Product Description
The Festo VYKB is a media separated solenoid valve with a compact width of 10 mm or 12 mm (nominal width 1.6 mm or 2.0 mm), designed to control very small volumes of fluid (µl to ml) with high precision in dispensing, aspirating, and continuous flow applications . Featuring a separating diaphragm made from high-performance polymers such as EPDM, FKM, and FFKM, this valve is also suitable for aggressive media, while its integrated electronics with holding current reduction eliminate the need for an external E box .
Key Features & Advantages:
Compact Width of 10 mm and 12 mm for Large Nominal Widths: Available in 10 mm (NW 1.6 mm) and 12 mm (NW 2.0 mm) widths, delivering high flow rates in an exceptionally compact form factor for space-constrained applications .
For Dosing, Aspirating and Continuous Flow Applications: Supports three operating modes—dosing, aspirating, and continuous flow—making it highly versatile for laboratory automation, IVD, and fluid handling systems .
Very Easy to Clean Thanks to Media Separation: The media-separated design with a flexible diaphragm isolates the fluid from the valve mechanism, resulting in very low internal volume for excellent rinsability and minimised media consumption .
High-Quality Materials for Aggressive Media Compatibility: Utilises FDA-listed high-performance polymers (PEEK for body, PTFE for diaphragm, and EPDM/FKM/FFKM sealing options) that withstand even aggressive chemicals while preventing corrosion .
Developed According to ISO 13485: Manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management standards, supporting use in medical devices, laboratory automation, and in-vitro diagnostic equipment .
Integrated Electronics with Holding Current Reduction: Unlike the VYKA, the VYKB features onboard electronics with holding current reduction, preventing heating of sensitive media and reducing power consumption without an external E box .
Sustainable Operation Thanks to Efficient Control and Active Air Shut-Off: Efficient control combined with active air shut-off minimises energy consumption, supporting sustainable operation in continuous-use applications .
