Festo CPE18-M1H-5L-1/4 163142 5/2 Solenoid Pilot Valve G1/4

Festo CPE18-M1H-5L-1/4 is a 5/2‑way, single‑solenoid (monostable) pneumatic directional control valve from the CPE compact series. With a construction width of just 18 mm, it delivers a flow rate of up to 1500 L/min while consuming only 1.5 W at 24 V DC. The die‑cast aluminium housing and corrosion‑resistant construction (CRC 2) make it suitable for industrial environments.

Applications:

• Control of double‑acting pneumatic cylinders

• Factory and packaging automation

• Material handling, conveyor, and assembly systems

• Retrofitting OEM machinery with compact valve requirements
