SMC solenoid valve VFA3130-01 made in Japan

The VFA3130-01 solenoid valve, manufactured by Japanese company SMC, is a very basic and commonly used two-position, three-way pilot-operated solenoid valve suitable for directional control in pneumatic systems.

Pilot-operated solenoid valves utilize the pressure of a medium (such as compressed air) to assist in the switching of the main valve core. This allows the valve to control a large flow rate with a small electromagnetic force, offering the advantages of low power consumption and compact size.

Below is a brief description of its related information and application scenarios.

Product Introduction

Product Features

1. Valve body made of aluminum alloy, seals made of nitrile rubber

2. IP65 protection rating, suitable for industrial environments

3. Operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa, flow characteristics meet ISO standards

4. Fast response, low drive force requirements, and low power consumption

5. Compact size for easy installation, especially in confined spaces

Application Scenarios

The SMC solenoid valve VFA3130-01 is primarily used to control single-acting cylinders or other applications requiring single-circuit on/off control. Its connection is compact (approximately M5), and its flow rate is relatively low.

The following are common industrial scenarios:

• Air Blowing Device: Controls the air blowing from the nozzle

• Vacuum Break: After the suction cup picks up a workpiece, positive air pressure is applied to release the workpiece

• Single-Acting Cylinder Control: This is a core application, such as clamping, lifting, and positioning
