Festo Introduces Durable, Low Cost Valves

Melissa Larson | February 18, 2015

Festo introduces the new VS series of piston-spool solenoid and pneumatic valves and valve manifolds. This new generation of individually wired valves is designed to give years of dependable service while helping OEMs lower the costs of acquisition, assembly, and inventory.

The high-flow rate VS series is ideal for simple clamping and locking operations in semiautomatic assembly, end-of-line packaging, conveying, painting, open-pit mining, woodworking, and other applications. The valves can be applied in explosive environments and can be modified to meet the IP67 standard for dust and immersion resistance.

The VS series is comprised of VUVS solenoid valves, VUWS pneumatic valves, and the VTUS valve manifolds. VS series flow rate ranges from 700 l/min to 2,000 l/min. Pressure ranges from 0-10 bar and from 2.5 to 10 bar for internally piloted valves. Valve types include 3/2, 5/2, and 5/3. Valve widths range from .79 inches (20 mm) to 1.2 inches (30 mm).

Festo will assemble ready-to-install valves to the OEM’s requirement complete with silencers, fittings, and coils. Festo will mount VTUS valve manifolds separately on a manifold rail and configure it to the OEM’s specifications. The Festo online system configurator makes ordering fast and simple.
