SMC valves, including air, oil and water solenoid valves, are essential components used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems for controlling the flow of respective mediums. These valves consist of a solenoid coil, which, when energised, generates a magnetic field to actuate a plunger or pilot valve, allowing or blocking the flow of fluid through the valve. SMC Valves are durable, reliable and efficient, with options available for various pressure and flow requirements. They are suitable in manufacturing, automotive and pharmaceutical applications where precise fluid control is necessary for operation. Read Less

SMC ValvesVZ300 Series solenoid valves offer a range of 4 and 5 ports with rubber seals, providing versatility for various applications. They feature base-mounted and DIN rail-mounted plug-ins, offering flexibility in installation and integration. They have an operating pressure range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa, suitable for a wide range of pressure requirements in pneumatic systems. They are designed for non-lube operation, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring efficient performance.
Working Mechanism
SMC solenoid valves operate by using an electromagnetic coil to control the movement of a plunger or pilot valve within the valve body.
When electrical current is applied to the coil, it generates a magnetic field, causing the plunger to move, either opening or closing the valve.
This movement regulates the flow of air, oil or water through the valve, depending on the application.
