SMC CQ2A32-50DCMZ — CQ2 Z series compact cylinder, ø32 bore with 50 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tapped at both ends with a male rod thread and rubber bumpers fitted at the stroke ends. Specification — CQ2A32-50DCMZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, standard type) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 50 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Rod end / cushion CM — rubber bumper, male rod thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 349 g Why the rubber bumper version A compact cylinder has no air cushion, so at speed the piston meets the end cover hard. Rubber bumpers absorb that impact, which cuts the knock heard at each stroke end and extends the life of the cylinder. On clamping and stopper work, where the cylinder hits its end every cycle, the bumper version is usually worth the small extra cost. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush, with no projection outside the body Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2 prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2A32-50DCMZ. Bore, stroke, mounting, cushion and rod end are all in the code — a single character changes the part. The plain version without bumpers is CQ2A32-50DZ. Supply from

SMC IS10-01 — IS10 series pressure switch with R1/8 port. Mechanical switch that outputs a contact signal when line pressure reaches the set point, and mounts directly onto a modular F.R.L. unit. Specification — IS10-01 Series IS10 (pressure switch) Port size R 1/8 Mounting Direct, or connected to modular F.R.L. units Service life 5 million operations Fluid Air Product weight 62 g Features 16% lighter and 11% smaller than the earlier IS1000 series Rated for 5 million operations Connects into a modular F.R.L. set, so no separate bracket or tee is needed What it is for A pressure switch tells the control system that air is actually present before a cycle starts. Without one, a machine can begin a sequence on low or lost pressure and stall mid-stroke with a part clamped. Mounting it on the F.R.L. set puts the sensing point right after air preparation, where the reading matters. Typical use Supply pressure interlocks, clamp confirmation, and low-pressure alarms on machines and cells. Ordering Order by the full code IS10-01. The suffix gives the port size, and the IS10-01-6 variant carries a different connection. For a digital readout instead of a mechanical contact, the ISE series is the equivalent. Send the code and quantity and we will quote it. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC ISG130-030-Q — ISG series general purpose pressure switch with DC24V indicator lamp. Rated for general fluids rather than air alone, and enclosed to IP44 for use outside a control cabinet. Specification — ISG130-030-Q Series ISG (general purpose pressure switch) Fluid General purpose — air, water, oil Enclosure IP44 equivalent Indicator Lamp fitted, DC24V Product weight 1,000 g Where the ISG differs from an air-only switch Most pneumatic pressure switches are built for clean dry air. The ISG body accepts general fluids, so it also suits water, coolant and hydraulic oil lines. The IP44 enclosure means splash and dust are tolerated, which is what allows it to be mounted on the machine rather than inside a panel. The indicator lamp The built-in lamp shows switching state at the device, so a technician can see whether the set point has been reached without tracing wiring back to the PLC. On pump and coolant circuits, that is usually the fastest way to tell whether the switch or the line is at fault. Typical use Pump discharge monitoring, coolant and water line interlocks, hydraulic pressure confirmation, and any pressure alarm point that sits out on the machine. Ordering Order by the full code ISG130-030-Q. The set pressure range and electrical specification are both fixed by the code, so confirm both against the switch being replaced. Tell us the fluid and the pressure range and we will confirm the right variant.

SMC AR20K-F02BE-D — AR-D series modular regulator, 1/4" port, with a built-in check valve that lets downstream air escape when the supply is cut. The D series is the current generation, replacing the discontinued AR(K)-B. Specification — AR20K-F02BE-D Series AR20(K)-D to AR60(K)-D (modular regulator, reverse flow) Body size 20 Port size 1/4" Function Reverse flow (built-in check valve) Gauge Square embedded pressure gauge (E), bracket (B) Fluid Air Product weight 140 g Features of the D series Reshaped handle — easier to grip when releasing the lock Choice of gauge: square embedded gauge, round gauge, or digital pressure switch Panel mount compatible with the earlier AR(K)-B series; brackets and set nuts are common to both generations Embedded gauge or round gauge The embedded square gauge sits flush in the regulator body, so nothing projects into the panel space and the reading is taken from the front. The round gauge stands proud on top and is easier to read from an angle. Both cover the same pressure range — the choice is about where the operator stands. Replacing an AR(K)-B unit The D series is the direct successor to the AR(K)-B, discontinued by SMC in March 2025. Panel mounting, brackets and set nuts carry over, so an existing installation usually takes the new unit without rework. Tell us the old code and we will confirm the matching D specification. Ordering Order by the full code AR20K-F02BE-D. The K marks the reverse flow function, F02 the port thread, and BE the bracket and embedded gauge — one character changes the part. The AR20K-02BG-D (round gauge) and AR30K-03BG-D (3/8") are available in the same family.

SMC AW30-F03E-D — AW-D series modular filter regulator, 3/8" port, with a built-in check valve that lets downstream air escape when the supply is cut. Filter and regulator in one body, so the air preparation set is shorter and needs less piping. Specification — AW30-F03E-D Series AW20(K)-D to AW60(K)-D (modular filter regulator, reverse flow) Body size 30 Port size 3/8" Function Filtration + regulation + reverse flow Gauge Square embedded pressure gauge (E) Bowl Two-layer transparent case guard, 360° visibility Fluid Air Product weight 360 g Features of the D series Filter and regulator in one body — shorter set, fewer joints Reshaped handle, easier to grip when releasing the lock Two-layer transparent case guard covering the full circumference, so the bowl and drain level can be checked from any side (360° visibility) Panel mount compatible with the earlier AW(K)-B series; brackets and set nuts are common to both generations Why the 360° guard matters On a machine the filter bowl usually ends up facing a frame or a wall, and the drain level goes unchecked until water carries over. A guard that is transparent all the way round lets the operator read the bowl from wherever they happen to be standing, and the second layer protects it from knocks and coolant. Replacing an AW(K)-B unit The D series replaces the AW20-AW60-B, which SMC discontinued in March 2025. Panel mounting, brackets and set nuts carry over, so an existing installation usually takes the new unit without rework. Send us the old code and we will confirm the matching D specification. Ordering Order by the full code AW30-F03E-D. Port size, gauge and bracket options are all in the code. The AW40-F06-D covers the 3/4" size in the same configuration.

SMC ASV410F-01-10S — ASV series quick exhaust controller. A quick exhaust valve and a metering orifice built into one body, so the cylinder dumps its air locally instead of pushing it back through the solenoid valve. Specification — ASV410F-01-10S Series ASV (quick exhaust controller) Body size 410 Thread R 1/8 Tube O.D. ø10 mm Function Quick exhaust valve + exhaust metering in one body Product weight 41 g What it does Normally the exhaust air from a cylinder travels back down the tube to the valve before it reaches atmosphere, and that return path limits how fast the cylinder can move. A quick exhaust controller vents at the cylinder port instead, and the built-in orifice still lets the speed be set. Fitting one is usually cheaper than moving to a larger valve and bigger tube. Choosing between ø8 and ø10 Both share the same R1/8 thread and body. The ø10 tube passes more air, which suits larger bores or longer tube runs where the ø8 connection would become the restriction. If the existing tubing is ø8, the ASV410F-01-08S is the direct fit. Ordering Order by the full code ASV410F-01-10S. The thread and tube size are both in the code.

