Festo CPE18-M1H-3GL-1/4 Air Solenoid Valve (Order Number: 163141)

Product Overview

The Festo CPE18-M1H-3GL-1/4 is a high-performance 3/2-way normally closed (NC) single-solenoid air valve, a core member of Festo’s CPE product series. Engineered for precision and durability, this solenoid valve is tailored to control compressed air in industrial automation scenarios, ranging from pneumatic cylinder actuation and material handling systems to automated assembly lines and packaging machinery. Its compact footprint and robust construction allow seamless integration into both standalone setups and centralized valve terminal configurations, making it a versatile choice for engineers aiming to optimize space utilization and operational efficiency. With low power consumption and stable switching performance, it delivers consistent results even under continuous-duty operating conditions, reducing energy costs and minimizing unplanned downtime for industrial facilities.

Main Functions

3/2-way Directional Air Control

As a monostable 3/2-way valve, it operates in two distinct positions. When energized, it establishes a connection between the inlet port (Port 1) and the working port (Port 2), enabling compressed air to flow to the pneumatic actuator. When de-energized, it shuts off the inlet port and connects the working port (Port 2) to the exhaust port (Port 3), releasing residual air from the actuator to achieve a reset state.
Rapid Switching Capability

It features ultra-short opening and closing response times, ensuring quick actuation of connected pneumatic components. This characteristic shortens machine cycle times and enhances the overall productivity of automated production processes.
Lockable Manual Override

Equipped with a lockable manual override function, the valve allows for manual operation without electrical power. This function is particularly useful during system commissioning, maintenance testing, or emergency shutdowns, enabling technicians to verify component functionality safely.
Air-spring Reset Mechanism

The integrated air-spring reset system ensures reliable and consistent valve position restoration after the solenoid is de-energized, eliminating the need for additional mechanical springs and reducing wear and tear over the valve’s service life.
Universal Installation Flexibility

The valve supports installation in any orientation—vertical, horizontal, or upside-down—without compromising performance. It is also compatible with on-cylinder mounting and manifold mounting, adapting to diverse layout requirements of automation systems.

Structural Highlights

Piston Slide Valve Design

The piston slide structure ensures smooth and stable switching, with minimal internal friction and wear, extending the valve’s service life to over 100 million cycles under standard operating conditions.
Die-cast Aluminum Housing

The housing is made of high-strength die-cast aluminum, which provides excellent mechanical rigidity and corrosion resistance, making the valve suitable for harsh industrial environments with dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
Low Leakage Performance

The NBR soft sealing design minimizes air leakage at all ports, reducing energy waste and ensuring compliance with strict industrial energy efficiency standards.
Plug-and-Play Electrical Connection

The Type C plug-in connection allows for fast and error-free electrical wiring, simplifying installation and replacement processes, and reducing downtime during maintenance.
