Festo VZQA Series Tube Pinch Valve, 15mm Tube Inlet Port, 3022833

The VZQA pneumatic actuated pinch valve is a 2 way valve fitting and is used for controlling the flow of different materials in the tubing or pipe. The valve is either open or closed, both ensure that there is minimum flow resistance and help prevent the fitting becoming blocked or clogged up.

An open valve enables free flowing material, however the sleeve will close when the fitting is pressurised, therefore shutting off the flow in the tube or pipe. This is ideal for shutting off liquids containing solid particles or solid materials.

A closed valve will open when the valve is pressurised, which releases the flow of material in the tube or pipe, and then will close again when the pressure stops due to the spring in the fitting. This valve is ideal for use with liquid or gases such as air.

• Normally open (N/O) and normally closed (N/C) options
• Simple and easy to install
• Pneumatic fittings valve
• Easy to clean hygienic design
• Elastomer pinch valve sleeve shut off
• Sealing cartridge can be replaced without specialist tools
• Multiple connector variants

This pinch valve is pneumatically actuated and designed for precise control of airflow and fluid motion. The valve features a tube inlet measuring 15mm, making it suitable for various applications requiring compact yet effective solutions. Crafted from high-alloy stainless steel, it ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.

• Soft sealing principle enhances tightness and performance
• Operating pressure ranges from 0.1 MPa to 0.65 MPa
• Equipped with a reversible flow direction for flexibility
• Suitable for media temperatures from -5°C to 100°C
• Efficient flow rate of 5m³/h for optimal performance

• Used for controlling compressed air in automation systems
• Ideal for fluids in food processing
• Designed for operation in industrial environments
• Utilised in production processes of Li-ion batteries
• Effective in pneumatic control systems for machinery

The burst pressure is rated at 1.6 MPa, or 16 bar, allowing it to handle high-stress conditions without failure, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Yes, it has undergone testing for vacuum applications up to -0.09 MPa, but a counter-vacuum may be necessary on the control side to maintain media flow depending on the setup.

The valve is designed to receive compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1, ensuring optimal performance in pneumatic systems.

Weighing 559g, it is manageable for in-line installations, ensuring minimal impact on system dynamics while being easy to handle during setup.