SMC AW40-F06-D — AW-D series modular filter regulator, 3/4" port, with a built-in check valve that lets downstream air escape when the supply is cut. Filter and regulator in one body, so the air preparation set is shorter and needs less piping. Specification — AW40-F06-D Series AW20(K)-D to AW60(K)-D (modular filter regulator, reverse flow) Body size 40 Port size 3/4" Function Filtration + regulation + reverse flow Bowl Two-layer transparent case guard, 360° visibility Fluid Air Product weight 690 g Sizing the body to the line The 40 body with 3/4" ports passes considerably more air than the 30 body at 3/8", so it suits a machine inlet feeding several stations rather than a single branch. Undersizing here shows up as pressure drop at the far end of the circuit when everything cycles at once, which is hard to diagnose later. Features of the D series Filter and regulator in one body — shorter set, fewer joints Reshaped handle, easier to grip when releasing the lock Two-layer transparent case guard covering the full circumference, so the bowl and drain level can be checked from any side Panel mount compatible with the earlier AW(K)-B series; brackets and set nuts are common to both generations Replacing an AW(K)-B unit The D series replaces the AW20-AW60-B, which SMC discontinued in March 2025.

SMC AR20K-02BG-D — AR-D series modular regulator, Rc 1/4 port, with a built-in check valve that lets downstream air escape when the supply is cut. The D series is the current generation, replacing the discontinued AR(K)-B. Specification — AR20K-02BG-D Series AR20(K)-D to AR60(K)-D (modular regulator, reverse flow) Body size 20 Port size Rc 1/4 (code 02) Function Reverse flow (built-in check valve) Gauge Round pressure gauge (G), bracket (B) Fluid Air Product weight 140 g Features of the D series Reshaped handle — easier to grip when releasing the lock Choice of gauge: square embedded gauge, round gauge, or digital pressure switch Panel mount compatible with the earlier AR(K)-B series; brackets and set nuts are common to both generations Thread code: 02 or F02 Both are 1/4" bodies, but the thread differs — 02 is Rc (tapered, the usual choice in Korea and Japan) and F02 is G (parallel, common in Europe). They are not interchangeable in the same fitting, so check the thread on the unit being replaced before ordering. Replacing an AR(K)-B unit The D series is the direct successor to the AR(K)-B, discontinued by SMC in March 2025. Panel mounting, brackets and set nuts carry over, so an existing installation usually takes the new unit without rework. Tell us the old code and we will confirm the matching D specification. Ordering Order by the full code AR20K-02BG-D. The K marks the reverse flow function, 02 the port thread, and BG the bracket and round gauge.

SMC MBB32-65Z — MB-Z series air cylinder, ø32 bore with 65 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tie-rod construction on the standard mounting interface, with basic (B) mounting. Specification — MBB32-65Z Series MB-Z (standard air cylinder) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 65 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting B — basic Magnet None (MDB prefix for auto switch versions) Where the MB series fits Between the compact CQ2 and the heavy-duty cylinders sits the MB — a full-length tie-rod cylinder for general machine work, where stroke matters more than saving depth. Rod end fittings and pivot brackets can be specified as part of the order code rather than bought separately, which removes a line from the purchase order and a part from the stores. What changed in the Z generation Reshaped covers cut up to 10% from the mass of the previous design, with no change to the mounting dimensions — so a Z cylinder drops into an installation built for the older series. Auto switch versions This code has no built-in magnet. The MDB-Z family carries one: MDB, MDBW (double rod), MDBK (non-rotating), MDBKW, MDBB and MDB□Q. Ordering Order by the full code MBB32-65Z. Bore, stroke and mounting are in the code, and rod end fittings and brackets can be added as suffixes. Tell us what the cylinder drives and we will confirm the right mounting and rod end.

SMC IS10-01-L — IS10 series pressure switch with R1/8 port, set range 1 to 4 bar. Mechanical switch that outputs a contact signal when line pressure reaches the set point, and mounts directly onto a modular F.R.L. unit. Specification — IS10-01-L Series IS10 (pressure switch) Port size R 1/8 Set pressure range 1 to 4 bar Mounting Direct, or connected to modular F.R.L. units Service life 5 million operations Product weight 62 g Choosing the set range A pressure switch only works well in the middle of its range. The L version covers 1 to 4 bar, which suits most factory air circuits running at 4 to 6 bar supply with the alarm point set well below working pressure. For a set point above 4 bar, the standard IS10-01 range is the right one. What it is for A pressure switch tells the control system that air is actually present before a cycle starts. Without one, a machine can begin a sequence on low or lost pressure and stall mid-stroke with a part clamped. Mounting it on the F.R.L. set puts the sensing point right after air preparation, where the reading matters. Ordering Order by the full code IS10-01-L. The suffix fixes the set range and electrical connection, so both must match the switch being replaced. The IS10-01 and IS10-01-6 variants cover other combinations. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC,

SMC SY5120-5YO-01F-Q — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, body ported single unit with Rc 1/8 connections. Piped directly at the valve, so no subplate or manifold base is needed. Specification — SY5120-5YO-01F-Q Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Body ported, single unit Port size Rc 1/8 (01F) Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving circuit) Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7, SS5Y9 Product weight 93 g Body ported or base mounted A body ported valve takes the tubing straight into the valve, which suits a single cylinder sitting on its own somewhere in the machine. A base mounted valve (SY5140) needs a subplate but shares supply and exhaust across a manifold, which is what you want once several valves sit together. Both use the same internals — the choice is about how the air is piped. Why 0.1 W matters With the power saving circuit the coil draws a tenth of what an ordinary valve takes, so a bank of valves can run from a small PLC output card and adds almost no heat to the cabinet. Typical use Single cylinder control away from the main valve bank — clamps, stoppers and ejectors mounted out on the machine. Ordering Order by the full code SY5120-5YO-01F-Q. Coil voltage, electrical entry, port thread and pilot type are all in the suffix — confirm each against the valve being replaced. The base mounted SY5140 covers manifold use. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC CQ2B63-15DMZ — CQ2 Z series compact cylinder, ø63 bore with 15 mm stroke, double acting single rod. A large bore on a very short stroke, which is where the compact body pays off most. Specification — CQ2B63-15DMZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, standard type) Bore ø63 mm Stroke 15 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting B — through hole (standard) Rod end M — male thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 622 g Force without length At ø63 the piston area is about four times that of a ø32 cylinder, so thrust rises accordingly — roughly 1,870 N at 0.6 MPa. A tie-rod cylinder of the same bore would be several times longer overall; here the whole unit is barely deeper than the bore, which is what allows that force to be fitted inside a press frame or a clamping fixture. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush, with no projection outside the body Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2 prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2B63-15DMZ. Bore, stroke, mounting, rod end and switch groove are all in the code. At this bore and weight the cylinder needs proper support — check the mounting bolts and plate thickness against the thrust before fitting. This code has no built-in magnet; for auto switch mounting order the CDQ2 equivalent. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC,

SMC CQ2A50-100DCMZ — CQ2 Z series compact cylinder, ø50 bore with 100 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tapped at both ends, male rod thread, with rubber bumpers at the stroke ends. Specification — CQ2A50-100DCMZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, standard type) Bore ø50 mm Stroke 100 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Rod end / cushion CM — rubber bumper, male rod thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 1,125 g Long stroke on a compact body At 100 mm this is near the top of the practical stroke range for a compact cylinder. The body is still much shorter than a tie-rod unit of the same bore and stroke, but at over a kilogram the mounting has to be treated as a structural fixing rather than a bracket job — check plate thickness and bolt size against the thrust before fitting. Why the rubber bumper version A compact cylinder has no air cushion. At this bore and stroke the piston carries real momentum into the end cover, so the bumpers matter — they absorb the impact, cut the knock at each stroke end and extend the life of the cylinder. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2 prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2A50-100DCMZ. Bore, stroke, mounting, cushion and rod end are all in the code — a single character changes the part.

