Product Positioning
The SS5Y5-20-04 is a manifold base specifically designed for SMC SY5000 series solenoid valves. It is an integrated base or bar stock manifold type. This product serves as an integration platform for pneumatic systems, allowing multiple SY5000 series 5-port solenoid valves to be mounted on a single base, enabling common supply (P), common exhaust (EA, EB), and individual wiring. Its core value lies in saving installation space, simplifying piping layout, and reducing system costs. It is an ideal foundational component for building efficient and compact pneumatic control systems in packaging machinery, electronics assembly, medical devices, and various general automation production lines.
Core Highlights: Integrated Design, Space Saving, Common Piping
- Manifold Structure, Significant Space and Cost Savings: Allows integrating the same series of SY5000 directional control valves into a valve manifold, saving space and cost.
- Enables common supply and exhaust, and individual wiring, making troubleshooting easier during failures and improving system maintenance efficiency.
- Flexible Configuration, High Expandability: Allows arbitrary combination or expansion of the number of connected directional control valves, with a maximum standard number of stations up to 20.
- Supports mixed mounting of 3-port and 5-port valves, greatly enhancing system design flexibility.
- Universal Piping Design, Standard Ports: Incorporates common SUP (Supply P) and common EXH (Exhaust EA, EB) circuits, simplifying external piping connections.
- Standard thread is Rc (PT tapered pipe thread), with options for G, NPT, NPTF to suit different regional standards.
- Flexible Wiring Method: Uses individual wiring, allowing separate electrical connections for each valve station, facilitating debugging and maintenance.
- Wide Operating Condition Adaptability, High Reliability:
- Applicable fluid: Air (compressed air).
- Operating pressure range: Max. 0.7 MPa.
- Operating temperature range: -10 ~ +50°C.
- Rich Optional Configurations: Numerous manifold options available, e.g., aluminum body, DIN rail mounting, combination manifolds.
- Can be used with plug-in metal bases (IP40) or plug-in connector bases (IP67).
