Take charge of your system's airflow with this Festo solenoid pilot valve. It's a 5/3 type, meaning you get five ports and three switch positions, which is ideal for use with double-acting cylinders and safety systems. Don't worry about the device slowing your process down – its 20 to 38ms switching time means it directs air in a snap. Installation on a manifold rail is a breeze, thanks to its through-hole mounting style. An IP65 rating tells you the valve shakes off dust and low-pressure water jets to perform in harsh environments.

• Maximum flow rate of 1,450L/min ensures efficient operation
• Die-cast aluminium housing resists corrosion, so it's suitable for humid environments
• G1/4 threaded pneumatic connections for compatibility with standard fittings
• Low coil power consumption of 1.5W for energy-efficiency
• Narrow width of 18mm takes up minimal space on a busy manifold

• Processing plants
• Paper production
• Logistics industry

This unit works with both clean and lubricated compressed air, so it's a versatile part.