SMC VS7-6-FG-S-3-Q — VS7-6 series solenoid valve to the ISO interface, size 1, metal seal construction. The ISO footprint means it interchanges with size 1 valves from other makers on the same subplate. Specification — VS7-6-FG-S-3-Q Series VS7-6 (ISO interface solenoid valve) Interface ISO size 1 Seal Metal seal Actuation Single solenoid Product weight 530 g Why the ISO interface matters The mounting face, port positions and bolt pattern are fixed by the standard, so a size 1 valve from any manufacturer bolts onto the same subplate or manifold. On an existing machine that means the valve can be replaced without touching the piping, and a plant can standardise on one subplate across several valve brands. Metal seal construction A metal seal spool tolerates higher cycle rates and longer service than a soft seal, and holds up better where the air is dry or lightly lubricated. The trade-off is a small amount of internal leakage, so it is not the choice for circuits that must hold a load with the valve centred. Typical use Larger cylinder control on presses, machine tools and process equipment, where valve size and cycle life matter more than zero leakage. Ordering Order by the full code VS7-6-FG-S-3-Q. Coil voltage, electrical entry and pilot type are all in the suffix — confirm each against the valve being replaced, since the ISO body will bolt on even when the electrical specification does not match. Subplates and manifold bases are quoted separately. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC VXZ2B2FZ2AXB — VXZ series pilot operated 2-port solenoid valve for water, built to open and close at zero differential pressure. IP65 enclosure, suitable for air, water, hot water, oil and hot oil. Specification — VXZ2B2FZ2AXB Series VXZ (zero differential pressure, pilot operated 2-port) Operation Pilot operated, works from 0 MPa differential Fluids Air, water, hot water, oil, hot oil Body materials available Aluminium, resin, C37 brass, stainless steel Enclosure IP65 Product weight 750 g Why zero differential pressure matters An ordinary pilot operated valve needs a minimum pressure difference across it to lift the diaphragm — typically 0.02 MPa or more. On a gravity-fed tank line, a recirculating loop, or any circuit that has to open with no head, such a valve simply will not move. The VXZ uses a mechanically linked pilot so it opens from zero, which makes it the right choice for drain lines, tank outlets and low pressure water circuits. Fluid and body material The series covers hot water and hot oil as well as cold service, and the body can be specified in aluminium, resin, brass or stainless steel to suit the fluid. Resin bodies are also available with one-touch fittings, which saves threading on plant water lines. Typical use Cooling water supply and return, tank drain and fill, coolant circuits, and hot water lines on process equipment. Ordering Order by the full code VXZ2B2FZ2AXB. Body material, seal, port size, coil voltage and electrical entry are all in the suffix, and the seal has to match the fluid and its temperature — tell us the fluid, temperature and line pressure and we will confirm the right variant.

SMC SY5140-5LZ — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, base mounted single unit. Draws 0.1 W with the power saving circuit fitted, so a full manifold can run from a small PLC output card. Specification — SY5140-5LZ Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Base mounted, single unit Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving circuit) Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7, SS5Y9 Product weight 61 g Why 0.1 W matters on a manifold A 16-station manifold of ordinary 1 W valves pulls 16 W from the control supply and puts that heat inside the cabinet. At 0.1 W the same bank draws under 2 W, which often removes the need for a separate supply or a larger output card, and keeps the enclosure cooler. Mixing 3-port and 5-port The SY manifold accepts 3-port and 5-port valves on the same base, so single acting and double acting cylinders can be driven from one block instead of two. Aluminium one-piece, DIN rail and split manifold options are all available. Typical use Cylinder control on machines and cells, either as a single base-mounted valve or as a station on an SS5Y manifold. Ordering Order by the full code SY5140-5LZ. Coil voltage, electrical entry and pilot type are all in the suffix — confirm each against the valve being replaced. Manifold bases are ordered separately; tell us the station count and we will quote the base with the valves.

SMC ZP3E-T50BMNJB50 — ZP3E series high rigidity vacuum pad, ø50 bellows type with lip and groove, mounted on a 50 mm buffer. The bellows absorbs height differences while the lip and groove hold the workpiece steady once it is gripped. Specification — ZP3E-T50BMNJB50 Series ZP3E (high rigidity vacuum pad) Pad diameter ø50 mm Pad form Bellows with lip and groove Buffer Fitted, 50 mm stroke Product weight 257 g What the bellows and buffer each do The bellows lets the pad tilt and compress to meet a surface that is not level, which is what makes it work on stacked or uneven parts. The buffer is a sprung shaft behind the pad that absorbs the approach — the head can descend past the contact point without driving the pad into the work. On a stack where the top surface drops as parts are removed, the 50 mm buffer covers that change without re-teaching the height. Lip and groove A plain bellows pad can rock under acceleration. The lip seals against the surface and the groove adds stiffness across the face, so the part stays square to the head when the axis moves — which is the difference between placing a part accurately and dropping it. Typical use Depalletising, sheet and panel handling, and pick and place on parts of varying height. Ordering Order by the full code ZP3E-T50BMNJB50. Pad diameter, form, mounting thread, vacuum port direction and buffer stroke are all in the code — buffer strokes of 10, 30 and 50 mm are available, and the mounting can be male or female thread. Replacement pads are ordered separately from the buffer assembly.

SMC CDJ2YL10-100Z-B — CJ2Y-Z series low speed, low friction mini cylinder, ø10 bore with 100 mm stroke, double acting single rod with foot mounting and built-in magnet. Specification — CDJ2YL10-100Z-B Series CJ2Y-Z (low speed, low friction cylinder) Bore ø10 mm Stroke 100 mm Action Double acting, single rod Minimum stable speed 5 mm/s (to JIS B8377) Mounting L — foot Magnet Built-in (CD prefix) Product weight 57 g The problem this solves Below about 50 mm/s a standard cylinder starts to stick and jump instead of moving smoothly — the seal grips, pressure builds, the rod breaks free and overshoots. That stick-slip makes slow feeding, dispensing and gentle pressing impossible to control. The Y series uses a low friction seal and construction that holds steady motion down to 5 mm/s, verified to JIS B8377, and in both directions rather than only on extension. Interchangeable with the standard series Mounting dimensions match the standard CJ2, so a machine that turned out to need slow motion can be retrofitted without changing brackets or piping. Weight and overall size are the same as the standard product. Typical use Slow feeding, glue and sealant dispensing, gentle clamping on soft parts, and test rigs where the motion has to be observed. Ordering Order by the full code CDJ2YL10-100Z-B. Bore, stroke, mounting and magnet are all in the code. Matching low friction versions exist across the range — CDM2Y, CDG1Y, MDBY, CDA2Y, CDS2Y, CDQSY and CDQ2Y — so the same approach can be applied to larger bores.

