Overview
The SMC VM250-N02-35BA mechanical valve is a precision-engineered pneumatic control valve from SMC’s VM series. The VM series is a mechanical, poppet valve designed for compact pneumatic automation applications. Their compact size requires little mounting space. The VM series offers a wide variety of actuator styles and flow capacity up to 1.0 Cv. This valve is built to deliver reliable control in industrial and laboratory pneumatic systems.
Key Features
- Large flow capacity — up to 1.0 Cv for efficient pneumatic distribution
- Mounting method can be selected (side mounting, bottom mounting using screws, or mounting with special bracket)
- 3 Position Twist Selector for manual control and switching
- Mechanical actuation — no solenoid or electrical components required
- Durable poppet valve construction for reliable service life
Technical Specifications
The SMC VM250-N02-35BA meets stringent pneumatic control standards and operates reliably across industrial environments.
Typical Applications
The SMC VM250-N02-35BA is widely used in:
- Pneumatic automation and control systems
- Compressed air distribution networks
- Laboratory and test equipment
- Compact pneumatic circuits where space is limited
- Manual pneumatic valve switching and directional control
