Festo MHE2-MS1H-5/2-M7 525113 5/2 Solenoid Pilot Valve

Festo MHE2-MS1H-5/2-M7 is a 5/2-way, monostable (single solenoid, mechanical spring return), directly actuated poppet valve from the MHE2 compact series. Its ultra-slim 10 mm width is designed for space-constrained control cabinets and manifold assemblies. The valve is equipped with M7 threaded pneumatic connections and a 24V DC solenoid with a power consumption of 6.5W (peak) / 1.625W (hold), delivering a standard nominal flow rate of 90 l/min to efficiently control double-acting pneumatic cylinders. The IP65 rating ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Applications:

• Controlling double-acting pneumatic cylinders for automation tasks

• High-speed assembly and packaging machines requiring ultra-fast cycles

• Pick-and-place systems, test rigs, and rotary indexing tables

• Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) and lab automation

• Vacuum systems due to the -0.9 bar operating pressure range
