Solenoid coil VACC

Product Description
The Festo VACC series are solenoid coils designed for actuating Festo valves, specifically engineered for use with 13 mm or 18 mm armature guide tubes . Available with different types of explosion protection (Ex ia, Ex e mb, Ex db) for use in hazardous areas, these coils operate with very low power consumption, featuring a built-in current pulse generator or bridge rectifier for efficient switching . They are intended for use with compressed air only and can be combined with specified solenoid valves in zones 1 and 2 for explosive gas atmospheres and zones 21 and 22 for explosive dust atmospheres .

Key Features & Advantages

• Multiple Explosion Protection Types: Available in Ex ia (intrinsically safe), Ex e mb (increased safety encapsulated), and Ex db (flameproof enclosure) variants to suit different hazardous area requirements .

• Very Low Power Consumption (Down to 1.1 W): The Ex ia versions consume only 220 to 1100 mW, making them highly energy-efficient and suitable for intrinsically safe circuits . Versions for general use are available with power ratings of 1.8 W, 3.5 W, 7 W, and 12 W .

• Wide Voltage Range (14 to 230 V DC/AC): Compatible with both direct and alternating current (40-65 Hz), supporting voltages such as 14-32 V DC, 24 V DC/AC, 48 V DC, 60 V DC/AC, 110 V DC/AC, and 230 V DC/AC .

• Integrated Protective Circuits: Features built-in current pulse generators or bridge rectifiers, and in some models, a fuse (IEC 60127) is either integrated or must be connected in series .

• Flexible Connections with Degree of Protection IP65/IP66: Equipped with M20x1.5 cable entry (for cable OD 7-13 mm) or NPT 1/2 threaded cable glands, achieving degree of protection up to IP65 or IP66 .

• Corrosion Resistance Class CRC 0 to 4: Offered with different material qualities, including specially protected variants with CRC 4 (particularly high corrosion stress) for aggressive environments .

Available Variants

The VACC series includes numerous variants for various applications. Basic versions without explosion protection (e.g., VACC-S13-18-A1-1) are available for standard industrial environments . High-performance versions with very low power consumption for safety-related and harsh environments are also available (e.g., VACC-S13-11-K4-1-EX4A) .

Ideal For

Hazardous areas requiring ATEX and IECEx certified equipment (zones 1, 2, 21, 22) , pneumatic valves from Festo (e.g., VOFC, VOFD, VTOC) , industrial automation in chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical plants, and general pneumatic control applications.

Why Choose FESTO VACC?

Choose the Festo VACC solenoid coil for its comprehensive ATEX certification (Ex ia, Ex e mb, Ex db), extremely low power consumption (1.1 W) for intrinsic safety, robust IP65/IP66 protection against environmental ingress, and high corrosion resistance (CRC 4) ensuring reliable actuation in hazardous industrial environments.
