Festo VPEV Series Vacuum Switch, 250V Voltage, IP65 - VPEV-1/8, Numeric Part Number:150261


This vacuum switch provides pneumatic-to-electrical switching for monitoring negative and low positive pressures in compressed Air systems. It is intended for industrial automation and pneumatic control tasks where a compact, electrically‑connected sensor with Visual status indication is required.

Features & Benefits


• Pressure range supports -1bar to 1.6bar enabling wide monitoring
• IP65 enclosure permits use in dusty or water‑spray environments
• LED indicator gives immediate switching status feedback
• Max. switching output 250V and current 5000mA suits common loads
• Operating temperature -20°C to 80°C allows high-temperature applications

Applications


• Suitable for monitoring vacuum levels in pick‑and‑place systems
• Ideal for control of suction cups in robotic handling
• Used for safety interlocks in pneumatic packaging machinery
• Can be used for pressure threshold detection in compressed‑air networks

What electrical connection format does it use?


It connects via a DIN43650‑compatible plug Interface for straightforward wiring to control circuits.

How frequently can the switch operate without performance loss?


It is rated for switching at up to 3Hz, appropriate for intermittent vacuum cycling tasks.

Which media can be measured with this device?


It is designed for compressed Air conforming to ISO 8573‑1:2010 with specified cleanliness class 7:4:4 and permits lubricated operation when specified.

What mechanical mounting options are available?


The unit uses a G1/8 pneumatic port and is mounted using through‑holes with no fixed orientation requirement.
