VFR5410-5DZ-06-Q: Pilot-Operated 5-Port Solenoid Valve – Heavy-Duty Drive Core with High Flow Rate and 3-Position Exhaust Center Function
2026-03-27
Product Positioning
The VFR5410-5DZ-06-Q is a pilot-operated 5-port solenoid valve from SMC’s VFR5000 series. It features a 3-position, 5-port double solenoid, base-mounted design with elastomer sealing (rubber seal). This series is distinguished by its high flow rate, high durability, and versatile size options, specifically designed for driving medium to large-sized cylinders. This model utilizes a 3-position exhaust center function, where all ports connect to the exhaust when both solenoids are de-energized, allowing the cylinder piston to move freely. This is ideal for applications requiring rapid pressure release or emergency stops. Its exceptional flow capacity and robust construction make it a crucial control component for heavy-duty automated lines in automotive manufacturing, steel/metal industries, large packaging machinery, and other high-power applications.
Core Highlights: High Flow Drive, Double Solenoid Memory, 3-Position Exhaust Center
- High Flow Rate, Powerful Drive
- Can drive large cylinders with bores from 125 to 300 mm, meeting heavy-duty application demands.
- Exceptional flow characteristics: With a 3/4″ port, the Cv value is 4.6, ensuring rapid response and ample power for large actuators.
- 3-Position Exhaust Center Function, Rapid Exhaust
- Features a 3-position exhaust center design. When both solenoids are de-energized, ports A and B connect to the exhaust port, allowing the cylinder piston to move freely or stop quickly, suitable for applications requiring rapid residual pressure release after an emergency stop.
- Double Solenoid Design, Maintains Position When De-energized
- Uses a double solenoid structure, where two coils control spool shifting and resetting. Upon de-energization, it returns to the center position via spring return.
- Suitable for applications needing automatic reset after an emergency stop or rapid exhaust in the center position.
- Smart Indication and Protection, Reliable Electrical Connection
- “DZ” in the model indicates a DIN terminal connector with an indicator light and overvoltage protection circuit. The LED indicator provides real-time status, while the overvoltage protection circuit safeguards the control system from voltage spikes.
- Manual override is of the non-locking push type, facilitating on-site commissioning and emergency manual control.
- Elastomer Seal, Low Leakage
- Uses a rubber seal structure, ensuring excellent sealing performance and long life with extremely low internal leakage.
- Wide Operating Conditions, Lubrication-Free Maintenance
- Operating pressure range 0.2~0.9 MPa, suitable for various conditions from low to medium-high pressure.
- Ambient/fluid temperature: -10~50℃.
- Port size: 3/4 inch (Rc thread). Piping style: side ported.
- Lubrication-free design, pre-lubricated at the factory, requiring no additional oil during long-term operation, reducing maintenance costs.
- CE Certified, Internationally Compatible
- The suffix “-Q” denotes CE compliant, meeting EU standards and facilitating export of equipment.
