Product Information

Full details

The Festo VUVG-B18-M52-RZT-F-1R8L is a compact 5/2 monostable air solenoid valve designed for industrial automation. Its primary benefit is exceptional flow intensity (1000 l/min) within a space-efficient footprint, ideal for applications with tight spatial constraints. A key consideration is its monostable nature, meaning it returns to its default state when power is removed, which must be accounted for in system design.

FAQs

What is a 5/2 monostable valve?

A 5/2 monostable valve has five ports and two stable positions. It is controlled by a single solenoid; when the solenoid is energized, the valve shifts to one position. When power is removed from the solenoid, an internal spring returns the valve to its original, default position.

What is the maximum flow rate of this valve?

The maximum nominal flow rate for the VUVG-B18-M52-RZT-F-1R8L is 1000 liters per minute (l/min).

What is the operating pressure range?

The valve operates within a pressure range of -0.9 bar to 10 bar.

What is the solenoid power consumption?

The solenoid has a power consumption of 1W.

Can this valve be used in very cold environments?

The operating temperature range is -5°C to +60°C. It is not recommended for use below -5°C.

Is this valve suitable for manifold mounting?

Yes, the VUVG valve is designed to be suitable for both individual and manifold applications.

What material is the valve body made from?

The valve body is constructed from an Aluminium Alloy.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not actuate when solenoid is energized.

Verify electrical connection to the solenoid. Check if the correct voltage is applied. Ensure the solenoid is not overheated or damaged. Confirm that the control signal is valid.

Valve does not return to its default position when power is removed.

Check for sufficient spring force. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the valve spool from returning. Verify that the pneumatic exhaust ports are not blocked.

Air leaks from pneumatic ports.

Inspect pneumatic connections for tightness. Check seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the valve is not operated outside its specified pressure range.

Reduced or inconsistent flow rate.

Check for blockages in the pneumatic supply line or at the valve ports. Ensure the valve is not operated below the minimum specified pressure. Clean any debris from the valve internals if accessible and safe to do so.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flow rate for quick pneumatic response.
  • Compact form factor saves valuable space.
  • Robust Aluminium Alloy construction ensures durability.
  • Flexible for individual or manifold mounting.
  • Electrical connection box simplifies wiring.

Cons

  • Monostable design requires specific control logic.
  • Requires a stable operating temperature between -5°C and +60°C.
  • Maximum flow rate of 1000 l/min may be excessive for very small applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the valve is correctly oriented according to pneumatic flow direction indicated on the body. Connect pneumatic lines securely to the flange ports. Wire the electrical connection box (E-box) according to the solenoid's voltage and signal requirements. Apply power to the solenoid to actuate the valve; it will return to its default position when power is removed.

Compatibility: This 5/2 monostable valve is compatible with standard pneumatic control systems. It operates with a solenoid power consumption of 1W. Ensure your control system can provide the necessary electrical signal and that the operating pressure and temperature are within the specified limits (-0.9 bar to 10 bar and -5°C to +60°C, respectively).

Care: Keep the valve clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners on the Aluminium Alloy body. Periodically check pneumatic connections for leaks. Ensure the electrical connections in the E-box remain secure and free from corrosion.
