5/2 bistable piston gate valve with G1/4 ports and 11 ms reversal time. Supports 1.5–8 bar pressure, 1.0 W power consumption, and HNBR/NBR soft seals.
The Festo VUVG-L18-B52-T-G14-1H2L-W1 is an 18 mm electrically actuated 5/2-way bistable solenoid valve designed for universal directional control. It features a piston gate valve design with soft sealing to achieve a high standard nominal flow rate of 1380 l/min. Optimized for reliability, it operates at 24V DC and supports internal pilot air supply with optional manual overrides (detenting, non-detenting, or covered). Constructed from a wrought aluminium alloy housing with HNBR and NBR seals, it is suitable for mounting on manifold rails or via through-holes in various industrial environments.

Actuation of double-acting pneumatic slides used to transfer delicate semiconductor wafers within an ISO 14644-1 certified cleanroom environment.
Prevents wafer damage during power loss by holding the cylinder position using the 5/2 bistable function, while meeting strict Class 5 cleanroom contamination standards.
Control of pneumatic actuators in a rapid, continuous packaging machine that erects, loads, and folds pharmaceutical boxes.
Eliminates coil overheating and throughput bottlenecks in continuous high-speed manufacturing by leveraging a 100% duty cycle, ultra-low 1.0 W power consumption, and fast 11 ms reversal time.
Pneumatic clamping system for holding heavy EV battery cells securely in place during automated precision laser welding operations.
Ensures that heavy-duty clamps do not release and drop components if electrical power is unexpectedly interrupted, utilizing the bistable valve's pneumatic memory and handling large actuator volumes with its 1380 l/min flow capacity.
