Festo CPE18-M1H-5L-1/4 Solenoid Valve (Part No. 163142)
"*" indicates required fields
The Festo CPE18-M1H-5L-1/4 is a high-performance pneumatic solenoid valve and is part of Festo’s highly regarded CPE (Compact Performance) series. This valve is specifically designed to offer an excellent flow rate in a compact form factor, making it ideal for automation systems where space efficiency and high performance are crucial.
The primary function of this model is 5/2-way monostable, often referred to as a single solenoid spring return valve. This means the valve has five ports and two positions. It is actuated electrically by a single solenoid coil and utilizes a mechanical return spring to revert the valve back to its initial position when the electrical signal is removed. This mechanism ensures a defined, fail-safe starting position.
Technically, the CPE18-M1H-5L-1/4 operates using a 24V DC power supply for the coil. It delivers a high nominal flow rate, typically around 1500 liters per minute, allowing for fast and powerful control of pneumatic actuators. It features standard G 1/4-inch threaded ports for connecting to the air lines. The valve is rated for an operating pressure between 2 and 10 bar and holds an IP65 degree of protection, which confirms its suitability for use in industrial environments requiring resistance to dust and low-pressure water jets.
