SMC VQZ2150-3L 3/2 Way Solenoid Pneumatic Valve

SMC VQZ2150-3L is a compact base-mounted, 3-port, 2-position solenoid valve in the VQZ family, designed to direct compressed air between the pressure line and actuator ports in small pneumatic circuits. It comes in metal-seal and rubber-seal configurations, with options both with and without a flow restrictor, enabling fast, repeatable actuation for cylinders and similar devices. In metal-seal form without a restrictor, the unit weighs about 40 g and delivers a response time of 16 ms or less; rubber-seal variants without restrictor run around 20 ms, with rubber-seal versions including a restrictor weighing about 58 g and offering similar response times. The valve supports a supply pressure range of 0.1 to 0.7 MPa, with high‑pressure variants up to 1.0 MPa in some configurations, and is compatible with clean air or inert gases. Electrical options cover common controls, including 12 VDC and 24 VDC coils, as well as alternating current options (100/110 VAC or 200/220 VAC) depending on the specific configuration. This base-mounted, pilot-operated valve is well suited for automation tasks such as cylinder actuation, clamping, or indexing in compact machinery and handling lines, delivering precise directional control with documented flow characteristics and fast switching essential for reliable pneumatic systems.
