SMC VFS3130-4G-03 Solenoid Valve | 5/3 Way, 4mm, 24V DC, Double Solenoid, ISO-5599/1

SMC VFS3130-4G-03 solenoid valve specifications. 5/3 way, 4mm port size, 24V DC double solenoid, ISO-5599/1 subplate. Direct acting, 5-ported, 3-position.

Product Overview

The SMC VFS3130-4G-03​ is a 5/3 way double solenoid valve​ from the SMC VFS3000 series, designed for precise directional control in pneumatic systems. This valve features a 5-port, 3-position configuration​ with a center closed (blocked) function, a 4mm (G1/8) port size, and operates on 24V DC​ supply. It is a direct-acting, double solenoid pilot valve​ mounted on an ISO-5599/1 subplate, making it ideal for applications requiring a neutral center position where all ports are blocked. The valve is commonly used to control double-acting cylinders or actuators.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on the SMC VFS3000 series catalog. The "03" in the part number typically denotes a 24V DC double solenoid version. Always verify with the latest SMC datasheet.

Key Features

• 5/3 Way Valve:​ 5 ports (1 pressure, 2 actuators, 2 exhausts) and 3 positions for complex control

• Blocked Center (All Ports Closed):​ The center position blocks all ports, locking the actuator in place

• Double Solenoid Operation:​ 24V DC solenoids for precise electrical control of both positions

• ISO-5599/1 Subplate Mount:​ Standardized footprint for easy mounting and interchangeability

• Direct Acting Design:​ No minimum pressure required for operation; reliable at low pressure

• Manual Override:​ Manual actuation for testing and setup without power

• LED Indicator:​ Red LED shows the energized state of each solenoid coil

• Low Power Consumption:​ 1.4W per coil for energy efficiency

• IP65 Rating:​ Protected against dust and water jets when connector is attached

• High Flow:​ 1.3mm orifice (Cv ~0.5) for good flow characteristics

Port Configuration and Function (ISO 5599/1)

For the VFS3130-4G-03 (Double Solenoid), pilot ports 12 and 14 are not used.

Flow Characteristics

Typical Applications

• Double-Acting Cylinder Control:​ Precise extension and retraction with a locked mid-position

• Clamping/Pressing Operations:​ Where a cylinder must hold position under pressure

• Safety Control Circuits:​ Emergency stop functions requiring a locked actuator

• Indexing Tables:​ Positioning applications requiring a held intermediate position

• Material Handling:​ Grippers and manipulators

• Machine Tooling:​ Fixture clamping

• Automation Systems:​ Robotic end-of-arm tooling

• Packaging Machinery:​ Product positioning and holding

Ordering Information & Configuration Code

Common alternative voltage codes: 01=100V AC, 02=200V AC, 05=12V DC, 06=24V DC (different lead), 08=110V AC, 09=240V AC.

Important Technical Notes

1. Center Function:​ The "03" center function is Blocked (All Ports Closed). This is critical for selecting the correct valve for applications requiring a locked actuator.

2. Power Supply:​ Ensure a stable 24V DC (±10%) supply. Inrush current is higher than holding current; size the power supply accordingly.

3. Pilot Supply:​ This is a direct-acting solenoid valve; it does NOT require a separate pilot air supply.

4. Manual Override:​ Use the manual override for setup, testing, or emergency operation. Re-engage to the neutral position after use.

5. Exhaust Ports:​ Ports 3 (R) and 5 (S) are exhaust ports. They must be connected to mufflers (silencers) or piped to a safe location.

6. Mounting:​ The ISO-5599/1 subplate ensures easy mounting and manifold assembly. Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque.

7. Media:​ Use clean, dry compressed air. If lubricated air is used, do not stop lubrication, as it may wash out the grease in the valve seals.

8. Electrical Connection:​ Use the correct DIN 43650 Form A connector for the IP65 rating. Ensure polarity is correct for DC coils.

9. Response Time:​ The 20ms response time is typical. Consider this in high-speed cycling applications.

10. Maintenance:​ The valve is generally maintenance-free. Ensure the air supply has adequate filtration (5µm or better).

Note: This data sheet provides general specifications for the SMC VFS3130-4G-03 5/3 way solenoid valve. For complete installation guidelines, wiring diagrams, performance curves, manifold assembly instructions, and safety information, consult the official SMC VFS3000 Series Catalog​ and technical manuals. Always verify the exact model number, center function, and voltage against your application requirements.
