Festo AHB-MEB-B, Manual Override

The Festo AHB-MEB-B is a manual override designed for use with pneumatic valves in the AHB series. It allows operators or maintenance staff to actuate a valve manually when electrical control is unavailable or when testing and setup work is required. This makes it a practical component for commissioning, troubleshooting, and emergency operation. It is typically installed directly on the valve assembly and works as a mechanical backup rather than a permanent control method.

Unmatched Advantages of Buying the Festo AHB Series Manual Override

The role of this manual override is straightforward. When engaged, it mechanically shifts the valve, allowing airflow to change without relying on the solenoid signal.

• Manual valve actuation during setup or testing.
• System checks without powering the control circuit.
• Emergency operation during control failure.
• Helps technicians verify valve movement and system response.

Manual Override for Controlled Valve Operation

The AHB-MEB-B is designed for frequent use during maintenance tasks. Its compact form keeps it out of the way during normal operation, while still being easy to access when manual control is needed. The mechanical design ensures reliable engagement and disengagement, so the valve returns to normal automatic operation once the override is released.

Wide Application Range

This manual override is typically found in:

• Pneumatic control panels
• Industrial automation systems
• Packaging and assembly machinery
• Process equipment using AHB series valves
