When you need a responsive control valve for use in your pneumatic system, opt for this durable 3/2 monostable valve from Festo. You can operate it either with a solenoid or an air pilot using electrical actuation. This allows it to work at high speed and offers the ability to control it remotely. The valve is fitted with a protective circuit to reduce the risk of damage, while a manual override function offers greater control if needed. Thanks to simple through-hole mounting, it helps you build a neat and compact system.

• Die-cast zinc housing combines strength with light weight
• IP65 (ingress protection) rated so it's dust-proof and will stand up to jets of water
• Nitrile rubber seals guard against leakage

• Driving pneumatic actuators
• Pressure release
• Vacuum systems

A 3/2 valve has three ports and two positions. 3/2 valves can be driven pneumatically, mechanically or with an electrically actuated solenoid valve.

A monostable valve uses a spring to return to its home position when not actuated. 3/2 monostable valves are available in normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations.
