5/3-way mid-position closed pneumatic directional control valve. Features an 18mm width, 1450 l/min nominal flow, 24V DC operation, and G1/4 working ports.
The Festo 170247 (model CPE18-M1H-5/3G-1/4) is a highly efficient, compact performance solenoid valve engineered for advanced industrial automation systems. Operating as a 5/3-way, mid-position normally closed directional control valve, it provides highly reliable pneumatic cylinder positioning and fail-safe load holding operations. Despite its narrow 18mm construction width, the unit achieves an impressive nominal flow rate of 1450 L/min to maximize actuation speeds on mid-to-large bore cylinders. Powered by a standard 24V DC coil, the valve features a robust die-cast aluminum housing, an IP65 protection rating, and standard G1/4 pneumatic working ports. It utilizes an internal pilot air supply, soft sealing principle, and a piston spool design with mechanical spring reset to ensure consistent, repeatable performance in harsh manufacturing environments.

Integration into automated machining centers to strictly control clamping cylinders. The mid-position closed function ensures pressure is mechanically trapped on both sides of the piston.
Prevents sudden pressure drops or unexpected actuator movements during power failure or emergency stops, securing workpieces safely.
Deploys rapid actuation for diverter gates or sorting arms in automated logistics facilities, powered directly via standard 24V DC PLC outputs.
Maximizes throughput by delivering highly rapid cycle times thanks to the robust 1450 l/min flow rate housed in a space-saving footprint.
Implementation in washdown or mildly damp production areas to drive medium-bore pneumatic cylinders using internal pilot air.
Safeguards electrical controls against moderate moisture and dust ingress via the robust IP65-rated die-cast aluminum housing.
