SMC Corporation of America VFA5220-02N Air Pilot Valve

SMC VFA5220-02N is a compact air-operated valve from the VFA5000 family designed for direct-mounted, pilot-operated control of pneumatic circuits. This 2-position, double-acting valve is activated by an air pilot signal and provides reliable directional control for cylinders and actuators in automation setups. The baseline configuration uses 1/4" NPT ports, while the VFA5220-02N-P variant offers 3/8" NPT ports for higher flow applications, and the valve is configured as a 5-port, body-ported design with an upward pilot port for straightforward installation in compact layouts. Typical uses include actuating cylinders in machine automation, clamping and transfer lines, or feeder systems where precise air control and quick cycle times are required. The VFA family is built for compatibility with standard SMC pilot lines and durable performance in industrial environments, enabling reliable, maintenance-friendly operation in demanding production environments.
