Festo Air Solenoid Valve - 3/2 NO Monostable - G3/8 - 3000l/min

A monostable valve requires continuous electrical power to maintain its actuated state. When the power is removed, a spring mechanism returns the valve to its default, de-energized position.

'3/2' indicates the valve has 3 ports and 2 positions. 'NO' means 'Normally Open', signifying that air flows through the valve in its de-energized state until it is electrically actuated.

This valve is specifically designed for compressed air applications. Using it with liquids may cause damage and is not recommended.

While the product description does not specify maximum pressure, solenoid valves of this type typically operate within a range of 1.5 to 10 bar. Always refer to the official Festo datasheet for precise specifications.

Check your system's pneumatic connection size (ensure it is G3/8), the required flow rate, the control voltage for the solenoid, and the type of pneumatic control needed (3-port, 2-position, normally open).

The CPE series is designed for compatibility with both lubricated and non-lubricated compressed air, offering flexibility in system maintenance.

This valve is designed for universal application as an individual unit. For complex sequences requiring multiple valves, consider using a Festo valve manifold system for more integrated solutions.

Verify electrical connections, ensure correct voltage is supplied to the solenoid, and check for any obstructions in the air passages.

Check for back pressure on the exhaust port or ensure the solenoid coil is fully de-energized. Verify air supply is within specifications.

Ensure the valve's flow rate (3000 l/min) is adequate for the actuator size. Check for restrictions in tubing or at the actuator ports. Verify air supply pressure is sufficient.

This is normal operation for a 3/2 valve. If leaks occur when not actuated, check seals or consider if the valve is the correct type for the application.
