MFH-5-1/8 9982 5/2-way Durable Festo Classic Tiger Valves G1/8 Aluminum Body

Product Description:

The FESTO MFH/JMFH series, known in the industry as the "Tiger Valve," is highly regarded for its durable and dependable performance, serving as a classic range of pneumatic solenoid valves. These valves are engineered to deliver high flow rates while maintaining an exceptionally compact design, making them an excellent option for various automation applications.

The MFH series consists of single solenoid valves with spring return, while the JMFH series includes double solenoid valves with memory function. Both variations are crafted for versatile mounting options, allowing for direct installation via sub-base or easy attachment to standardized ISO mounting interfaces (such as PAL or PRS systems) for creating modular valve terminal configurations. They are the preferred and proven choice for managing 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 highly versatile and can be utilized in a wide range of industries thanks to its dependable performance and compact design:

General Factory Automation: This valve series is perfect for applications in assembly machines, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, and CNC systems that require precise control of actuators.

Automotive Manufacturing: These valves are used in welding, clamping, pressing, and testing stations along production lines where speed and reliability are crucial.

Plastics and Rubber Machinery: They are employed to manage auxiliary functions in injection molding machines, blow molders, and robotic handlers.

Packaging and Food & Beverage Industry: The valves are suitable for controlling actuators in filling, capping, labeling, and sorting machines, provided they meet specific material and certification requirements.
