To celebrate the 18th birthday of the VX solenoid valve range, SMC's research and development engineers didn't just bake a cake and add a few candles, but used all their experience to bring these popular valves to the very forefront of product innovation.

Since the launch of its first two-port solenoid valve range, Series VX, in 1987, SMC's range of process valves has expanded fivefold and is now recognised as the most comprehensive available in today's market place.

Designed to be used in like for like applications and offering total interchangeability with the previous VX products, these new improved valves offer lower power consumption and noise, longer life expectancy, improved corrosion resistance, easier maintenance and additional mounting options, in essence, the performance required of today's most advance solenoid valves.

Available in three model sizes with both open and closed operational options, these new VX valves also offer numerous thread and orifice selections including manifold arrangements from between two to ten stations.
