SMC Corporation VFS2400-5FZ Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VFS2400-5FZ is a 5-port, pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve in the VFS2000 family, designed to precisely route compressed air in compact automation circuits. It features metal seals and a plug-in configuration for straightforward integration, and it is a 3-position exhaust-center valve that shifts pressure from the P port to A or B while venting the opposite path through the center exhaust ports. The coil is a 24 V DC solenoid, and the valve supports Rc connections in the P, A, B, R1, and R2 ports at Rc 1/8 or Rc 1/4, with operating pressure up to about 145 psi (1 MPa). In practical terms, this enables reliable actuation of double-acting cylinders and efficient directional control in machines where space is at a premium, such as packaging, material handling, and general automation lines. Built to the VFS2000 design, the VFS2400-5FZ emphasizes compact packaging and metal-seal robustness, making it a solid choice for installations requiring plug-in mounting and quick service without a separate sub-base.
