Festo 5/2 Solenoid Valve - Solenoid/Solenoid G 1/8 VUVG Series 24V dc, 8042568

The VUVG series of compact design valves are ideal for use where installation space, weight, flow rate and mounting considerations are important. These solenoid valves have a high flow rate and are compact, allowing operation of more applications using a single valve type. The valves have up to 100% more flow and greater energy density due to a pressure capability of up to 10 bar. They offer a faster, more flexible and cost effective performance to your systems.

• The innovative design allows the control valve to be set to internal or external pilot air supply for manifolds with sub base valves
• The connection technology is easy to change via the electrical connection box
• Pressure range -0.9 bar to 10 bar for maximised energy density and more power
• The versatile design allows for a wide range of valve functions alongside a choice of quick push connectors
• There are options for semi in-line valves, in-line valves and sub-base valves within the VUVG series
• The option to combine M5 and M7 in-line valves to one manifold rail
• Valve manifold with pressure zones
• Sturdy and durable metal material
• Servicing is easy and efficient due to the valves being replaced quickly
• Fast and easy installation as well as maintenance
• Fast troubleshooting thanks to the integrated 360° LED display and quick status review
• The pneumatic valves offer high flow rates and short cycle times
• The valve systems allow for a long service life, reducing downtime
• Compact, smart design which saves space and time
• Non-overlapping between air ducts
• Positive locking seals, retaining mounting screws
• Protection: IP 40/IP 65

Solenoid valves generate a magnetic field from an electric current, in turn they operate a mechanism used to regulate the opening of fluid flow valves.

Make sure your operations run smoothly – even under pressure – with this solenoid valve from Festo. You can use it to automatically regulate the flow of air through your pneumatic system. When power passes through the solenoid, it moves an attached plunger to open or close the valve. With a maximum operating pressure of 7 bar, this unit is suitable for use with a broad range of compressed air systems such as pneumatic tools and hoists. A maximum flow rate of 600L/min means it stands up to the demands of fast-paced systems.

• 5/2 valve configuration suitable for use with double-acting pneumatic actuators
• Inline mounting style for hassle-free installation
• G1/8 connection port thread for wide compatibility
• Low-power consumption of 0.7W for energy efficiency
• LEDs signal status for fast diagnostics and troubleshooting

• Food processing plants
• Robotics systems
• Lumbermills

Yes, you can. It has an IP65 rating, indicating total protection from dust. It's also protected against strong jets of water, so you don't need to worry about any risk of damage from moisture.
