Festo VUVG-L18-T32C-MZT-G14-1P3 Solenoid Valve (Order Code: 574434)

Product Overview

The Festo VUVG-L18-T32C-MZT-G14-1P3 is a high-flow 5/2-way solenoid valve engineered for precise directional control of heavy-duty pneumatic actuators in industrial automation systems. As a key component of Festo’s VUVG series, this valve is optimized for applications requiring fast, reliable actuation of double-acting cylinders, grippers, and rotary drives—such as automotive body assembly, material handling conveyors, and packaging machinery. Its modular design supports seamless integration with Festo valve manifolds, while its robust construction and low power consumption ensure stable operation in harsh manufacturing environments with high cycle rates. This valve delivers exceptional flow performance without compromising on energy efficiency, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale automation setups.

Main Functions

5/2-Way High-Flow Directional Control
- Operates as a monostable 5/2-way valve, switching compressed air flow between two output ports (A and B) to drive bidirectional motion of double-acting pneumatic actuators. When de-energized, the valve returns to its default position (spring return), ensuring fail-safe operation in case of power loss or control signal interruption.
- Delivers a maximum flow rate of 1500 L/min (at 6 bar inlet pressure), enabling rapid actuation of large-bore cylinders and heavy-load devices—critical for high-speed production lines with minimal cycle times.
- Supports a wide operating pressure range of 1.5–10 bar, adapting to both low-pressure precision systems and high-pressure heavy-duty applications without performance degradation.
Integrated Electrical Control & Status Monitoring
- Accepts a 24 V DC control signal, fully compatible with standard PLC digital output modules for direct integration into automated control systems. The plug-in M12 connector ensures tool-free, vibration-resistant wiring, reducing installation time and human error.
- Features a built-in LED status indicator for the solenoid coil, providing clear visual confirmation of energization status. Maintenance personnel can quickly diagnose power supply faults, signal issues, or valve malfunctions on-site without additional testing equipment.
Modular System Expansion & Flexibility
- Can be installed as a standalone unit or stacked on Festo VABM valve manifolds to create multi-valve control stations, eliminating redundant piping and simplifying pneumatic system layout. The standardized footprint enables quick replacement and system reconfiguration for flexible production needs.
- Compatible with Festo’s full range of pneumatic accessories, including flow regulators, exhaust mufflers, and check valves, to optimize performance for specific application requirements (e.g., noise reduction, flow control).

Technical Features

High-Speed Performance & Energy Efficiency
- Achieves a fast switching time of ≤ 12 ms for both valve opening and closing, ensuring precise synchronization of actuators in high-cycle automation processes. The balanced spool design minimizes internal friction, reducing wear and extending service life.
- Low power consumption: the solenoid coil consumes only 1.5 W of power, lowering energy usage in continuous operation scenarios and reducing overall system operating costs.
- Optimized flow path design minimizes pressure drop, ensuring maximum actuator speed even at moderate inlet pressures.
Robust Industrial Construction & Durability
- Housing Material: Die-cast aluminum alloy with a corrosion-resistant powder coating, providing excellent resistance to mechanical shock, vibration, and oil mist contamination in harsh manufacturing environments. Internal components are made of nickel-plated brass and stainless steel to ensure long-term reliability.
- Protection Class: IP65 (front side), preventing ingress of dust and water spray—suitable for use in washdown environments and outdoor automation stations with proper sealing.
- Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably in a range of -20 °C to +60 °C, maintaining stable performance in extreme temperature conditions such as cold storage facilities and high-heat welding cells.
- Service Life: Up to 50 million switching cycles under standard operating conditions, minimizing replacement frequency and unplanned maintenance downtime.
Compliance & Safety Certification
- Fully compliant with international standards including ISO 15407-2 (pneumatic directional control valves), IEC 60947-5-1 (industrial low-voltage switchgear), CE, and RoHS, ensuring global market compatibility and adherence to environmental regulations.
- Designed with reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection, safeguarding the valve and connected control systems from electrical faults and enhancing operational safety.

Weight

The net weight of the Festo VUVG-L18-T32C-MZT-G14-1P3 solenoid valve is approximately 0.78 kg, balancing robust construction with ease of handling during installation, maintenance, and system configuration.
