VZM500 (VZM5) Series 5/2-Way Mechanical Valve | Medium Flow Elastic Seal Pneumatic Control Valve

Brand: SOLH by Richge Technology | SMC Compatible 5-Port Mechanical Actuated Pneumatic Valve

1. Product Overview

     The SOLH VZM5 (VZM500) series is a medium-sized 5/2-way mechanical control valve fully compatible with SMC standard. Adopting high-reliability elastic rubber seal structure, it features stable sealing, fast response and excellent medium flow performance with Cv value up to 0.6. Equipped with standard Rc1/8 port and complete optional actuator heads, it supports mechanical limit triggering, manual jog control and safety circuit interlock. With flexible foot mounting and manifold integrated installation, high-frequency durability and wide pressure adaptability, it serves as the standard mainstream model for dual-cylinder synchronization, pneumatic circuit switching and mechanical limit control in automated production lines.

3. Port Definition & Circuit Mode

  3.1 Standard 5/2-Way Mode (Dual Control / Mechanical Control)

     1(P) = Air supply port, 2(A) = Positive output port, 3(B) = Reverse output port, 4(EXH) = Exhaust port, 5(EXH) = Exhaust port. Realizes bidirectional switching and rapid exhaust of pneumatic actuators.

  3.2 Optional 5/3-Way Mode (Middle Position)

     Optional middle closed type and middle pressure relief type, precisely adapting to pneumatic positioning, pressure maintaining and precise stroke control requirements.

  3.3 Pilot Port Specification

     EXH pilot port adopts M5×0.8 thread. The external pilot version supports independent air source control, suitable for centralized pneumatic control and large-flow loop matching scenarios.
