Festo 3/2 NC Monostable Air Solenoid Valve - G3/8

Monostable means the valve has one stable state (typically the default, closed position) which it returns to when the electrical actuation signal is removed. It requires continuous power to maintain its actuated state.

The Festo VUVS-L30-M32C-MZD-G38-F8 has a standard nominal flow rate of 2300 liters per minute (l/min).

The valve features a G3/8 pneumatic connection thread size.

Yes, this valve is designed for manifold mounting and is suitable for use with Festo VTUS manifold systems.

Standard filtered and lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air is recommended. Ensure the air meets the requirements for pneumatic components in your system to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

A '3/2 closed' valve means that when the valve is in its de-energized state, the pressure port is closed, and the output port is connected to the exhaust. An 'open' center valve would connect pressure to exhaust when de-energized.

No, this is an electrically actuated solenoid valve. The solenoid coil directly controls the valve's state when energized.

Check electrical connection to the coil. Verify control voltage matches the coil's requirement. Ensure the coil is not damaged. Confirm supply air pressure is within the operating range.

Ensure the valve is receiving adequate supply pressure. Check for internal wear or debris within the valve seat. Verify correct installation and sealing of pneumatic connections.

Confirm supply air quality (clean and dry). Check for obstructions in the pneumatic lines or actuators. Verify the nominal flow rate (2300 l/min) meets the application's demand. Ensure exhaust port is not restricted.

Verify electrical power is completely removed from the coil. Check for any mechanical binding or external forces preventing return. Ensure the internal spring mechanism is not damaged or obstructed.
