SMC VQC4101-5 Solenoid Valve

The SMC VQC4101-5 is a 5-port, 2-position base-mounted solenoid valve from the VQC4000 family, designed for compact, plug‑in pneumatic control. It is a base-mounted, single-side ported unit with a light/surge voltage suppressor, intended to direct compressed air in automated systems. Operating from 0.25 to 1.0 MPa (min 0.25 MPa, max 1.0 MPa) with a flow coefficient Cv of 2.0, it features a robust aluminum spool valve body and lubrication‑free operation. A push‑type manual override provides local actuation, and the enclosure is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress. The unit is specified for temperatures from -10°C to +50°C and has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing environments. Common applications include controlling pneumatic cylinders and actuators in packaging lines, automation cells, general machine tooling, and material-handling equipment.
