Need to manage the flow of compressed air around your pneumatic network? Go for this 3/2 solenoid valve from Festo. It has an electric coil and an electromagnetic plunger that accurately and repeatedly opens or closes when a current is supplied. Thanks to switching times of 11ms for on and 40ms for off, you can be sure of a swift response to transmitted signals. The unit's die-cast aluminium body holds its own against corrosion and impact, making it fit for harsh environments. With a weight of just 244g, it won't put strain on your mounting rail.

• Standard G1/4 pneumatic ports for wide compatibility
• Operating pressure range between 2.5 and 10 bar for versatile use in both light-duty and mid-duty applications
• Nitrile rubber seals prevent leakages and block out contaminants like dust and moisture for optimal performance
• Manual override detents for quick intervention in emergencies

• Water treatment plants
• Food production industry
• Agricultural equipment

This is a monostable unit, meaning it's only energised when current passes through. It returns to its resting position when the charge is removed, making it a good choice for applications that need intermittent flow.
