I have been trying to order Festo solenoid, but found that it was not standard Festo product and is hard to get. So, we have decided to use smc solenoid. However, the SMC does not provide online order service…
Is there place I can order SMC solenoids? or Do I have to contact the distributor and would the distributor have the part we need?
Googling turned up this -

For the 2008 SMC parts, including pics and part numbers, go here:

Edit - it looks like the standard double solenoid valve SMC donated to teams for years is out of stock. I sent an email to customer service on that site asking them about lead time and availability. I will post here if I receive a response.
You might try Motion Industries or Applied Industrial.
You are correct, both have a similar industrial strength valve for what we need.
If only they didn’t cost $176.64 :ahh: We’ll call SMC.
I work for a pneumatic distributor that reps a line that is directly interchangeable with the SMC line. It is a Korean manufacture called TPC pneumatics.
If you can give me the SMC part numbers you are looking for I can get you the TPC direct interchanges.
For example:
SMC #
SY3140-5H
TPC #
DV1140-5H Single Solenoid 24VDC 10MM valve
$39.60 each
