Overview
The SMC VV5Q21-08-DAN00043 is a high-capacity, 8-station plug-in manifold designed for industrial pneumatic control systems. This manifold integrates modular solenoid valve cartridges (VQ2101N-51, VQ2201N-51, VQ2301N-51) and operates as part of the VVQ2000 base-mounted manifold series. The design supports rapid valve replacement and minimizes system downtime through innovative mounting methods and built-in one-touch fittings that reduce piping labor.
Key Features
- 8-Station Configuration: Supports up to eight independent solenoid valve cartridges for multi-axis pneumatic control
- Modular Design: Valve cartridges can be changed without complete manifold disassembly, enabling quick field maintenance
- One-Touch Fittings: Integrated quick-disconnect connectors reduce installation time and system complexity
- Plug-In Architecture: Cartridge-style valves plug directly into the manifold base, improving accessibility and serviceability
- High-Speed Response: VQ solenoid valves deliver stable response times ideal for frequent on/off operations
- Long Service Life: Precision-engineered construction supports extended operation in industrial automation environments
