Festo VUVG-B18-B52-ZT-F-1P3, 5/2 Bistable Solenoid Valve Electrical

The Festo VUVG-B18-B52-ZT-F-1P3 is a 5/2 bistable solenoid valve from the VUVG series, used to control the direction of compressed air in pneumatic systems. It switches the airflow between two positions and remains in its last position until the opposite coil is energised. This makes it suitable for applications where the valve must hold its state even if power is removed. This valve is typically installed in automation panels, machine assemblies, and production equipment where reliable directional air control is required.

Salient Features and Benefits of the Festo VUVG-B18 Solenoid Valve Electrical Manifold Mount

The valve controls double-acting pneumatic actuators such as cylinders. The bistable design allows the actuator to remain extended or retracted without continuous electrical power.

• Two switching positions.
• Bistable operation with memory function.
• Designed for directional air control.
• Reduces energy use.
• Prevents unwanted movement during power interruptions.

Design and Installation Characteristics

The compact B18 body size makes this valve easy to integrate into space-restricted control cabinets or valve terminals. It is designed for fast switching and consistent performance during repeated cycles, which is essential in automated production environments. The electrical solenoid actuation allows clean and predictable control when connected to PLCs or industrial controllers.

Typical Uses of this Solenoid Valve

This valve is widely used in:

• Automated assembly lines
• Pneumatic cylinder control
• Packaging and material handling systems
• Industrial machinery and production equipment
