Following medical industry demands for a small three-port solenoid valve, these models are claimed to be some of the most compact and are very light in weight.

Following medical industry demands for a small three-port solenoid valve, world leading automation experts SMC Pneumatics have met the challenge with the launch of their latest Series S070 valves. With a valve body of only 7mm wide, 11mm high and 28mm long, these new S070 valves are some of the most compact products in the pneumatic marketplace and are ideal for applications where space availability is a problem. They are extremely light, weighing only 5g, and they also benefit from one of the lowest power consumptions around, with the smallest using only 0,1W of power.

These features alone make the S070 valve the perfect answer for applications where weight and energy cost are an issue.

However even with these 'baby' features, the valves achieve high flow rate performance, operating at flow rates between 15 and 3.8 litre/m.

Finally, as an additional bonus, these new valves are also very quiet and operate, barely above a baby waking whisper, at noise levels below 40dB.

Available in 3,5, 6,12 and 24V DC power supply options and with various mounting possibilities, including base mounted modular, bar type and body ported stacking, these low leakage baby valves offer really powerful big brother performance.
