Engineered to endure. Designed to consume less.<\/h2>\n

In industrial plants, the 2-way valve is no longer an \u201caccessory\u201d component. It is a critical point for reliability, operational continuity, and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

SMC JSX valves were developed precisely to meet these needs: operating in harsh conditions, reducing energy consumption, and simplifying integration and maintenance\u2014without compromising performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What are JSX valves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The JSX<\/strong> series is a range of 2-way (2-port) solenoid valves<\/strong>, available in direct-acting or pilot-operated<\/strong> versions, designed to control:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • air<\/li>\n
  • water<\/li>\n
  • oil<\/li>\n
  • vacuum<\/li>\n
  • steam (dedicated versions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Standard direct-acting versions support flow rates of up to approximately 25 l\/min with water<\/strong>, with orifice sizes from 1.6 to 7.1 mm and port sizes from 1\/8\u201d to 3\/8\u201d<\/strong>, making them ideal for compact, distributed process applications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    The technical core of JSX valves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Materials and environmental protection<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Stainless steel body and coil cover<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Protection rating up to IP67<\/strong> (IP65 for versions with DIN connector)<\/li>\n
    • High resistance to corrosion, splashing, humidity, and weather exposure<\/li>\n
    • Compliance with CE, UL, and NEMA 4X<\/strong> (on selected versions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A combination designed for demanding industrial environments, both indoor and outdoor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

      Energy efficiency and coil performance<\/h2>\n

      The new JSX coil technology delivers concrete and measurable benefits:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Typical power consumption: 4 W (DC)<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Up to 14% reduction in energy consumption<\/strong> compared to the previous generation<\/li>\n
      • 10% increase in magnetic force<\/strong>, ensuring more stable switching<\/li>\n
      • Lower heat generation and longer service life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Result: less energy, less thermal stress, greater reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        Simplified installation<\/h2>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • 360\u00b0 rotatable coil<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • 360\u00b0 adjustable cable entry<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Details that make a real difference in the field: faster wiring, greater layout flexibility, and fewer compromises in confined spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

          Real application benefits<\/h2>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          • Higher reliability in humid and aggressive environments<\/strong>
            \nthanks to stainless steel construction and IP67 protection<\/li>\n
          • Reduced noise and vibration<\/strong>
            \nthrough internal stoppers and optimized construction<\/li>\n
          • Extended mechanical service life<\/strong> and fewer corrective interventions<\/li>\n
          • Wide selection of sealing materials<\/strong>
            \n(NBR, FKM, EPDM) for different fluids and temperature ranges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

            Main series variants<\/h2>\n

            The JSX platform is available in multiple families to address specific application requirements:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • JSX standard<\/strong> \u2013 air, water, oil | N.C. \/ N.O.<\/li>\n
            • JSXU<\/strong> \u2013 high flow rate and energy saving<\/li>\n
            • JSXV<\/strong> \u2013 vacuum applications<\/li>\n
            • JSXH<\/strong> \u2013 high-pressure applications<\/li>\n
            • JSXS<\/strong> \u2013 steam<\/li>\n
