Product Description
The Festo S and SO series are mechanically actuated 3/2-way valves featuring integrated push-in connectors (PK-3) for 3 mm plastic tubing, with through-holes in the housing for direct panel or machine mounting . Available in polymer or aluminium housing designs depending on the variant, these monostable valves are actuated via stem plunger and offer a wide operating pressure range from -0.95 to 8 bar, making them suitable for both vacuum and positive pressure applications .
Key Features & Advantages:
Through-Holes in Housing: Integrated through-holes enable direct mounting onto panels, machine frames, or brackets without requiring additional mounting accessories, simplifying installation and reducing hardware costs .
Integrated Push-in Connector: Features PK-3 barbed fitting connections for 3 mm OD plastic tubing, eliminating the need for separate fittings and reducing potential leak points in compact pneumatic systems .
3/2 Normally Open or Normally Closed Function: Available in both 3/2-way normally open (SO series) and normally closed (S series) configurations with mechanical spring return, providing failsafe default position when the actuator is not engaged .
Polymer or Aluminium Design: Offers material flexibility with polymer (POM/brass) housing for lightweight applications or aluminium housing for increased mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments .
Vacuum Capable: Suitable for vacuum operation down to -0.95 bar, expanding application possibilities for pick-and-place systems, suction cups, and material handling equipment .
