Festo 3/2 Closed Monostable Solenoid Valve Electrical G 1/8 VUVS Series

The Festo VUVS-L20-M32C-MZD-G18-F7-1C1 is a 3/2-way, normally closed, monostable solenoid valve designed for reliable control of compressed air in pneumatic systems. It is used to switch airflow on and off for cylinders, actuators, and small pneumatic functions that require precise control and repeatable operation. This valve belongs to the VUVS series, known for its compact design and stable performance in automation environments. It is commonly installed in control cabinets, machine frames, and modular valve assemblies.

Notable Advantages of Investing in the Festo 3/2 Closed Monostable Solenoid Valve Electrical

In its normal state, the valve remains closed. When the solenoid is energised, the valve switches and allows air to flow. Once power is removed, the internal spring returns the valve to its default position. This operating principle makes it suitable for applications requiring a defined fail-safe position.

• 3/2-way function.
• Normally closed design.
• Monostable spring return.
• Electrical solenoid actuation.
• Compact VUVS housing.
• Standard G 1/8 threaded ports.
• Suitable for panel or inline mounting.
• Designed for industrial compressed air systems.

Mechanical and Connection Design

The valve features a G 1/8 pneumatic connection, making it compatible with standard industrial air fittings and tubing setups. Its compact body allows it to fit into tight spaces without affecting service access or airflow routing. The construction is designed for long service life under continuous switching conditions, which is typical in automated production and assembly systems.

Typical Uses in Automation Systems
