SMC Corporation VQ4201-5 Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VQ4201-5 is a base-mounted, five-port, two-position pneumatic solenoid valve from the VQ4000 family, designed for compact valve blocks in automation systems. It uses dual solenoids to shift the internal valve spool, enabling controlled distribution of compressed air to pneumatic actuators such as cylinders and grippers in manufacturing cells. The valve supports input pressures from 0.15 MPa to 1 MPa, accommodating standard plant air supplies while maintaining reliable operation across typical industrial environments. This model is available in variants, including the VQ4201-5W1-Q configuration, which specifies a 24 V DC coil version, illustrating the range of coil options offered by SMC. Ideal for base mounting in manifolds or compact control panels, the VQ4201-5 integrates with SMC’s broader ecosystem of pneumatic components, providing a consistent interface for valve actuation in automation lines. By selecting a 5-port, 2-position SMC valve in the VQ4000 family, engineers can simplify circuit design and component compatibility across SMC’s product lineup.
