Are there any SMC solenoid valves that can operate at a high frequency for workpiece air blow applications?

VQ20/30 series valves are 2-way valves for air with a quick ON/OFF response time, ideal for high-frequency operation.
Due to the pilot type structure, a pressure differential between the inlet and outlet sides is required.
Check the catalog to see if the product is suitable for your application.
The VQ20/30 series catalog can be found here.
Note 1) VQ20/30 series valves should be used with dry air that does not contain drain or oils.
Note 2) Keep in mind that while standard VQ20/30 series valves have a long service life, the oil-free specification (special order part number suffix “-X2”) has a shorter service life.