SMC VQC4101-51 — VQC4000 series 5-port solenoid valve, plug-in base mounted unit. A compact body with enough flow to drive cylinders up to ø160, rated IP67 and for 100 million cycles. Specification — VQC4101-51 Series VQC4000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Plug-in, base mounted unit Cylinder capacity Up to ø160 (VQC5000 covers up to ø180) Power consumption 0.4 W (low wattage type) Service life 100 million cycles Enclosure IP67 Product weight 230 g Flow against size Driving a ø160 cylinder normally calls for a physically large valve, and on a crowded manifold that decides the width of the whole block. The VQC4000 delivers that flow from a body small enough to sit alongside the smaller stations, so one manifold can serve both the big press cylinder and the clamps around it. IP67 and cycle life IP67 means the valve tolerates washdown and dust, so the manifold can be mounted on the machine rather than inside a sealed cabinet. At 100 million cycles the valve outlasts most of the mechanics it drives, which matters on indexing lines firing several times a second. Control options The VQC series supports a wide range of control interfaces — individual wiring, serial transmission and fieldbus units — so the same valve body fits whichever control scheme the machine uses. Ordering Order by the full code VQC4101-51. Coil voltage, pilot type and manifold interface are all in the code. Plug-in valves need a matching base — tell us the station count, control type and IP rating and we will quote the manifold with the valves.

SMC CD85N20-250C-B — C85 series round air cylinder to ISO 6432, ø20 bore with 250 mm stroke, double acting single rod with air cushions and a built-in magnet. Specification — CD85N20-250C-B Series C85 (ISO 6432 mini cylinder) Standard ISO 6432 Bore ø20 mm Stroke 250 mm Action Double acting, single rod Cushion Air cushion (C) Magnet Built-in (CD prefix) Mounting B — basic Product weight 386 g Long stroke on a mini cylinder 250 mm is a long travel for a ø20 ISO 6432 body, and it is where the air cushion stops being optional. Without one the piston arrives at the end cover at full speed every cycle; with it the last few millimetres are decelerated, which is the difference between a cylinder that lasts and one that hammers itself apart. Why ISO 6432 matters Mounting dimensions, rod thread and port positions are set by the standard, so an ISO 6432 cylinder from any maker drops into the same bracket. On an old machine with a failed mini cylinder of unknown make, matching bore and stroke to this standard is usually enough to get the right replacement.

SMC CQ2WA32-50DMZ — CQ2W Z series compact cylinder, ø32 bore with 50 mm stroke, double acting with a rod at both ends. Tapped at both ends for mounting, with male threads on the rods. Specification — CQ2WA32-50DMZ Series CQ2W Z (compact cylinder, double rod) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 50 mm Action Double acting, double rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Rod end M — male thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 395 g Why the double rod version With a rod supported at both ends, the piston cannot twist under an off-centre load, so a separate guide is often unnecessary. The second rod gives a mounting point for a sensor dog or a stop, and equal areas on both sides mean the same force and speed in each direction. Mounting and rod end The A body is tapped at both ends for bolting from either face; the B body takes a bolt passing right through. The M rod end gives a male thread, so joints and clevises attach without an adapter — on a double rod cylinder that applies to both ends, which is useful when the second rod drives a second element. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2W prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2WA32-50DMZ. The W marks the double rod body, then bore, stroke, mounting and rod end — a single character changes the part. The ø40 (CQ2WB40-25DZ) and ø20 (CQ2WA20-20D)

SMC SY5200-5U1 — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, plug-in base mounted type. The plug-in construction carries the wiring through the manifold base, so a station is replaced without touching a single wire. Specification — SY5200-5U1 Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Plug-in, base mounted Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving) / 0.35 W (standard) Service life 200 million cycles (metal seal) / 70 million (elastomer seal) Base options Plug-in metal base IP40, connector base IP67 Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7 Product weight 92 g Why plug-in On a non plug-in manifold each valve is wired individually, so replacing one means opening the loom and re-terminating. A plug-in valve makes its electrical connection through the base, so the station is unbolted and swapped in a minute — which is the difference between a five-minute stop and a shift's downtime on a line with thirty valves. Service life 200 million cycles with a metal seal is an order of magnitude beyond typical requirements, and matters on high-speed indexing where a valve fires several times a second. The elastomer seal version reaches 70 million and seals tighter at rest — pick by whether cycle count or leakage is the constraint. Higher flow, smaller valve The increased flow rate of this generation often allows a step down in valve size for the same cylinder, which saves cabinet space and air. Ordering Order by the full code SY5200-5U1. Coil voltage, electrical entry and seal type are all in the suffix. Plug-in valves need a matching plug-in base — tell us the station count and IP rating required and we will quote the manifold with the valves.

SMC D-M9PSAPC — D-M9 series solid state auto switch, PNP output, direct mounting type with a pre-wired connector. Clamps into the cylinder switch groove and detects piston position through the tube wall. Specification — D-M9PSAPC Series D-M9 (solid state auto switch) Output PNP, 3-wire Construction Solid state — no contacts to wear Mounting Direct, into the cylinder switch groove Connection Pre-wired connector (-PC) Product weight 11 g Solid state or reed A reed switch has a mechanical contact that eventually welds or wears out; a solid state switch has none, so it survives high cycle rates and lasts far longer. Solid state is also faster, which matters when a short stroke is completed in tens of milliseconds. The trade-off is that it needs a supply and cannot simply be wired in series with a load like a reed. PNP or NPN PNP sources current to the load and is the usual choice on European and Korean PLCs; NPN sinks it and is more common on older Japanese equipment. The D-M9N is the NPN equivalent of this switch. Getting this wrong means the input never turns on, so check the PLC card before ordering. Ordering Order by the full code D-M9PSAPC. Output type, lead length and connector are all in the suffix. The switch must also match the cylinder — direct mount types fit cylinders with the corresponding groove, and a band mount version is used on round-body cylinders.

SMC SY5220-5YO-01F-Q — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, double solenoid, body ported with Rc 1/8 connections. Piped directly at the valve, so no subplate or manifold base is needed. Specification — SY5220-5YO-01F-Q Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Actuation Double solenoid Type Body ported, single unit Port size Rc 1/8 (01F) Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving circuit) Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7, SS5Y9 Product weight 135 g Double solenoid: why it is chosen A single solenoid valve springs back to its rest position when power is lost, so the cylinder returns whether that is wanted or not. A double solenoid holds its last position, which is what you need when a clamp must stay closed through a power interruption, or when a moving axis must not slam back to home on a fault. The trade-off is that the control system has to remember the state, since the valve will not tell you. Body ported or base mounted Body ported takes the tubing straight into the valve, which suits a cylinder sitting on its own somewhere in the machine. Once several valves sit together, a manifold base shares supply and exhaust and is the tidier option. Ordering Order by the full code SY5220-5YO-01F-Q. Coil voltage, electrical entry, port thread and pilot type are all in the suffix. The single solenoid equivalent is the SY5120-5YO-01F-Q.

SMC ISE20-P-M5 — ISE20 series high precision digital pressure switch for positive pressure, with a three-screen display and M5 port. Response time is 1.5 ms or less and the unit is IO-Link compatible. Specification — ISE20-P-M5 Series ISE20 (digital pressure switch, positive pressure) Port M5, integrated R1/8 fitting with bottom wiring entry Display 3-screen Response time 1.5 ms or less Communication IO-Link compatible Product weight 22 g Three screens, and why A single-display switch shows either the measured value or the set point, never both, so adjusting one means losing sight of the other. The three-screen layout keeps the reading, the set point and the output state visible at once, and settings can be changed while watching the live value — which is how a threshold gets set correctly the first time. Setting and response Setup runs in three steps with direct screen switching, so the switch can be configured at the machine rather than from the manual. At 1.5 ms response it keeps up with fast cycling where a mechanical switch would lag behind the event it is meant to catch. IO-Link Over IO-Link the switch reports its measured value and its own status to the controller, not just an on/off signal. Set points can be written from the PLC, so a line changeover does not require someone to walk round adjusting switches. Ordering Order by the full code ISE20-P-M5. Pressure range, port and output are all in the code. Low pressure range and low differential pressure types are available in the 20A series, along with an M12 connector version.

