SMC Corporation VS7-8-FG-S-1N Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VS7-8-FG-S-1N is a piloted solenoid valve from the VS7 family, configured as a four-/five-port two-position pneumatic valve designed for ISO 2 mounting patterns. In this design, a solenoid actuates a pilot valve that shifts the main spool, directing compressed air between the P, A, B, R1, and R2 ports to control single-acting or double-acting actuators with repeatable, rapid cycling. This configuration supports compact, modular valve assemblies common in automation lines, packaging equipment, and robotics, where space is at a premium and easy integration with standard manifolds and subbase blocks is desirable. The S variant in the FG family denotes a specific coil configuration within the VS7 line, aligning with the footprint and electrical interface used across the VS7 portfolio to simplify stocking and replacement. Typical applications include cylinder actuation for linear motion, gripper control, and other pneumatic directional control tasks in industrial settings. For technicians selecting a valve, the VS7-8-FG-S-1N provides the reliable, proven performance of SMC’s VS7 series in a compact 4/5-port package that fits ISO 2 standards and supports standard VS7 accessories across an automation cell.
