Looking for a way to control the flow of air, gas or liquid in your pressurised systems? This 5-port, 2-way bistable solenoid valve from Festo regulates high rates of flow to ensure the optimal performance of compressed systems. The HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber) and nitrile butadiene rubber soft-seal valves prevent leaks to effectively and reliably direct gas or liquid flows. As it weighs only 89g, the component is lightweight and compact, so it's easy to handle and install in confined spaces.

• Wrought aluminium alloy withstands corrosion for a long service life
• Detenting, pushing and covering manual override options simplify the setup and testing of the unit
• Electrical actuation delivers fast response times to prevent lapses in performance

• Pneumatic cylinders
• Turbines and compressed-air motors
• Mechanical diaphragms and tubes

When mated with the plug socket, this Festo bistable valve carries an IP65 (ingress protection) rating. This means the enclosure protects internal components from low-pressure water jets, condensation and water sprays and makes it suitable for use in harsh and damp industrial settings.
