Overview
The SMC NZM131HT-K5LZ is a high-pressure vacuum generator designed for compact pneumatic applications requiring controlled vacuum generation. This single-stage vacuum ejector features a 1.3mm nozzle diameter and integrates supply and release valves with a 24VDC solenoid interface, making it ideal for pick-and-place, material handling, and automated assembly systems. The unit includes a standard silencer for noise reduction and arrives with integral electronics and surge suppression.
