Manifold rail VABM-C8

Product Description
The Festo VABM-C8 series manifold rail is a modular base rail designed for the VUVB-C8 valve terminal system, providing a common compressed air supply and exhaust channels for up to 32 valve positions. With a compact 12 mm grid dimension and G1/4 pneumatic connections, this wrought aluminum alloy manifold rail offers corrosion resistance class CRC 0 (no corrosion stress) and LABS (PWIS) conformity, making it suitable for demanding industrial automation environments .

Key Features & Advantages

• Flexible Configuration Options: Available in variants supporting 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, and 32 valve positions, accommodating system requirements from small assembly stations to large-scale pneumatic control applications .

• Compact 12 mm Grid Dimension: Standardized 12 mm spacing for valve mounting ensures precise alignment and efficient use of panel space, enabling high-density valve configurations .

• Robust Wrought Aluminum Alloy Construction: Durable wrought aluminum alloy material with RoHS compliance provides reliable structural integrity and long service life in industrial environments .

• Corrosion Resistance Class CRC 0 (No Corrosion Stress): Suitable for clean indoor environments with minimal corrosion risk, ensuring reliable operation in control cabinets and protected industrial settings .

• Multiple G1/4 Pneumatic Connections: Features G1/4 ports for primary compressed air supply (port 1), exhaust (port 3), and pilot exhaust (port 5), enabling flexible air distribution and external pilot supply options .

• LABS (PWIS) Conformity: Certified VDMA24364-B1/B2-L for paint-wetting impairment substances, making this manifold rail suitable for paint shop and coating applications .
