The new SMC Series VCH range offers process industry and PET machine builders both 2 and 3 port, pilot operated solenoid valves, with high pressure performance. Designed for use with air or inert gas, these new valves can operate up to a maximum pressure of 5.0Mpa. The VCH range has large flow passages, and ISO1179-1 conforming port thread sizes of G1/2 to G1. Additionally, the VCH range offers enclosure protection equivalent to IP65 and a DIN type electrical connector as standard. With a collision-less armature construction, with rubber buffers and urethane diaphragm, early indications have confirmed that the valves operation life time will exceed 10 million cycles. Currently the VCH Series is available in four different valve configurations; 2 port valve normally closed – VCH41, 2 port valve normally open – VCH 42, the 3 port option – VCH410, plus a check valve – VCHC40.
