SMC 10-SY5240R-5LZ-02 | Clean Room 5-Port Solenoid Valve SY5000 Series Base Mounted Double Solenoid Rubber Seal 1/4" NPT
SMCThe SMC 10-SY5240R-5LZ-02 is a clean room specification 5-port solenoid valve from the SY5000 series with rubber seal and double solenoid configuration. Part number decoded: SY5240 = SY5000 type 240 (double solenoid), R = rubber seal type, 5LZ = solenoid specification (5 = voltage, L = coil type, Z = auto-switch groove), 02 = 1/4" NPT port size. The R suffix differentiates this from the metal seal version, indicating elastomer spool seals.
How does the R (rubber seal) variant compare to the standard SY5240? Rubber seal valves provide reliable sealing with lower operating pressure requirements and quieter operation compared to metal seal versions. The elastomer seals conform to the spool bore surface, creating a positive seal even at low pressures where metal seals may allow slight leakage. The trade-off is that rubber seals have a finite wear life and may be incompatible with certain gases or high-temperature environments. For standard compressed air in clean room applications at normal temperatures, rubber seals provide excellent performance and long service life.
The SY5240R-5LZ-02 provides the same double solenoid memory-position control as the SY5240-5LZE-02 but with rubber seals. For single solenoid spring return with rubber seals, the SY5140R provides fail-safe retraction. For the larger SY7000 with rubber seals, see SY7440R variants. For manifold-mounted assemblies, the SS5Y5 bar stock base accepts both rubber and metal seal SY5000 valves. Clean series (10-) fluorine grease, Particle Grade 1. RoHS compliant.