SMC AF800-12 — AF800 series large capacity air filter with 1-1/2" ports. Sized for main line duty rather than a single machine, removing water and solid particles before the air reaches the plant. Specification — AF800-12 Series AF800/900 (large capacity air filter) Body size 800 Port size 1-1/2" (code 12) Duty Main line / large flow Product weight 3,150 g Where a main line filter goes Machine-level filters are sized for one set of valves and cylinders. A main line unit sits at the compressor room outlet or at the entry to a building, and has to pass the whole plant demand without creating pressure drop. Undersizing here is expensive in a way that is hard to trace — every machine downstream runs a little low and nobody knows why. Filtration and drainage The filter separates bulk water and solid particles carried over from the compressor and the receiver. On a main line the collected volume is significant, so the drain arrangement matters as much as the element — an auto drain is usually specified rather than manual. Typical use Compressor room outlet, building or line entry, and ahead of large air preparation sets. Ordering Order by the full code AF800-12. Port size, drain type and bracket options are in the code. Replacement elements are ordered separately — tell us the housing code and we will confirm the matching element. The AF900 covers the larger flow range. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC CQ2A32-150DCMZ — CQ2 Z series long stroke compact cylinder, ø32 bore with 150 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tapped at both ends, male rod thread, with rubber bumpers at the stroke ends. Specification — CQ2A32-150DCMZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, long stroke type) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 150 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Rod end / cushion CM — rubber bumper, male rod thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 745 g At the top of the stroke range 150 mm is a long travel for a ø32 compact cylinder, and the rod is extended well beyond what the internal bearing was sized for. Keep the load on the cylinder axis — a floating joint at the rod end, or an external guide if the load is offset. Where the load cannot be aligned, a guided cylinder such as the MGP series is the more appropriate choice. Why the rubber bumper version A compact cylinder has no air cushion. Over 150 mm the piston builds real momentum before it reaches the end cover, so the bumpers matter — they absorb the impact and extend the life of the cylinder. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2 prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2A32-150DCMZ.

SMC CQ2A32-120DCMZ — CQ2 Z series long stroke compact cylinder, ø32 bore with 120 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tapped at both ends, male rod thread, with rubber bumpers at the stroke ends. Specification — CQ2A32-120DCMZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, long stroke type) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 120 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Rod end / cushion CM — rubber bumper, male rod thread Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight 625 g Long stroke on a compact body At 120 mm this is the long stroke variant of the series, and the reason it exists is that a tie-rod cylinder of the same bore and stroke would be far longer overall. What you give up is rod support — at this extension a side load is carried by a rod bearing that was designed for short travel, so an offset load needs a guide or a floating joint rather than being hung straight off the rod. Why the rubber bumper version A compact cylinder has no air cushion, and at 120 mm the piston arrives at the end cover with real momentum. The bumpers absorb that impact, cut the knock at each stroke end and extend the life of the cylinder.

SMC VP742-5YZ1-04F-M-X536 — VP700 series 3-port residual pressure release valve with main valve position detection, certified to ISO 13849-1 for use in safety circuits up to Category 4. Specification — VP742-5YZ1-04F-M-X536 Series VP700-X536 (safety residual pressure release valve) Certification ISO 13849-1, Categories 2 to 4 Function 3-port residual pressure release with main valve position monitoring Port size Rc 1/2 (04F) Limit switch Safety limit switch selectable Product weight 590 g Position monitoring is what makes it a safety valve An ordinary dump valve is told to close and is assumed to have closed. A safety valve reports its actual spool position back to the controller, so the system knows whether the air was really exhausted rather than trusting that the coil was de-energised. That feedback is what allows the valve to be counted in a Category 2 to 4 safety function under ISO 13849-1 — without it, no amount of redundancy in the rest of the circuit gets you there. Building a redundant system Two of these valves in series, each monitored, gives the redundancy and diagnostic coverage Categories 3 and 4 require. The construction is designed for that arrangement, so the pairing does not need custom engineering. Related variants -X536 is the monitored residual pressure release valve. -X555 adds a soft start-up function, which ramps pressure back into the circuit after a stop instead of admitting it all at once — worth specifying where a sudden repressurisation would move a cylinder unexpectedly. Ordering Order by the full code VP742-5YZ1-04F-M-X536. Coil voltage, electrical entry, port thread and the X-suffix are all part of the specification. Safety components should be selected against the risk assessment for the machine, not substituted by function alone — tell us the category required and we will confirm the variant.

SMC MGPM25-90Z — MGP-Z series guided compact cylinder, ø25 bore with 90 mm stroke, slide bearing guide. Two guide rods carry the side load instead of the piston rod, so an offset load will not bend the rod or wear the seal. Specification — MGPM25-90Z Series MGP-Z (guided compact cylinder) Bore ø25 mm Stroke 90 mm Guide M — slide bearing Mounting 4 patterns, piping from 2 directions Product weight 1,750 g Why a guided cylinder A plain cylinder rod is made to take axial load. Hang a plate or a gripper off the end and every stroke works the rod sideways in its bearing, which shows up as a leaking rod seal within months. The MGP carries that load on two guide rods running in their own bearings, so the piston rod only pushes. Longer stroke, more overhang At 90 mm the guide rods extend a long way when the cylinder is out, and the allowable side load falls as the stroke extends — the moment arm grows with it. Check the load and its offset against the stroke-end figures rather than the retracted rating, particularly on a vertical lift where the plate carries a gripper. What changed in the Z generation Shortened guide rods and thinner plates cut up to 24% from the mass of the previous design, and the rods are up to 22 mm shorter, which reduces the clearance needed behind the cylinder. Band-type and strong magnetic field auto switches mount directly without adding width. Ordering Order by the full code MGPM25-90Z. Bore, stroke and guide type are in the code. The L suffix gives a ball bushing guide for faster, lighter duty. Strokes from 20 to 200 mm are available in this bore.

SMC SY5420-5DZ-01F-Q — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, three position type, body ported with Rc 1/8 connections. Both solenoids de-energised leaves the spool centred, so the cylinder can be stopped part way through its travel. Specification — SY5420-5DZ-01F-Q Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Positions 3-position, double solenoid Type Body ported, single unit Port size Rc 1/8 (01F) Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving circuit) Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7, SS5Y9 Product weight 140 g Why a three position valve A two position valve always drives the cylinder to one end or the other. The third position lets it stop mid-travel — needed for jogging an axis into place, holding a load when the sequence pauses, or letting an operator move a mechanism by hand during setup. Electrical entry The DZ suffix specifies the connector style. Electrical entry is worth checking as carefully as the valve function, because a valve with the wrong entry will bolt on and pipe up correctly and then leave you with a loom that does not reach or plug in. SY5420 variants This is the same body as the SY5420-5LOU-01F-Q; the suffix changes the centre position type and the electrical connection. Closed, exhaust and pressure centre behave quite differently on a power cut, so confirm which the circuit needs. Ordering Order by the full code SY5420-5DZ-01F-Q. Coil voltage, centre type, electrical entry and port thread are all in the suffix. Two position versions in the same body are the SY5120 and SY5220.

