Description
The SMC VQ5151-5G1 is a high-performance 5-port (3-position) solenoid valve from the VQ5000 series, designed for precise pneumatic actuator control in industrial automation. This 5-port, 3-position closed-center valve features a G1/8″ port size, single solenoid with spring return (or double solenoid depending on exact sub-suffix), and is optimized for fast response, long service life, and compact manifold mounting. It is widely used in assembly lines, packaging machinery, and robotic end-effectors.
Key Features
- Valve Type: 5-port, 3-position (center closed/exhaust/pressurized — depends on sub-model)
- Port Size: G1/8″ (BSP Parallel)
- Actuation: Single Solenoid (with spring return) or Double Solenoid — standard VQ5151 base model is often double solenoid; “-5G1” typically denotes G1/8 port, 24V DC or 110V AC coil (specify at ordering)
- Flow Rate (Cv): Approx. 0.6–0.9 (depends on orifice)
- Response Time: ≤ 10 ms (no load)
- Manual Override: Lock-down type (push/turn)
- Mounting: Manifold or individual base mount
- Body Material: Die-cast aluminum / engineering plastic
- Country of Origin: Japan / China (SMC Global)
