Compact 18mm electrically actuated 5/3 closed piston spool valve. Delivers 1400 l/min flow at -0.9 to 10 bar. IP65 rated with G1/4 pneumatic ports.
The Festo CPV18-M1H-5/3GS-1/4 (Part Number 176061) is an advanced 5/3-way mid-position normally closed air solenoid valve from the Compact Performance (CPV) series. Measuring just 18mm in width, this piston spool valve features a 24V DC electrically piloted actuation and is engineered to optimize automated pneumatic systems. It supports an impressive nominal flow rate of 1400 l/min through G1/4 pneumatic ports, making it highly suitable for driving large actuators or demanding applications. Built to handle a wide operating pressure range of -0.9 to 10 bar, the unit is entirely vacuum-capable. It also boasts an IP65 protection rating, mechanical spring reset, and robust die-cast aluminum construction with soft HNBR seals, ensuring lasting reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Utilizes the vacuum-compatible operating range (-0.9 bar) to reliably manage negative pressure in automated robotic end-effectors handling delicate or heavy materials.
Provides the necessary 5/3 closed function to securely hold a vacuum state if the control signal drops, preventing dropped loads during robotic transfers.
Controls large industrial pneumatic cylinders by relying on the 5/3 normally closed mid-position to trap exhaust air and freeze actuator movement.
Prevents dangerous unintended actuator movement upon loss of power by isolating the G1/4 working ports and locking the cylinder in its current position.
Deploys within a dense valve manifold where cabinet space is heavily restricted but fast actuation of packaging mechanisms is essential.
Achieves high-speed pneumatics without sacrificing valuable panel footprint, leveraging the 18mm compact width while delivering a massive 1400 l/min flow.
