It combines a compact die-cast aluminum body with a plug-in electrical interface and a 24 VDC coil to deliver robust, repeatable control of multiple pneumatic circuits in a small-form-factor manifold. As an open-center 5\/3 valve, it allocates P, A, B and the two exhaust ports EA and EB to manage downstream actuators in a clean, space-efficient package. Key specifications include a operating pressure range from 0.2 to 1 MPa and a nominal flow rate of 2 Cv, enabling reliable actuation of cylinders and smooth switching between ports with fast response to control signals. The five-port configuration supports versatile circuit layouts, such as dual-actuator control or synchronized forward\/reverse motion, while the aluminum body provides rigidity and lightweight construction suited for industrial environments. Typically employed in factory automation, packaging lines, and automated assembly setups, the VQC4401-5 offers durable performance in continuous operation where compact, plug-in valves are desirable for quick installation and straightforward maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":46260351533290,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-015.png?v=1788727428","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/smc-vqc4401-5-industrial-pneumatic-solenoid-valve-for-automation-equipment","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
