Description
The Festo CPE10-M1BH-5L-QS-6 is a high-performance 5/2-way monostable solenoid valve (Part Number: 196883) from the compact CPE series. Engineered for maximum flow in minimal space, this valve is the ideal solution for efficiently controlling double-acting pneumatic cylinders in automated machinery and control systems.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
This compact performance valve is designed for reliability and quick response times:
- Valve Function: 5/2-way, Monostable (Single Solenoid with Pneumatic Spring Return). This configuration is standard for controlling the extension and retraction of a double-acting cylinder.
- High Flow in Compact Size: Despite its narrow 10 mm construction width, it achieves a high standard nominal flow rate of 320 l/min.
- Operating Voltage: Operates on the industry-standard 24 V DC.
- Operating Pressure: Wide and versatile pressure range from 3 bar to 8 bar (0.3 MPa to 0.8 MPa).
- Connection Technology: Features integrated QS-6 (6 mm push-in fittings) on the working ports (ports 2 and 4), ensuring quick and tool-free tubing connection.
- Design: Utilizes a Piston Gate Valve design with Soft Sealing, which provides a long service life (rated up to 175 million cycles B10 value) and low leakage rates.
- Fast Switching Times: Boasts quick response times, typically 16 ms (on) and 20 ms (off), crucial for optimizing machine cycle speeds.
- Protection: Rated IP65 (with plug socket fitted), offering protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Applications and Advantages
The CPE10-M1BH-5L-QS-6 is categorized within Festo’s “Compact Performance” class, making it perfect for applications where speed, size, and durability are essential:
- Controlling Double-Acting Cylinders: Its 5/2 function is the standard for driving pneumatic actuators.
- High-Speed Automation: Excellent for packaging, pick-and-place, and assembly machinery where rapid cylinder movement and short cycle times are required.
- Manifold Mounting: The valve is suitable for individual mounting with through-holes but is most often used on fixed-grid or modular valve manifolds (CPE Series) to create compact, centralized control systems.
- Reliability: The robust construction, low power consumption (typically 1.28 W), and high cycle life ensure minimal maintenance and reliable operation over extended periods
