SMC 2 / 3 port solenoid valves take
extra pressure
Process industry and PET machine builder requests for both 2 and 3 port, pilot operated solenoid valves, with high pressure performance, are now answered with the launch of the SMC Series VCH range
Process industry and PET machine builder requests for both 2 and 3 port, pilot operated solenoid valves, with high pressure performance, are now answered with the launch of the SMC Series VCH range Designed for use with air or inert gas, these new valves can operate up to a maximum pressure of 5.0 MPa thereby substantially exceeding the existing SMC VXH high pressure series

New 'Hot' fittings from SMC, for high temperatures
Machine builders requiring high temperature or corrosion resistant insert fittings for applications involving air, water or steam now have the hottest solution around, the Series KFG from SMC
With large flow passages, and ISO1179-1 conforming port thread sizes of G1/2 to G1, high flow rates are ensured - and due to a reduction in the overall volume of the pilot chamber their responsiveness can now only be measured in milliseconds.
Additionally, the VCH range offers enclosure protection equivalent to IP65 and a DIN type electrical connector as standard.
With a unique collision-less armature construction, with rubber buffers and urethane diaphragm, early indications have confirmed that the valves operation life time will exceed 10 million cycles.
Currently the VCH Series is available in four different valve configurations; 2 port valve normally closed - VCH41, 2 port valve normally open - VCH 42, the 3 port option - VCH410, plus a check valve - VCHC40.
