SMC ZP2V-A01A01-10 ZP2V Series Vacuum Saving Valve

The SMC ZP2V-A01A01-10 Vacuum Saving Valve from the ZP2V Series is engineered to optimize vacuum system efficiency by restricting the reduction of vacuum pressure when a suction cup is not holding a workpiece.

Designed to be installed between the suction cup and vacuum source, this valve acts as a flow control device, constricting airflow through a fixed orifice during idle states and expanding to increase flow when vacuum is applied to a workpiece. This function maintains vacuum pressure and prevents loss of grip on active suction cups in multi-pad setups.

• Vacuum Pressure Stability: Effectively limits vacuum pressure drop by restricting airflow when no workpiece is present, ensuring stable suction force for the rest of the system.
• Workpiece Flexibility: Eliminates the need for manual switching operations when changing workpieces, allowing seamless adaptation to different shapes and configurations.
• Built-in Filtration: Incorporates a 40 ?m filter element to prevent contamination and prolong valve and system component life.
• Connection Options: Available with an easy-to-use One-touch fitting for quick installation and maintenance alongside conventional threaded connections.

The valve supports effective operation within maximum operating vacuum pressure ranges from 0 to ?100 kPa and an operating temperature range of 5 to 60°C, with no freezing allowed, aligning with typical pneumatic handling environments.

Technical specifications include option variations in orifice sizes allowing control over minimum operating flow rates, optimizing vacuum generation and energy usage across industrial automation and handling applications.

This valve is particularly suitable for manufacturing and automation systems where multiple vacuum pads are used with a single vacuum generator, supporting simplified, robust vacuum circuit designs and minimizing system downtime and energy consumption.
