Official Part Number 172959
GTIN Standard 4052568013639

Technical Overview

The HEE-D-MIDI-24 is an electrically actuated, pilot-operated 3/2-way monostable on/off valve designed for compressed air preparation systems. Part of the Festo Classic series, it features a piston gate valve design with a soft sealing principle and a mechanical spring reset. This valve supports operating pressures between 2.5 and 16 bar and is constructed from a robust die-cast aluminum housing with NBR seals. It includes a detenting manual override for manual control and is designed for in-line installation or mounting with accessories. Note: This product is scheduled for discontinuation starting January 2027.

Industrial Applications

1. Automated Packaging Line Air Preparation Unit

Integration into the main service unit (FRL assembly) of a high-speed form-fill-seal packaging machine to manage primary air supply.

Problem Solved

Enables remote pneumatic startup via PLC only when safety conditions are met and ensures rapid system depressurization (exhausting air to atmosphere) during stops to prevent dangerous actuator drift.

2. Robotic Assembly Cell Zone Isolation

Installed at the manifold inlet of a robotic welding cell to control compressed air supply to pneumatic clamping fixtures.

Problem Solved

Allows specific machine zones to be electrically isolated and vented for safe operator access without shutting down the entire facility's ring main, utilizing the detenting manual override for maintenance checks.

3. Pneumatic Press Emergency Dump Valve

Functions as the primary safety dump valve for a pneumatic press or stamping machine circuit.

Problem Solved

Instantly exhausts system pressure upon power failure or emergency stop (monostable spring return), removing potential energy to stop the press ram and comply with industrial safety protocols.
