Series S070 is a super compact direct acting 2/3 port solenoid valve that meets the miniaturization needs of analyzers, medical equipment and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. S070 is extremely lightweight (5g for valve single unit type) and operation noise is 38dB(A) or less. It is easy to increase or decrease the number of stations (stacking base). Valve width is 7mm.

The VV061 series is a direct operated 3-way solenoid valve designed for 4 and 8 station units with integrated compact manifold, valve, circuit board, base and fittings forming a single compact unit.  VV061 series model has an optional power saving circuit that can be used for long-term continuous duty.  This unit is available with one-touch or barb fitting and an optional connector cable with lengths of 300, 600, or 1000mm.

Customers looking for a compact, light-weight, high flow valve for piloting process valves or actuator applications, need search no longer.  SMC's series V100 is one of the most advanced solenoid valves in today’s market.  The standard V100 uses only 0.35w, which is 76% less than comparable valves.  The low power model uses only 0.1w, reflecting dramatic savings of up to 93% compared to existing products.  Weighing in at a mere 12g, with flow rates between 8.4 and 24 l/minute, it’s the perfect solution when space, performance, and component weight is critical.

PVQ series, compact proportional solenoid valve, was designed by SMC with a direct poppet construction.  This construction enables low leakage, while de-energized.  PVQ series has been used in applications such as air blow, flow control, hand piece control for dental unit and other respiratory equipment, as well as, cooling for laser machinery etc.

SMC has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve.  The SY3000 and SY5000 have the same valve width as their predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing the valve size to be reduced. A built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter. By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.   Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.  The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles, and can be used individually or manifold mounted.

JSY series is a 5-port directional control valve targeted for the robotic arms and end of arm tools.  It has compact and lightweight design while improving its flow characteristics.  JSY series is available as plug-in and non plug-in types.  There are 3 valve body sizes available for JSY series, JSY1000 (6.4mm), JSY3000 (10mm) and JSY5000 (15mm).  JSY1000 is the world's smallest width 5 port valve with body width of 6.4mm.  JSY plug-in type is compatible with fieldbus and ethernet communication module such as EX600 and EX260.

The CQ2 compact cylinder is the world's best selling pneumatic cylinder and is supported globally. The CQ2 is available in 15 bore sizes from 12mm to 200mm. It comes standard with male or female piston rod threads. 42 standard options make it one of the most versatile cylinder series on the market. For mounting flexibility, it is possible to mount auto switches on any of the 4 surfaces.

SMC's CG5-S series is a stainless steel cylinder, perfect for use in wash down applications such as food processing machinery requiring intense cleaning.  The use of non-toxic additives allows confident use in equipment for foods, beverages and medical products, etc.  The CG5-S can be disassembled, allowing replacement of seals, which promotes an extended service life.  SMC provides plugs for unused mounting threads to prevent residue build-up in the threads.  The use of stainless steel (SUS304) on external metal parts provides improved corrosion resistance in environments with exposure to water. 

Series CJ5-S is a small bore stainless steel cylinder, designed for use in environments with water spray (such as food processing machines). A special scraper (standard) prevents water from entering the cylinder. Non-toxic additives allow confident use in equipment for food, beverage and medical products, etc. The CJ5-S series can be disassembled for replacement of seals. 

Production and packaging applications involving food and beverages often need specialized equipment to meet the strict hygiene standards required in these industry sectors.  SMC, the world leader in pneumatic technology, has developed the HY series to meet these requirements.  All the models in the HY series are particularly suitable for application in the "non-food" or "splash" zones of a production line.  Their high quality construction and optional food grease ensure an increased service life.  The HYB series has a round body profile and is available with a rail mounted auto switch, which is fully adjustable along the stroke length, providing improved cleaning benefits.

The HYG integrates an aluminum hygienic body with guide rods that are completely recessed in the body and protected by grease retention rod scrapers for unprecedented water resistance during wash down processes. The HYG has eliminated switch grooves in favor of rail mounted auto-switches to prevent water pools. Plug bolts are required to plug unused ports and mounting holes to assure water resistance; air purge ports for the guide rods remain unplugged. NSF-H1 food grade grease option is available.

The EX600 serial interface offers a full suite of diagnostics and programmable parameters to meet the most stringent requirements. The EX600 offers excellent flexibility including digital input, digital output and analog input unit options. With the use of D-sub output blocks, a maximum of 9 remote D-sub manifolds can be attached to one EX600 communication module. This serial interface is compatible with series SV1000/2000/3000, VQC1000/2000/4000, S0700 and the new SY series valves. Available protocols include  Ethernet/IP™, PROFINET.

The advantage of a fieldbus system is the amount of flexibility and control it gives you in addition to the significant labor savings. SMC's latest innovations in fieldbus technology give you the power of  decentralized communication and the flexibility needed for your control design. SMC supports wide variety of open fieldbus protocols to suit your networking needs including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT,  DeviceNet, Profibus DP and many more.
