automation control circuits, and the 2-port configuration supports straightforward piping and integration into existing lines. Typical applications include pneumatic actuation in packaging and material-handling equipment, gripper and actuator control, and compact air-hydro circuit management in automated processes, where fast response and robust construction are essential. The VNA series is known for operating with differential pressure zero in suitable configurations, which can simplify system design and reduce load on the control supply, making the VNA201A-15A a pragmatic choice for reliable, space-efficient air-control in demanding industrial settings.
