Air Valves

PVQ series, compact proportional solenoid valve, was desgined by SMC with a direct poppet construction.  This construction enables low leakage, while de-energized.  PVQ series has been used in applications such as air blow, flow control, hand piece control for dental unit and other respiratory equipment, as well as, cooling for laser machinery etc.

Series S070 is a super compact direct acting 2/3 port solenoid valve that meets the miniaturisation needs of analysers, medical equipment and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. S070 is extremely lightweight (5g for valve single unit type) and operation noise is 38dB(A) or less. It is easy to increase or decrease the number of stations (stacking base). Valve width is 7mm.

Customers looking for a compact, light - weight, high flow valve for piloting process valves or actuator applications, need search no longer. Following extensive research and development, world leaders SMC Pneumatics have launched their latest Series V100 - one of the most advanced solenoid valves in today's market. Designed with a revolutionary magnetic circuit and exterior cover, the V100´s machine free and environmentally friendly construction allows the coil to increase its force by 160%.In addition, energy savings are generated from the valve's progressive low power consumption. The Standard V100 uses only 0.35 w which is 76% less than comparable valves and the Low Power model uses only 0.1 w, reflecting; dramatic savings of up to 93% compared to existing products. Available in 3, 5, 6, 12 and 24 VDC options, Series V100 has a valve pitch of just 10mm and an overall height and length of 24.7mm and 27mm respectively and is probably one of the smallest pneumatic valves currently available. Weighing in at a mere 12 g and with flow rates of between 8.4; and 24 l/minute, it's the perfect solution when space, performance and component weight is critical.

The VV061 series is a direct operated 3-way solenoid valve designed for 4 and 8 station units with integrated compact manifold, valve, circuit board, base and fittings forming a single compact unit.  VV061 series model has an optional power saving circuit that can be used for long-term continuous duty.  This unit is available with one-touch or barb fitting and an optional connector cable with lengths of 300, 600, or 1000mm.

Following Electronic and Semiconductor Industry requests for a compact manifold unit with integral 3-port solenoid valves, we are pleased to launch our new Series VV100 Integrated Manifold Unit. Designed with space-saving and ease-of-use in mind, our R&D engineers have cleverly integrated two single 3-port solenoid valves into each valve station thereby reducing the unit's overall dimension. By adopting this unique feature, VV100 manifold units can now be built up to 146.4mm in length by simply changing the length of the manifold's tie rod and by adding or removing the number of plug-in (D-sub connector) or hard wired valve stations. Energy saving has also been considered as individual valves can be ordered with a power saving circuit, reducing the energy consumption from 0.4W as standard; to only 0.15W when using the continuous duty model. And as each valve can be manually turned off, safe maintenance is guaranteed. Series VV100 is suitable for both direct or bracket mounting and can also accommodate various piping sizes including our miniature 2mm one-touch fittings.
