Product Overview
The SMC VY1300-104 is a precision electro-pneumatic proportional valve engineered by SMC Corporation, a global leader in pneumatic and industrial automation technology. This valve operates on a direct-acting, solenoid-driven proportional control principle, where an electrical input signal (voltage or current) is continuously and proportionally translated into a corresponding pneumatic output pressure or flow. Unlike standard on/off solenoid valves, the VY1300-104 provides infinitely variable control of air or inert gas flow, enabling precise regulation of actuator speed, force, and positioning within closed-loop or open-loop pneumatic systems. Its compact body design and responsive electromagnetic actuation make it a critical control component in applications demanding smooth, repeatable, and high-resolution pneumatic modulation.