SMC CDUKW16-25D — CUKW series free mount cylinder, ø16 bore with 25 mm stroke, double acting with a rod at both ends, non-rotating, magnet fitted. The body bolts directly from several faces, so no mounting bracket is needed. Specification — CDUKW16-25D Series CUKW (free mount, non-rotating, double rod) Bore ø16 mm Stroke 25 mm Action Double acting, double rod Rod Non-rotating Magnet Built-in (CD prefix) Mounting Direct, multiple faces Product weight 142 g Non-rotating rod A standard round rod can turn in its bearing, which is fine for pushing but not for carrying a tool, a gripper or a sensor that has to stay pointed the same way. The K version uses a profiled rod that cannot rotate, so whatever is mounted on the end keeps its orientation through the whole stroke without an external guide. Double rod and free mounting With a rod at both ends the piston stays square under an off-centre load, and the second rod gives a place to mount a stop or a sensor dog. The free mount body carries tapped holes on several faces, so it bolts straight onto whatever surface the machine offers — on a retrofit into an existing frame that often decides whether the cylinder fits at all. Typical use Small tool and gripper actuation, indexing pins, and any short move where the end fitting must not twist. Ordering Order by the full code CDUKW16-25D. Bore, stroke and rod type are all in the code, and the CD prefix gives the magnet. The family covers CDU, CDUW (double rod), CDUK (non-rotating), CDUKW, CDU-A and ZCDUK.

SMC VQ7-6-FG-D-3NRA02-Q — VQ7-6 series 5-port solenoid valve to the ISO interface, size 1, three position double solenoid with a DC24V coil. The ISO footprint means it interchanges with size 1 valves from other makers on the same subplate. Specification — VQ7-6-FG-D-3NRA02-Q Series VQ7-6 (ISO interface solenoid valve) Interface ISO size 1 Positions 3-position, double solenoid Coil voltage DC 24 V Manifold VV71, VV72 Product weight 820 g Why the ISO interface matters The mounting face, port positions and bolt pattern are fixed by the standard, so a size 1 valve from any manufacturer bolts onto the same subplate or manifold. On an existing machine that means the valve can be replaced without touching the piping, and a plant can standardise on one subplate across several valve brands. Three position operation With neither solenoid energised the spool centres, so the cylinder stops part way through its travel rather than being driven to one end. That is what allows an axis to be jogged into position, a load to be held when the sequence pauses, or a mechanism to be moved by hand during setup. The centre type — closed, exhaust or pressure — decides what happens on a power cut and is part of the order code. Ordering Order by the full code VQ7-6-FG-D-3NRA02-Q. Coil voltage, centre type, electrical entry and pilot arrangement are all in the suffix — an ISO body will bolt on even when the electrical specification does not match, so check each one.

SMC MBKB32-450Z — MBK-Z series air cylinder with a non-rotating rod, ø32 bore and 450 mm stroke, double acting single rod, basic mounting. Specification — MBKB32-450Z Series MBK-Z (non-rotating rod air cylinder) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 450 mm Action Double acting, single rod Rod Non-rotating Mounting B — basic Magnet None (MDBK prefix for auto switch versions) Product weight 1,550 g Non-rotating rod A standard round rod can turn in its bearing. That is fine for pushing, but not when the rod end carries a tool, a gripper or a plate that has to stay pointed the same way. The K version uses a profiled rod that cannot rotate, so the end fitting keeps its orientation through the whole stroke without an external guide or anti-rotation bracket. At 450 mm of stroke This is a long cylinder, and at that extension the rod carries its own weight as a cantilever before any load is added. Support the far end where possible, keep the load on the axis, and check buckling against the stroke rather than only the thrust — the rod diameter that is ample at 100 mm is working hard at 450 mm. What changed in the Z generation Reshaped covers cut up to 10% from the mass of the previous design, with no change to the mounting dimensions, so a Z cylinder drops into an installation built for the older series. Ordering Order by the full code MBKB32-450Z. Bore, stroke and mounting are in the code, and rod end fittings and pivot brackets can be added as suffixes. This code has no built-in magnet — the MDBK versions carry one.

SMC CQ2A32-180DCZ — CQ2 Z series long stroke compact cylinder, ø32 bore with 180 mm stroke, double acting single rod. Tapped at both ends with rubber bumpers at the stroke ends. Specification — CQ2A32-180DCZ Series CQ2 Z (compact cylinder, long stroke type) Bore ø32 mm Stroke 180 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting A — both ends tapped Cushion C — rubber bumper Rod end Female thread (standard) Switch groove Z — 4 surfaces (ø32 to ø100) Product weight Approx. 830 g The longest stroke in this bore At 180 mm the rod extends far beyond what the internal bearing was designed to support. Keep the load strictly on the cylinder axis — a floating joint at the rod end, and an external guide if there is any offset. Where the load cannot be aligned, a guided cylinder such as the MGP series is the right answer rather than a longer compact cylinder. Why the rubber bumper version A compact cylinder has no air cushion. Over 180 mm the piston reaches full speed well before the end cover, so the bumpers are doing real work at every cycle. About the CQ2 Z series Lineup from ø4 to ø200, with ø4, ø6 and ø10 recently added 5 to 13% lighter than the previous CQ2 generation Auto switches mount on four faces at this bore and sit flush Double clevis brackets and a compact foot bracket are available Magnet-equipped versions carry the CDQ2 prefix Ordering Order by the full code CQ2A32-180DCZ.

SMC SY5420-5LOU-01F-Q — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, three position type, body ported with Rc 1/8 connections. Both solenoids de-energised leaves the spool centred, which holds the cylinder where it stands. Specification — SY5420-5LOU-01F-Q Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Positions 3-position, double solenoid Type Body ported, single unit Port size Rc 1/8 (01F) Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving circuit) Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7, SS5Y9 Product weight 98 g Why a three position valve A two position valve always drives the cylinder to one end or the other. A three position valve adds a centre where neither solenoid is energised, so the cylinder can be stopped part way through its travel — needed for jogging an axis into position, for holding a load when the sequence pauses, or for letting an operator move a mechanism by hand during setup. Centre position types Closed centre traps air on both sides and holds position; exhaust centre vents both sides so the cylinder can be pushed by hand; pressure centre feeds both sides. Each is a different order code and the behaviour on a power cut is quite different, so confirm which the machine needs before ordering. Ordering Order by the full code SY5420-5LOU-01F-Q. Coil voltage, centre type, electrical entry and port thread are all in the suffix. Two position versions in the same body are the SY5120 (single solenoid) and SY5220 (double solenoid).

