FESTO MFH-5-1/8-S 10348 Electron Magnetic Valve with External Pilot Air Supply and Aluminum Material

Product Description:

The FESTO MFH/JMFH series, known in the industry as the "Tiger Valve" due to its strong and reliable performance, is a classic range of pneumatic solenoid valves. These valves are engineered to provide high flow rates within a compact design, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of automation applications.

The MFH series consists of single solenoid valves with spring return, while the JMFH series comprises double solenoid valves with memory function. They are both designed for easy mounting, either directly on a sub-base or onto standardized ISO mounting interfaces (such as PAL or PRS systems) for modular valve terminal configurations. These valves are the perfect solution for controlling cylinders, grippers, and other pneumatic actuators.

Features:

High Flow in Compact Design: Optimized internal flow paths ensure excellent flow characteristics (e.g., Cv values up to ~1.8 or higher) despite the very small build size, enabling fast cylinder cycle times.

Exceptional Flexibility & Modularity:

• Multiple Functions: Available as 5/2-way, 5/3-way, and 3/2-way valves.
• Versatile Mounting: Can be installed individually via threaded ports or quickly snapped onto standardized valve manifolds, allowing for easy creation of multi-valve control stations.
• Interchangeable Coils: Solenoid coils are available separately in a wide range of voltages (e.g., 24V DC, 110V AC, 230V AC) and types (e.g., standard, low-wattage, manual override), providing great electrical compatibility.

Robustness and Reliability:

• Durable metal body (e.g., aluminum) ensures longevity and resistance in harsh industrial environments.
• High IP65 protection rating (when used with appropriate connector) guards against dust and water jets.
• Broad Compatibility: Operates effectively within a standard pressure range of 0.15 MPa to 0.9 MPa (1.5 to 9 bar), suitable for most common pneumatic systems.

Applications:

The MFH/JMFH Tiger Valve series is designed to be universally applicable across various industries. It is renowned for its reliability and compact power which make it an ideal choice for different applications.

In the realm of general factory automation, these valves are perfect for use in assembly machines, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, and CNC systems. They enable precise actuator control which is essential for smooth operations.

Automotive manufacturing facilities make use of these valves in welding, clamping, pressing, and testing stations on production lines. Their fast response times and steadfast reliability are crucial in environments where speed and reliability are paramount.

The MFH/JMFH Tiger Valve series plays a vital role in the control of auxiliary functions in injection molding machines, blow molders, and robotic handlers in the plastics and rubber machinery industry. Their compact design and dependable performance make them a popular choice.

Industries such as packaging and food & beverage find these valves suitable for controlling actuators in filling, capping, labeling, and sorting machines. However, it is important to note that specific material and certification requirements must be adhered to in these applications.
