Festo has launched a new entry-level standard valve range, the VUVS series. The new valves are robust and durable, providing a long service life, and are extremely easy to mount, enabling machine builders and engineers to enhance the design of their systems.
The VUVS valves have very high flow rates for their size, of up to 2,000 l/min, with an operating pressure up to 10 bar, ingress protection to IP67and are available in optional ATEX variants. The valve range starts at 1/8” ports in a 20mm body and are simple to fit on any machine. They are ideal for vacuum and low-pressure applications such as simple clamping and locking operations in semiautomatic assembly, as well as larger production lines across all industries.
The VUVS valves are available with a wide range of accessories that make them exceptionally flexible in use and mounting. For example, they are offered with manifold rails and cover plates that enable the valves to be mounted in any orientation to best fit the machine. For additional flexibility, it is easy to change between internal or external pilot air connection, and the user can have multiple pressure zones on one manifold.
The VUVS valves are available with next day delivery, as pre-assembled units with silencers, fittings and coils, or as ready to install individual valves saving engineers time and associated costs with installation.
