Overview
The SMC SY5100-5UF1 is a 5-port, 2-position single solenoid pilot-operated valve from SMC’s redesigned SY5000 series. This 24 VDC valve is part of the SY5000 series and features pilot operation. The SY5000 series has improved product performance and reliability, with flow increased by up to 80% compared to predecessors while maintaining the same valve width, making it ideal for space-constrained pneumatic applications.
Key Features
- Flow increased by up to 80%, allowing valve size reduction
- Built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents foreign matter contamination
- H-NBR seal material improves ozone resistance
- Side, top, and bottom port/pipe directions available for flexible installation
- Available in body ported or base mounted styles, for individual or manifold mounting
- Quick 10 ms response time for precision pneumatic control
- Low power consumption (0.35 W standard)
Technical Specifications
Operating pressure range: (internal pilot) 0.1–0.7 MPa; (external pilot) −100 kPa to 0.7 MPa. Maximum operating pressure is 101 psi with a flow rate up to 1.0 Cv, capable of driving cylinders up to ø63 mm at 300 mm/s.
Typical Applications
- Cylinder and actuator control in pneumatic automation
- Process automation and fluid power systems
- Industrial machinery and tooling applications
- Manifold integration for multi-valve banks
- OEM equipment and retrofit installations
