New Original Festo 152617 VPEV-W-S-LED-GH Vacuum Switch: Detailed Introduction
Product Overview
The Festo 152617 (VPEV-W-S-LED-GH) is a precision vacuum switch designed for reliable detection of negative pressure (vacuum) in pneumatic systems. As part of Festo’s VPEV series, it converts vacuum pressure into an electrical signal, making it ideal for automated quality control, object detection, and process monitoring in industrial automation. Its compact design, adjustable setpoint range, and clear visual feedback make it suitable for material handling, packaging, and pick-and-place applications where reliable vacuum verification is critical.
Key Functions
- Vacuum Level Monitoring: Continuously measures and monitors negative pressure within its operating range, triggering a switch signal when the setpoint is reached.
- Setpoint Adjustment: Allows precise calibration of the vacuum threshold to match specific application requirements (e.g., detecting secure gripping of components).
- Electrical Output: Provides a switchable electrical signal (SPDT changeover contact) for integration with PLCs, controllers, or alarm systems.
- Status Indication: Equipped with a yellow LED to visually confirm vacuum switch status (active/inactive) for quick troubleshooting.
- Overload Protection: Designed to withstand temporary overpressure up to 8 bar, ensuring durability in variable pneumatic environments.