SMC MXQ12-50A — MXQ series air slide table, ø12 bore with 50 mm stroke. Guide rail and table are one integrated body running on a recirculating linear guide, so rigidity and accuracy come from the unit itself rather than from what it is bolted to. Specification — MXQ12-50A Series MXQ (air slide table) Bore ø12 mm Stroke 50 mm Guide Recirculating linear guide, integrated rail and table Product weight 528 g Why a slide table instead of a cylinder and rail Building the same function from a cylinder, a linear rail and a coupling plate means aligning three components and living with the stack-up of their tolerances. A slide table arrives aligned — the piston drives a table that is already running on its own guide, machined as one assembly. On a pick-and-place head or an inspection station, that is the difference between repeatability you can specify and repeatability you have to find by adjustment. Recirculating guide Recirculating ball guides carry load in all directions, including moment loads, and keep their accuracy over long service. A plain bushing slide is cheaper but deflects under an offset load — which is exactly the load a table usually carries, since the work sits above the guide plane. Typical use Short-stroke pick and place, part transfer between stations, inspection and measurement positioning, and small assembly presses. Ordering Order by the full code MXQ12-50A. Bore, stroke and end configuration are all in the code — the A suffix specifies the stroke adjuster arrangement, and end lock and symmetric variants use different codes. Bores from ø6 to ø25 are available in this series. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC ZP3M-T50RFSJB50-MF — ZP3M series vacuum pad, ø50 bowl type with an anti-slip surface, mounted on a 50 mm buffer. The bowl shape suits curved and domed surfaces that a flat pad cannot seal against. Specification — ZP3M-T50RFSJB50-MF Series ZP3M (vacuum pad, anti-slip type) Pad diameter ø50 mm Pad form Bowl Surface Anti-slip Buffer Fitted, 50 mm stroke Product weight 236 g Bowl shape and anti-slip surface A flat pad only works on a flat face. The bowl form seats against curved and domed work — bottles, pressed panels, castings — where a flat pad would leak at the edge. The anti-slip surface then stops the part rotating or sliding under acceleration, which is what usually goes wrong when a curved part is lifted quickly. What the buffer does The buffer is a sprung shaft behind the pad. The head can descend past the contact point without driving the pad into the work, and the 50 mm stroke covers height variation across a stack or between parts without re-teaching the position. Typical use Handling bottles, containers, pressed panels and castings — anywhere the gripping surface is not flat. Ordering Order by the full code ZP3M-T50RFSJB50-MF. Pad diameter, form, surface, mounting thread and buffer stroke are all in the code — buffer strokes of 10, 30 and 50 mm are available. Replacement pads are ordered separately from the buffer assembly. The ZP3E bellows type covers uneven-height flat work.

SMC MGPM25-50Z — MGP-Z series guided compact cylinder, ø25 bore with 50 mm stroke, slide bearing guide. Two guide rods carry the side load instead of the piston rod, so an offset load will not bend the rod or wear the seal. Specification — MGPM25-50Z Series MGP-Z (guided compact cylinder) Bore ø25 mm Stroke 50 mm Guide M — slide bearing Side load capacity Over 2× that of a conventional stopper cylinder Mounting 4 patterns, piping from 2 directions Product weight 1,140 g Why a guided cylinder A plain cylinder rod is made to take axial load. Hang a plate or a gripper off the end and every stroke works the rod sideways in its bearing, which shows up as a leaking rod seal within months. The MGP carries that load on two guide rods running in their own bearings, so the piston rod only pushes — which is what it is designed to do. Slide bearing or ball bushing The M suffix is the slide bearing version: higher load capacity, more tolerant of shock and contamination, and quieter. The ball bushing version (L) moves with less friction and suits higher speeds and more frequent cycling. Pick by whether the duty is heavy or fast. What changed in the Z generation Shortened guide rods and thinner plates cut up to 24% from the mass of the previous design, and the guide rods are up to 22 mm shorter — which reduces the clearance needed behind the cylinder when it is installed. Band-type and strong magnetic field auto switches mount directly without adding width. Ordering Order by the full code MGPM25-50Z. Bore, stroke and guide type are in the code. This series replaces the MGP (non-Z), discontinued in April 2012 — if your machine carries an MGPM25-50, this is the current equivalent, though mounting should be checked against the drawing before ordering. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC VP742-5YO1-04FA — VP700 series 3-port solenoid valve, pilot operated poppet type with elastomer seal and Rc 1/2 ports. Body ported, so the tubing connects directly at the valve. Specification — VP742-5YO1-04FA Series VP700 (3-port solenoid valve) Construction Pilot operated poppet, elastomer seal Port size Rc 1/2 (04F) Service life Over 50 million cycles Pilot valve Built-in strainer Manifold VV3P3, VV3P5, VV3P7 Product weight 503 g The built-in strainer Pilot operated valves fail from dirt in the pilot passage far more often than from wear in the main valve. A strainer at the pilot inlet catches that debris, which is why this series survives on plant air that is not as clean as the specification assumes. It is the difference between a valve that lasts years and one that sticks after a few months. Vacuum service The external pilot version can be used on vacuum, since the pilot pressure is supplied separately rather than taken from the main line. On an internal pilot valve there is nothing to drive the pilot when the main port is under vacuum. Full-wave rectifier for AC coils AC versions carry a built-in rectifier, which removes the hum and the inrush behaviour of a plain AC coil and makes switching quieter and more consistent. Ordering Order by the full code VP742-5YO1-04FA. Coil voltage, pilot type (internal or external), electrical entry and port thread are all in the suffix — the internal and external pilot versions look alike but are not interchangeable, so confirm which the circuit needs.

SMC IR2010-02BG-A — IR2000-A series precision regulator, 1/4" port with round gauge and bracket. Holds a set pressure to within 0.2% of full span, which is what makes it suitable for tension and contact pressure control rather than general air preparation. Specification — IR2010-02BG-A Series IR1000-A / 2000-A / 3000-A (precision regulator) Body size 2000 Port size 1/4" Sensitivity 0.2% full span Repeatability ±0.5% full span Gauge / bracket Round gauge (G), bracket (B) Product weight 350 g Where a precision regulator is needed A standard regulator drifts as flow changes and as the supply moves — good enough for driving cylinders, not for setting a force. A precision regulator holds the outlet within a fraction of a percent, which is what web tension and contact pressure control require: the pressure is the process variable, not just the power supply. What the A generation changed Air consumption reduced by up to 90% against the previous design — a precision regulator bleeds continuously to hold its setting, so on a machine with several of them this is a real saving on the compressor Flow capacity up to twice the previous model, so one unit may cover a duty that used to need the next size up Mass reduced by up to 27% Replacing an IR2010-02BG The -A series replaces the original IR1000/2000/3000, discontinued in April 2017. Sensitivity and repeatability are unchanged, so the control behaviour carries over; dimensions should still be checked against the drawing before ordering. Ordering Order by the full code IR2010-02BG-A. Port size, gauge and bracket options are all in the code. The IR1000-A and IR3000-A bodies cover smaller and larger flow ranges.

SMC SY3200-5U1-NA — SY3000 series 5-port solenoid valve, plug-in base mounted type. The smallest body in the SY family, for compact manifolds driving small and mid-size cylinders. Specification — SY3200-5U1-NA Series SY3000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Plug-in, base mounted Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving) / 0.35 W (standard) Manifold bases SS5Y3 Product weight Approx. 70 g Sizing within the SY family SY3000, SY5000 and SY7000 share the same construction and control options but differ in flow. The 3000 body suits small bore cylinders and short tube runs; going one size up costs manifold width for flow that may not be needed. Where a mix is required, 3-port and 5-port valves of the same series sit on one manifold. Why plug-in On a non plug-in manifold each valve is wired individually, so replacing one means opening the loom and re-terminating. A plug-in valve connects through the base, so a station is unbolted and swapped in a minute. Ordering Order by the full code SY3200-5U1-NA. Coil voltage, electrical entry and pilot type are all in the suffix. Plug-in valves need a matching SS5Y3 base — tell us the station count and we will quote the manifold with the valves.

