Festo 3/2-way Normally Open solenoid valve. 24V DC actuation, 3000 l/min flow. Compact 24mm width, external pilot air, IP65 die-cast aluminum housing.
The Festo CPE24-M1H-3OLS-3/8 (Part # 163168) is a monostable 3/2-way Normally Open (NO) electrically actuated solenoid control valve. Part of the Compact Performance (CPE) series, it delivers high component density by maximizing performance in a narrow footprint. With an overall width of 24mm, it features a durable piston spool design yielding a standard nominal flow rate of 3,000 l/min. Actuation is controlled by a 24V DC coil utilizing an external pilot air supply. Capable of operating in pressure ranges from -0.9 bar up to 10 bar, the valve supports vacuum applications and soft NBR sealing. Housed in die-cast aluminum, it features an IP65 protection rating and CRC 2 moderate corrosion resistance, making it exceptionally reliable for direct on-cylinder mounting or manifold blocks.

Utilizes the wide pressure range, starting at -0.9 bar, to govern high-volume vacuum lines for end-of-arm tooling on robotic sorting machines.
Resolves slow suction line depletion times by utilizing the massive 3,000 l/min flow capability to establish and release suction instantly.
Acts as the primary directional control for heavy-duty pneumatic cylinders and rodless actuators requiring instant pressure states using external pilot air.
Prevents mechanical lag in large pneumatic actuators by delivering optimized rapid airflow in a compact 24mm profile.
Controls default-on clamping stations in automated fabrication cells using the normally open (NO) configuration to hold workpieces securely without continuous electrical power.
Ensures components remain pneumatically clamped during power failures, while the IP65 die-cast aluminum housing withstands environmental debris and moisture.
