SMC VX230GGB Solenoid Valve 2 Way Pneumatic Air

SMC VX230GGB is a direct-operated, two-port solenoid valve for compressed air, designed to provide dependable on/off control in compact pneumatic circuits. It features a 1/2 in nominal port size with NPT end style and an aluminum body for lightweight durability in industrial environments. The valve operates at 0.1 to 1 MPa (14.5 to 145 psi) and offers a flow coefficient (Cv) of 2.21, enabling adequate air throughput at typical pressures. Supplied with a 24 VDC coil, the VX230GGB is part of SMC's VX23 family of 2-port valves, commonly used to switch a single pneumatic line or cylinder in automation equipment. Typical applications include actuating small pneumatic cylinders, diverting or isolating air supply in packaging lines, gripping or clamping tools, and other general-purpose air control in machine automation. The device's aluminum body supports durability while keeping weight manageable, and the 1/2" NPT end connections align with standard piping components. Ensure operation within the specified pressure range and use clean, dry compressed air to meet performance expectations. This configuration provides reliable, compact control for pneumatic circuits where space is at a premium and quick actuation is required.
