Festo 5/2 Bistable Solenoid Valve Electrical VUVG Series

The Festo VUVG-B10-B52-ZT-F-1P3 is a 5/2 bistable solenoid valve designed to control compressed air in automated pneumatic systems. It is part of the VUVG series, commonly used in machinery, production lines, and control panels where reliable directional air control is required. Once switched, the valve stays in position until it receives the next signal, even if power is removed. This makes it suitable for systems where holding the last valve state is essential during power loss or stop conditions.

Exceptional Advantages of the Festo VUVG Series Solenoid Valve Electrical

This is a bistable 5/2 valve, meaning it controls two output ports and switches between two stable positions. Each position is maintained mechanically, not electrically.

• Air cylinders to remain extended or retracted after switching.
• Reduced power consumption since the coil is only energised during switching.
• Stable operation in automated sequences.
• Compact footprint for dense valve arrangements.
• Reliable switching under continuous operation.
• Designed for industrial compressed air systems.

Compact Design for Panel and Machine Integration

The valve body is compact and built for tight installation spaces. It integrates easily into modern pneumatic layouts without complex mounting requirements. Electrical actuation ensures fast response times, while the internal sealing design supports consistent airflow and repeatable switching. It is suited for clean, dry compressed air environments as used in standard industrial automation.

Wide Application Range

It is chosen when predictable valve positioning and low energy use are more critical than spring-return behaviour.

• Automated production machinery
• Pneumatic cylinder control systems
• Packaging and assembly lines
• Industrial control panels
• Process automation equipment