SMC AR825-12 — AR425-935 series pilot operated regulator with 1-1/2" ports, internal pilot relieving type. Sized for main line duty where a direct acting regulator cannot hold the setting against the flow. Specification — AR825-12 Series AR425-935 (pilot operated regulator) Body size 825 Port size 1-1/2" (code 12) Type Internal pilot, relieving Product weight 2,500 g Pilot operated or direct acting A direct acting regulator balances the outlet pressure against a spring, and the setting sags as flow rises — acceptable on a machine branch, not on a main line where demand swings as plant cycles. A pilot operated regulator uses a small internal pilot to control a large main valve, so it holds its setting across a much wider flow range. On a 1-1/2" line that difference shows up as stable pressure at the far end of the plant instead of a reading that moves every time a large cylinder fires. Relieving type If downstream pressure rises above the setting — from thermal expansion, from a cylinder being pushed back, or from someone turning the knob down — a relieving regulator vents the excess to atmosphere instead of trapping it. On a non-relieving unit the only way down is to bleed the line manually. Typical use Main line pressure control at the compressor room outlet or building entry, and ahead of large air preparation sets. Ordering Order by the full code AR825-12. Port size, gauge and bracket options are all in the code — the G suffix adds a gauge and B a bracket, so AR825-12BG carries both. This size is usually made to order rather than stocked; tell us the quantity and we will confirm lead time with the price. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, sourced through Korean distribution and shipped from Gyeonggi-do with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC MBL80-250Z — MB-Z series air cylinder, ø80 bore with 250 mm stroke, double acting single rod with foot mounting. Tie-rod construction on the standard mounting interface. Specification — MBL80-250Z Series MB-Z (standard air cylinder) Bore ø80 mm Stroke 250 mm Action Double acting, single rod Mounting L — foot Magnet None (MDB prefix for auto switch versions) Product weight 5,010 g Force at ø80 A ø80 bore gives roughly 3,000 N at 0.6 MPa — enough to move a machine door, a heavy slide or a press platen. At that force the mounting is structural: the foot brackets need bolting to something that will not flex, and the reaction has to be carried into the frame rather than into a bracket plate. Foot mounting Foot brackets bolt the cylinder body to a surface parallel to its axis, which suits a cylinder lying along a frame member. It is the most common arrangement for horizontal pushing, but it puts the thrust line off the bolt plane, so the bolts see a moment as well as shear — check bolt size and spacing against the thrust rather than assuming. What changed in the Z generation Reshaped covers cut up to 10% from the mass of the previous design, with no change to the mounting dimensions, so a Z cylinder drops into an installation built for the older series. Ordering Order by the full code MBL80-250Z. Bore, stroke and mounting are in the code, and rod end fittings and pivot brackets can be added as suffixes. This code has no built-in magnet — the MDB versions carry one. The 350 mm stroke (MBL80-350Z) is available in the same configuration. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC VQZ3151-5YZ1-X113 — VQZ3000 series 5-port solenoid valve, base mounted plug lead unit. The X113 suffix marks a made-to-order specification. Specification — VQZ3151-5YZ1-X113 Series VQZ3000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Base mounted, plug lead unit Special specification -X113 Manifold bases VV5QZ12, VV5QZ15, VV5QZ22, VV5QZ25, VV5QZ32, VV5QZ35 Product weight 117 g Plug lead construction The coil and its lead form a plug that connects to the valve body rather than being wired into it. A failed coil is replaced without disturbing the valve or the piping, and the same body can take a different voltage by changing the lead — useful on a machine that moves between markets. Mixing 3-port and 5-port The VQZ manifold accepts 3-port and 5-port valves on the same aluminium block, so single acting and double acting cylinders can be driven from one manifold instead of two. DIN rail mounting is available on all base sizes. The X113 suffix X-codes are made-to-order specifications rather than catalogue options, so this variant is built against a specific requirement — often a seal material, a voltage or a port arrangement outside the standard range. Lead time is longer than for a catalogue valve, and the code must be matched exactly when reordering; a standard VQZ3151 will not necessarily do the same job. Ordering Order by the full code VQZ3151-5YZ1-X113, including the X suffix. Tell us the quantity and we will confirm lead time with the price. Manifold bases are quoted separately.

SMC VS7-6-FJG-D-3-Q — VS7-6 series solenoid valve to the ISO interface, size 1, 5-port three position exhaust centre with metal seal construction and double solenoid. Specification — VS7-6-FJG-D-3-Q Series VS7-6 (ISO interface solenoid valve) Interface ISO size 1 Function 5/3, exhaust centre Actuation Double solenoid Seal Metal seal Product weight 730 g Exhaust centre With both solenoids off the spool centres and both cylinder ports vent to atmosphere. The cylinder goes slack, so the mechanism can be pushed by hand — which is what a setter needs during teaching and what a maintenance technician needs before working on a jig. It also means a vertical load will fall, so this centre type belongs on horizontal or restrained axes, not on a lift. Exhaust centre or closed centre FJG is exhaust centre (C.SC.); FHG is closed centre (C.CH.), which traps air on both sides and holds the piston in place. Same body, same price band, opposite behaviour when power is lost — confirm which the circuit needs before ordering. Why the ISO interface matters The mounting face, port positions and bolt pattern are fixed by the standard, so a size 1 valve from any manufacturer bolts onto the same subplate. The valve can be replaced without touching the piping. Ordering Order by the full code VS7-6-FJG-D-3-Q. Coil voltage, centre type, electrical entry and pilot arrangement are all in the suffix. Subplates and manifold bases are quoted separately. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.

SMC ZK2B15K5NL2A-06-B — ZK2 series vacuum ejector unit with integrated supply valve. Generates vacuum from compressed air with no moving parts, and packages the valve, silencer and fittings into one body. Specification — ZK2B15K5NL2A-06-B Series ZK2 (ejector system vacuum unit) Configuration Ejector + supply valve, single unit Nozzle size ø1.5 mm (code 15) Port ø6 tube (code 06) Silencer High noise reduction type Product weight 117 g Suction flow and noise Suction flow is 50% higher than SMC's other single-stage ejectors, so a pad picks up faster or a larger pad can be run from the same unit. The high-reduction silencer takes the exhaust noise down without choking that flow — on a machine with a dozen ejectors firing continuously, that is the difference between a cell an operator can stand next to and one that needs hearing protection. Why an ejector instead of a pump An ejector has no moving parts and no motor, makes vacuum instantly at the point of use, and costs a fraction of a pump installation. It consumes compressed air while running, which is why the energy saving versions in this series exist — they cut supply once the set vacuum is reached, reducing air consumption by up to 93%. This code is the standard version without that function. Related options in the ZK2 series The family also covers energy saving ejectors, a normally open supply valve that holds vacuum through a power failure to stop workpieces dropping, and IO-Link compatible pressure switches that let the whole ejector be

SMC SY5200-5U1-NA — SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valve, plug-in base mounted type. The plug-in construction carries the wiring through the manifold base, so a station is replaced without touching a single wire. Specification — SY5200-5U1-NA Series SY5000 (5-port solenoid valve) Type Plug-in, base mounted Power consumption 0.1 W (power saving) / 0.35 W (standard) Service life 200 million cycles (metal seal) / 70 million (elastomer seal) Base options Plug-in metal base IP40, connector base IP67 Manifold bases SS5Y3, SS5Y5, SS5Y7 Product weight 92 g Why plug-in On a non plug-in manifold each valve is wired individually, so replacing one means opening the loom and re-terminating. A plug-in valve makes its electrical connection through the base, so the station is unbolted and swapped in a minute — the difference between a five-minute stop and a shift's downtime on a line with thirty valves. Service life 200 million cycles with a metal seal is an order of magnitude beyond typical requirements, and matters on high-speed indexing where a valve fires several times a second. The elastomer seal version reaches 70 million and seals tighter at rest — pick by whether cycle count or leakage is the constraint. Ordering Order by the full code SY5200-5U1-NA. Coil voltage, electrical entry and seal type are all in the suffix. Plug-in valves need a matching base — tell us the station count and IP rating and we will quote the manifold with the valves. The SY3200 covers the smaller body size. Supply from Korea Genuine SMC, stocked and shipped from Gyeonggi-do, Korea, with export packing and commercial documents prepared as standard.
