At SMC we are continuously investing in research and development to refine and improve the performance and functionality of our products as well as develop new innovations to drive energy savings and deliver competitive advantages for our customers. The relaunch of the popular VDW series, compact direct operated 2 port solenoid valve, is a good representation of that. VDW´s main feature is its IP65 enclosure, which protects the valve against dust and water sprayed from all directions. Also, with the size one conventional model being 10% smaller and more lightweight, the VDW can be used in narrow spaces, making it extremely flexible. The VDW uses less power, from as little as 2.5W up to 3W in the larger model and apparent power of 2.5VA and 3VA, when compared to similar products. This makes it ideal for dental units, water curtain manufacture and lens polishing processes that use air, medium vacuum and water applications that don't require a large flow. It is also significantly quieter thanks to a new rubber damper. It is also significantly quieter thanks to a new rubber damper. Available in a wide range of body materials with two new additions, Aluminium and PPS resin, combined with the existing options of Brass C37 and Stainless Steel, the VDW also has two seal material options of NBR and FKM.
If you need a compact, lightweight, direct operated 2 port solenoid valve for use with water or air we now have the perfect solution following the launch of our new Series VDW 30/40-XF range. Developed for a wide range of industrial applications these multipurpose solenoid valves, with their PPS resin body construction, are around 50% lighter than our existing VDW range. With single valve volumes of 30 x 48 x 50mm and 36 x 56 x 56mm respectively, these valves are particularly suitable for use in dispenser and automatic tap applications and fuel cell cogeneration systems. Available with an optional power saving circuit, which reduces the standard valve's energy consumption from 3w to 0.5w, further selections include the choice of 45º or 90º right or left-hand side electrical entry and either quick fastener or one-touch body piping, thereby ensuring simple and efficient valve installation.
The VN series is a combination of process valves that can be operated with pressure differential zero and comes with many variations. The VNA series is used for controlling pneumatic systems or air-hydro circuits. The VNB series controls various fluids. VNC is used for controlling the cutting oils and coolants used in machine tools. VNH is for controlling high pressure cutting oils and coolants used in machine tools, and the VND series is for steam control.
Industrial applications requiring a 2 port solenoid valve now have an enhanced option following the release of our new, improved VX2 Valve Series. Developed as a part of our on-going product improvement programme, the new Series VX2, which is suitable for air, medium vacuum, water or oil, now offers considerable performance advantages when compared to our previous VX21 solenoid valve model. With its modern urban white outer appearance, Series VX2 is around 10% smaller and 30% lighter compared to our old Series VX21 valve due in part to its resin and aluminium body construction, yet it still delivers around 20% increased flow rate performance. Incorporating a rubber bumper to reduce valve noise during operation and featuring one touch fitting for speed of installation, Series VX2 offers improved durability and reduced apparent power – up to 20VA.
Our updated pilot operated 2 port solenoid valve, VXD Series, is 7% smaller than former conventional models, whilst still delivering big benefits to customers. The renewed VXD Series supports our commitment to developing new innovations to drive energy savings for customers; it's not only more compact, but uses less power. Ideal for air, water, oil, heated water and high temperature oil applications, ranging from car wash centres to oil lines in process industries, the VXD Series is available in a wide range of body materials – aluminium, resin, brass and stainless steel – and offers low concentration ozone resistant and oil free options. Labour savings can also be enjoyed, as the air version with resin body offers a built-in one-touch fitting option. Other features include a rubber buffer that reduces the valve's operating noise levels and thanks to a special construction, its life-span has been extended. It also has an improved OFF response when operated with high viscosity fluids such as oil.
At SMC we are proud to unveil our upgraded multi-purpose VXZ series 2 port solenoid valve. Pilot operated, the VXZ has zero differential pressure so it can handle both low pressure fluids and low vacuum and because it doesn't rely on compressed air to operate, it's simple to install. Up to 27% lighter and 4% smaller than conventional models, the VXZ is ideal for lightweight machines and narrow spaces. And a rubber buffer means the series is suitable for quiet environments, with an extended service life guarantee thanks to its improved construction, which is all part of our commitment to refine the performance and functionality of our products and drive competitive advantages for our customers. Available in low concentration ozone resistant and oil free options, the VXZ series comes in a wide range of body materials, with piping thread variations ¼" to 1" and one-touch fitting from Ø10 to Ø12. Together with normally closed or normally open valve types and an improved OFF response, the VXZ is ideal for handling air, water, oil, heated water and high temperature oil for cooling systems, segmentation of pneumatic lines and exhaust valve in vacuum lines.
