Product Overview
The SMC VFA5220-03 is a 5-port air operated valve from the SMC VFA series, designed for reliable directional control of compressed air and inert gas in industrial pneumatic systems. This valve utilizes an external pilot air signal to shift the internal spool, providing precise directional control of actuator motion without the need for electrical solenoids at the valve location. With a 5-port, 2-position configuration, the VFA5220-03 is engineered for compact installation, high cycle life, and consistent response in automated process and pneumatic control circuits.
