SMC VQC4101R-5 Vacuum Generator

SMC VQC4101R-5 is a 5-port base-mounted, plug-in valve from the VQC4000 family that provides two-position control for vacuum and pneumatic circuits in compact automation assemblies. The R suffix denotes a rubber-seal version, designed for reliable seating in vacuum service, and the unit is specified for supply pressures from 0.2 to 1 MPa with a base-mounted, single-side-ported configuration. With a life rating of up to 100 million cycles in SMC life tests, this valve is built for high-cycle reliability in repeated open/close operations within manufacturing environments. As part of the VQC4000 line, it combines a compact footprint with robust performance for integrating vacuum control into automated machines and lines that require tight, quick actuation and durable operation.
