Festo Monostable Air Solenoid Valve - 2x3/2 - NO/NC - Flange - 150 - 170l/min

The Festo VUVG-B10-T32H-AZT-F-1P3 has a standard nominal flow rate of 150-170 liters per minute (l/min).

This valve is designed for manifold mounting but can also be used individually if the appropriate pneumatic connections are made.

Monostable means the valve has one stable position (its default state) and requires continuous electrical power to move to and maintain the other position. When power is removed, it automatically returns to its stable state.

It features a flange pneumatic working port suitable for manifold integration.

It is suitable for various industrial automation tasks requiring precise pneumatic control, such as actuating cylinders, grippers, and air-powered tools, particularly where space is limited.

The valve is electrically actuated, meaning it responds to an electrical signal.

A 2x3/2 valve has two inputs (supply and pilot) and three outputs (work port 1, work port 2, exhaust). A 5/2 valve typically has two inputs and five ports (two work ports, two exhausts, and a supply). The 2x3/2 configuration is often used for single-acting cylinders or specialized control.

Verify electrical connection and ensure the correct voltage is supplied. Check for any obstructions at the solenoid coil. Confirm the signal type matches the valve's requirements.

Check pneumatic connections for tightness. Inspect seals and O-rings for damage. Ensure the valve is not over-pressurized or under-pressurized according to its specifications.

Ensure the compressed air supply is adequate and clean. Check for restrictions in the air lines or exhaust ports. Verify the flow rate does not exceed the valve's specified capacity.

Confirm the monostable function; this is expected behavior. If it fails to return from the actuated state when power is removed, check for internal obstructions or if a bistable valve was mistakenly ordered.
