Product Overview
The SMC VX230DG is a direct operated, 2-port solenoid valve engineered by SMC Corporation for precise on/off control of compatible process and pneumatic media. As a direct acting valve, the integrated solenoid armature directly drives the sealing element without relying on a minimum pilot pressure differential, allowing reliable operation from zero pressure up to the rated working pressure. This design makes the VX230DG particularly suited to applications requiring dependable shutoff, rapid response, and consistent performance in low-pressure or vacuum-adjacent circuits. Its compact body, corrosion-resistant construction, and standardized port configuration allow straightforward integration into industrial fluid and gas control panels, manifolds, and OEM equipment.
