VUVS from Festo: economically priced, sturdy and powerful

April 2016 Pneumatics & Hydraulics

The sturdy valves VUVS, part of the VS series from Festo, are industry-standard individual valves that can be used for almost any application. With these valves, Festo fulfils all the demands made on modern valves for universal use: favourable price, easy installation and assembly, numerous standard functions and attractive design.

Their sturdiness, protection to IP65/67, vacuum functions and the high flow rate of up to 2000 l/min, as well as optional ATEX variants, make these valves suitable for almost every industry segment and extreme environments when used outdoors, for example heavy engineering, foundries, opencast mining or the timber industry.

Easy to operate

The valve series VS for up to 16 valve positions in a fixed grid has a universal structure and is easy to operate. The wide range of accessories such as manifold rails and cover plates makes the valves VUVS flexible in use. The hollow armature tube enables solenoid coils for different operating voltages to be mounted, which reduces warehousing. The rotatable coil can be adapted to the installation conditions.
