FAQs

What type of valve is the Festo VUVS-L20-M52-MD-G18-F7?

It is a 5/2 monostable solenoid valve designed for pneumatic control.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The maximum operating pressure is 10 bar.

What are the pneumatic connection sizes?

The pneumatic connections are G1/8.

Can this valve be used on a manifold?

Yes, it is suitable for use as an individual unit or as part of a Festo VTUS manifold system.

What is the solenoid's power consumption?

The solenoid has a power consumption of 1W.

What is the operating temperature range?

The valve can operate in temperatures from -10°C to +60°C.

What is the nominal flow rate?

The standard nominal flow rate is 700 l/min.

Is this a bistable or monostable valve?

This is a monostable valve, meaning it requires continuous electrical power to hold one of its two states.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not actuate electrically.

Verify electrical connection, check voltage supply to the solenoid, and ensure the solenoid is not faulty. Confirm operating temperature is within range.

Insufficient air flow or pressure.

Check for leaks in pneumatic lines, ensure the air supply pressure is within the 2.5-10 bar range, and confirm the valve's nominal flow rate (700 l/min) meets the application's demand. Inspect G1/8 connections for obstructions.

Valve fails to switch between states.

Ensure continuous power is supplied to the solenoid for actuation. Check for internal obstructions or contamination within the valve. Verify correct port connections.

Erratic operation.

Check for unstable air pressure, electrical signal fluctuations, or excessive heat. Ensure the valve is within its operating temperature range (-10°C to +60°C).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with a die-cast aluminum body.
  • Reliable electrical actuation for automated processes.
  • Suitable for a wide range of operating pressures (2.5-10 bar).
  • Compact valve size (21 mm) for easier integration.
  • Flexible use as an individual unit or within a manifold system.

Cons

  • G1/8 pneumatic connections may not be suitable for very high flow rate applications.
  • Monostable design requires continuous power to maintain one state.
  • Solenoid power consumption of 1W, while low, is a consideration for power-sensitive systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pneumatic supply meets the operating pressure range (2.5-10 bar) and is clean and dry.
  2. Connect the appropriate G1/8 pneumatic lines to the pressure, outlet, and exhaust ports as per the circuit diagram.
  3. Connect the electrical connection to the solenoid, ensuring voltage compatibility (check solenoid specifications).
  4. Mount the valve securely, either as an individual unit or onto a VTUS manifold base.

Compatibility:

  • Pneumatic Connections: G1/8 threaded ports.
  • Electrical Actuation: Compatible with standard industrial control voltages (verify specific solenoid requirements).
  • Manifold System: Designed for integration with Festo VTUS manifold systems.

Care:

  • Regularly check pneumatic connections for leaks.
  • Ensure the air supply is filtered to prevent contaminants from entering the valve.
  • Clean the exterior of the valve with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using solvents.
  • Monitor operating temperature to stay within the -10°C to +60°C range.
