Product Description
The Festo VUVB-12 series is a versatile and compact solenoid valve designed for reliable pneumatic control in a wide range of industrial automation applications. With a 12 mm valve size and a robust poppet valve design with mechanical spring return, this valve delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 240 to 400 liters per minute, supporting a broad range of airflow demands. Featuring IP65 protection against dust and water jets, and constructed with a durable PA-reinforced housing, the VUVB-12 ensures reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Advantages:
-
Compact 12 mm Width: Extremely space-saving design, with a single width of 12 mm and a double width of 24 mm for dual solenoid variants, enabling high-density mounting on valve manifolds
-
High Flow Capacity: Provides a standard nominal flow rate of 240 to 400 l/min, driven by a 4 mm nominal width, ensuring efficient actuation of pneumatic cylinders and other equipment
-
Multiple Valve Functions: Available as 5/2-way monostable (single solenoid with spring return), 5/2-way bistable (double solenoid), and 3/2-way normally closed or open configurations, offering flexibility for various control tasks
-
Robust Construction & High Durability: Features a poppet valve design with a mechanical return spring, reinforced PA housing, and NBR/TPE-U(PU) seals, ensuring long service life and reliable operation
-
High Protection Class: Rated IP65, providing excellent ingress protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments and washdown areas
-
Wide Operating Pressure Range: Operates efficiently within a pressure range of 2 bar to 8 bar, accommodating a variety of pneumatic system requirements
-
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Rated with Corrosion Resistance Class (CRC) 0, offering no corrosion stress and ensuring long-term durability even in demanding settings
-
LABS (PWIS) Conformity: Complies with VDMA24364-B1/B2-L standards, making it ideal for sensitive applications like paint shops where paint-wetting impairment substances are prohibited
-
Low Power Consumption: Powered by a 24V DC coil with a consumption of only 1.0 W, reducing energy costs and heat generation
-
Fast Switching Speeds: Features an on-switching time of 6 ms and an off-switching time of 14 ms for the 3/2-way valves, enabling high-speed automation cycles
-
Flexible Manual Override: Equipped with a manual override that can be detenting (locking) or non-detenting (momentary), allowing for easy setup, testing, and manual operation without electrical power
-
Vacuum Compatibility: Select models can operate with external pilot air, allowing the main valve to control vacuum or low-pressure systems down to 0 bar
-
Sub-Base Mounting: Designed for easy mounting on individual sub-bases or integrated valve terminals, simplifying installation and maintenance
-
RoHS Compliant: Manufactured without restricted hazardous substances and free of copper and PTFE, meeting stringent environmental compliance standards
