Push airflow around your machinery in the right direction with this 5/2 bistable pneumatic manual control valve from Festo. Reverse operation is possible with this device, so it's ideal for a pneumatic setup that needs pressure build-up to be relieved. With a broad operating temperature range between -10°C and +60°C, it stands up to the demands of challenging operations. Rugged wrought aluminium alloy housing resists mechanical wear and corrosion, meaning you can be sure of the valve's durability.

• Mountable in any position, so it's highly versatile
• Integrated manual override by detenting allows for a quick stop in an emergency
• Lubricated operation possible for smoother movement and minimal friction

• Mining equipment
• Printing presses
• Robotics systems

A bistable valve like this one maintains its position when you switch it, so you can reset it between two states. A monostable valve typically comes with a mechanical spring reset that automatically returns it to its resting position.

Mounting is done simply by screwing compatible connectors into the threaded G1/8 ports.
