SMC VX2130M Direct Operated 2-Port Solenoid Valve Vacuum 1/4 FNPT DC 24V

SMC VX2130M Direct Operated 2-Port Solenoid Valve Vacuum 1/4 FNPT DC 24V

The SMC VX2130M is a direct operated, 2-port (2-way) solenoid valve designed specifically for vacuum service. Made in Japan by SMC Corporation, this valve uses a solenoid coil to directly actuate the valve mechanism without requiring a minimum operating pressure differential — making it suitable for vacuum and low-pressure applications. The unit includes an integral mounting bracket and a lead wire with a DIN-style coil connector.

Applications

SMC VX series direct operated solenoid valves are used in vacuum handling, pneumatic automation, and process control systems where reliable on/off fluid switching is needed without dependence on line pressure to operate. The VX2130M is commonly found in semiconductor fabrication equipment, laboratory vacuum systems, analytical instruments, and general industrial automation where vacuum or low-pressure media must be controlled. SMC Corporation is a leading Japanese manufacturer of pneumatic and fluid control components, and the VX series is a well-established product line used across a broad range of light industrial and scientific applications. Direct-operated construction means the solenoid coil actuates the valve seat directly, so the valve opens and closes reliably across the full rated pressure range including full vacuum — unlike pilot-operated valves that require a minimum pressure drop to function.
