Festo 3/2 Closed, Monostable Solenoid Valve - Electrical G 1/8 MHE3 Series, 525147

Use this solenoid valve from Festo to control the start-up and shut-down of industrial tools and cylinders. It reliably directs and stops the flow of compressed air and has a fast switching time for high levels of accuracy. The component features a robust metal housing that's resistant to corrosion, meaning it offers a reliably long working life. You benefit from precise control, as well as high flow and low leak rates, thanks to the unit's tried-and-tested poppet valves. This component is suitable for operating in pressures ranging from -0.9 bar to 8 bar.

• Includes rust-resistant galvanised steel screws for mounting
• Resistant to shock and vibration, so well-suited to harsh industrial environments
• IP65 (ingress protection) rated enclosure that's dust-tight and water-resistant
• Reversible flow direction, with restrictions, for improved versatility in use
• Includes spark arresting, protective circuit and reduction of holding current functions

• Irrigation systems
• Heating and cooling systems
• Car washes and industrial cleaning equipment

If a valve is monostable, like this one from Festo, it means the component uses a spring mechanism to automatically return to its default position of normally closed when it's not actuated.
