FAQs

What is the flow rate of this valve?

The Festo VUVG-B14-T32C-AZT-F-1R8L has a standard nominal flow rate of 510-600 l/min and a maximum flow rate of 600 L/min.

What does 'monostable' mean for this valve?

Monostable means the valve has one stable position (normally closed in this case) and requires continuous electrical power to shift to and hold the other position. When power is removed, it automatically returns to its stable state.

Can this valve be used in a manifold?

Yes, the E-box connection technology allows this valve to be used effectively as part of a valve manifold system.

What type of pneumatic connection does it have?

This model features a flange pneumatic working port.

What is the required voltage for operation?

The valve operates on 24V DC.

Is this valve normally open or normally closed?

This is a normally closed (NC) valve, meaning it is shut when de-energized and opens when energized.

What is the primary function of a 2x3/2 valve configuration?

A 2x3/2 valve typically has two pressure inputs and three output ports. It's commonly used for controlling single-acting actuators or pilot-signaling other valves.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not actuate.

Check 24V DC power supply connection and voltage. Ensure the electrical signal is correctly applied to the coil. Verify the `control` signal is active.

Air leaks from the valve.

Inspect pneumatic connections for tightness. Check seals and gaskets for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure proper mounting to the manifold or base.

Slow actuator response.

Verify that the nominal flow rate of the valve (510-600 l/min) meets the requirements of the connected actuator. Check for any restrictions in the pneumatic lines. Ensure adequate air supply pressure.

Valve fails to return to normally closed state.

Confirm that power has been removed from the coil. Ensure no back pressure is preventing the return stroke. Check for internal obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional flow intensity for its size.
  • Space-saving design is beneficial for compact control panels.
  • Versatile connection options for individual or manifold use.
  • Reliable electrical actuation for automated processes.
  • Durable construction suitable for industrial environments.

Cons

  • Monostable nature means it requires continuous power to remain actuated.
  • Normally closed function may not be suitable for all applications.
  • Specific voltage (24V DC) requirement limits compatibility without converters.
  • Flange connection may require specific mounting hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the valve is mounted securely using the flange connection.
  2. Connect pneumatic lines to the appropriate ports, ensuring correct sealing.
  3. Wire the electrical connection according to the 24V DC specifications.
  4. Verify correct air pressure and flow direction before initial energization.

Compatibility:

  • Electrical: Requires a 24V DC power supply.
  • Pneumatic: Compatible with standard compressed air systems. Ensure media compatibility.
  • Manifold Systems: Can be integrated into Festo VUVG manifold systems using appropriate base plates.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect for air leaks.
  • Keep the valve and surrounding area clean.
  • Avoid exposure to corrosive environments or excessive moisture.
  • Periodically check electrical connections for security.
