SMC VQ5101-51 Solenoid Valve 5 Port 2 Position 0.2-1 MPa 24VDC Coil

SMC VQ5101-51 is a five-port, two-position solenoid valve designed for pneumatic control in automation and machinery. It operates with a 24 V DC coil and switches airflow between two states in response to electrical signals, enabling precise control of actuators. The valve is rated for inlet pressures from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, suitable for standard compressed-air circuits. Its 5-port configuration includes P (supply), A and B (actuator ports), and R1/R2 exhaust ports, which allow flexible routing of air to and from cylinders or other pneumatic devices. This model is part of SMC's VQ5101 family, known for compact form factor and robust operation in space-constrained panels and manifolds. Typical applications include directing air to linear actuators, clamps, grippers, and other automation components where quick, reliable on/off control of compressed air is required. The 24 V DC coil supports straightforward electronic control from common PLCs and control boards, enabling reliable integration into existing control architectures.
