Need a handy multitasker to support your complex compressed air operation? Choose this solenoid pilot valve from Festo. Its 5/3 design delivers fully pneumatic operation with the benefit of a closed function. This means air can't get in or out when there's no actuating signal, so you have the ability to stop the system in safety-critical jobs. A throttleable exhaust function protects your equipment by blowing off some steam if the air pressure gets too high. This is a widely compatible option, as its coil is energised by 24V DC.

• Standard flow rate of 750L/min to support demanding applications
• Responsive switching-on time of 20ms means your equipment is up and running promptly
• IP65 rating means it's completely dust-tight and withstands low-pressure water sprays from any direction
• Hard-wearing aluminium body shrugs off mechanical stress, impact and abrasion to deliver a long service life

• Pharmaceutical production
• Aerospace engineering
• Process automation

This solenoid pilot valve has M3 ports, so you'll have no trouble linking to standard pneumatic equipment.

It weighs in at just 120g, so it doesn't add excess load to your setup.
