Product Description
The Festo VOFX is a 3/2-way, normally closed, monostable pilot valve specifically designed for actuating Festo VZXF and VZXA angle seat valves . This valve is the ideal solution for applications where valve terminals are not economically or technically viable, offering a compact, direct-acting design with a detenting manual override for maintenance and setup convenience .
Key Features & Advantages:
Optimized for Angle Seat Valves: Dedicated pilot valve for VZXF and VZXA series angle seat valves, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable actuation .
Bypasses Valve Terminals: Perfect for stand-alone applications where a full valve terminal is not economically or technically justifiable, reducing system complexity and cost .
Detenting Manual Override: Features a latching (detenting) manual override, allowing the valve to be manually switched and locked in position for easy setup, troubleshooting, and maintenance .
Compact & Direct-Acting: With a compact 22 mm width and directly controlled poppet valve design, it offers fast response times and reliable operation without requiring a minimum pilot pressure .
Robust & Durable: Encased in a durable polyamide (PA) housing with NBR seals and IP65 protection, ensuring longevity in industrial environments .
High Switching Frequency: Satisfies high cycle requirements with very good reproducibility and a service life exceeding 5 billion switching cycles.
