SMC products are renowned for their comprehensive variety, high reliability, economic durability, and ability to meet the needs of various users in various fields. SMC, which has a market share of over 60% in Japan, integrates the production and sales of SMC products from 51 countries around the world through overseas subsidiaries and distributors, providing users with direct and comprehensive services.

The main characteristics of SMC solenoid valves are that the external leakage of the solenoid valve is blocked, the internal leakage is easy to control, and the use is safe. Internal and external leakage is a factor that endangers safety. Other automatic control valves usually extend the valve stem and are controlled by electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators to rotate or move the valve core. This needs to solve the problem of external leakage caused by long-term action of the valve stem dynamic seal; Only electromagnetic valves are completed by applying electromagnetic force to the iron core sealed in the magnetic isolation sleeve of the electric control valve, without dynamic sealing, so external leakage is easy to block.

It is difficult to control the torque of electric valves, which can easily cause internal leakage and even pull off the valve stem head; The structural type of solenoid valve is easy to control internal leakage until it drops to zero. Therefore, the use of solenoid valves is particularly safe, especially suitable for corrosive, toxic, or high and low temperature media.

The SMC solenoid valve system is simple, easy to connect to a computer, and affordable in price. The electromagnetic valve itself has a simple structure and low price, making it easier to install and maintain compared to other types of actuators such as control valves. More significantly, the composed automatic control system is much simpler and much cheaper.

Due to the switch signal control of the solenoid valve, it is very convenient to connect with the industrial computer. In today’s era of widespread use of computers and significant price reductions, the advantage of solenoid valves becomes even more apparent. SMC solenoid valve action express, with small power and lightweight appearance. The response time of solenoid valves can be as short as a few milliseconds, and even pilot operated solenoid valves can be controlled within a few tens of milliseconds. Due to its own circuit, it responds more sensitively than other automatic control valves.
