SMC VQC5401-5 Two-Position Double Solenoid Valve

SMC VQC5401-5 is a five-port, two-position, dual-solenoid valve in the VQC family, designed to precisely direct compressed air in compact pneumatic circuits. With two coils, the valve shifts between two flow paths to control a single double-acting actuator or to switch between alternate circuits, without relying on a spring return. The 5-port configuration provides P, A, B, and two exhaust ports for efficient venting. This unit is intended for industrial automation and is compatible with standard compressed-air systems; coil voltage options vary by variant, and exact electrical and pressure specifications depend on the specific coil and mounting configuration—consult the official SMC datasheet for VQC5401-5 to confirm available voltages, connectors, and mounting style. Typical applications include cylinder actuation in automated assembly lines, pick-and-place systems, clamping, and material-handling setups where independent control of a pneumatic actuator is required.
