Available for port sizes ranging from 1/4 to 1 inch. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 1.9 to 10.2.

VQ valves are ideal for applications requiring high speed, frequent operation, stable response time and long service life. Innovative mounting methods allow valves to be changed without entirely disassembling the manifold. Built-in one-touch fittings save piping time and labor.

Available in four bore size options, series CJP2 includes a tiny, but powerful, 4mm bore size option making it the smallest double acting pin cylinder around. 6, 10 and 16mm bore sizes complete the range, all featuring extruded aluminium bodies, making them not only compact, but extremely light weight. Series CJP2 is auto switch capable and other options include rubber bumper cushions, and made to order models including both heat and cold resistant types. Mounting possibilities include basic/panel, flange, foot, clevis and trunnion options.

CP96, profile tube design ISO cylinder with enclosed tie rods, is available in 6 bore sizes from 32 to 125mm. The series is available with a single or double rod in 6 bore sizes from 32 to 125mm. The air cushion and bumper cushion combination greatly reduces noise at the end of stroke. High accuracy covers and tie rod nuts improve mounting accuracy and extend the cylinder life. Increasing the precision of the bushing and piston rod, as well as reducing tolerances, has decreased the deflection of the piston rod. Standard strokes range from 25 to 800mm.

Power valve series VEX includes a regulator valve (VEX1*0), precision regulator (VEX1*3), 3 position valve (VEX3) and a economy valve (VEX5). The 3 port large capacity poppet exhausting regulator is equipped with a relief port the same size as the connection port. The 3-port, 3-position double solenoid that permits vacuum suction, vacuum destruction, suspension (closed) is ideal for a system where many valves are used.

LVM20/200 is a compact direct operated 2/3 port solenoid valve for chemicals. LVM s unique internal chamber design reduces the swept volume to a minimum and can mean zero dead volume and carry over. Operating pressure ranges from -75 kPa to 0.30 MPa. LVM20/200 is available as body ported, direct tube connection or base mounted. Maximum flow up to Cv of 0.065

The VX2 for air is available with resin and aluminum body. Resin body is offered with one touch fitting to reduce installation time. Three body sizes are available, with port size ranges from 1/8 to 1/2 inch (6 to 12mm with resin body). NBR seal is used as standard and FKM or EPDM is optional. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 0.23 to 2.21.

LVM10/100 is a compact direct operated 2/3 port solenoid valve for chemicals. LVM s unique internal chamber design reduces the swept volume to a minimum and can mean zero dead volume and carry over. Operating pressure ranges from -75 kPa to 0.25 MPa. LVM10/100 is available as body ported, direct tube connection or base mounted.

Direct air operated, 2 port valve series VXA can be used with a wide variety of fluids. Two body materials are offered: brass (C37) and stainless steel. Pilot port size is 1/8 inch. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 0.38 to 2.8.

The VXZ series for water is a 2 port, pilot operated solenoid valve capable of operating at higher differential pressures by maintaining a zero differential pressure on the seat. The molded coil offers low power consumption, long life and high reliability. Standard NBR seal and optional FKM seal for use with deionized water. Available for port sizes ranging from 1/4 to 1 inch. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 1.9 to 10.2.

The CQU series was designed to be a lightweight, compact plate type cylinder. The series is available in bore sizes 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 40mm. Auto switches can be mounted without removing mounting brackets. It is possible to mount a small auto switch in 4 directions. CQU mountings include through hole/double end tapped (standard), a vertical foot bracket, horizontal foot bracket, and double clevis.

Series VF, a five port pilot solenoid valve, offers large flow capacity in a compact size. The VF is available in many variations including three types of manual override and four types of electrical entry. Common exhaust for main valve and pilot valve is also available.

The VX2 for water is available with brass and stainless steel body. Three body sizes are available, with port size ranges from 1/8 to 1/2 inch. NBR seal is used as standard and FKM or EPDM is optional. Flow rate ranges from Cv of 0.23 to 2.21.

The SMC C(D)Q2-Z Compact Cylinder is designed for applications requiring a space-saving solution without compromising performance. This double acting, single rod cylinder is available in bore sizes ranging from 12 mm to 100 mm, making it versatile for various industrial applications. The compact body design allows for easy integration into tight spaces, and the ability to mount small auto switches on multiple surfaces enhances its functionality.With a weight reduction of 5 to 13% compared to the existing CQ2 series, the C(D)Q2-Z series offers a lighter and more efficient option. The cylinder features pivot brackets for double clevis and compact type foot brackets, and part numbers with rod end brackets and/or mounting bolts are available, eliminating the need for separate orders.
