Design and Performance
Compact 5/2-Way Function for Standard Actuator Control
As a 5/2-way, single solenoid valve, the MEH-5/2-5,0-B provides a monostable switching function well suited for controlling standard double-acting pneumatic cylinders, automatically returning to its default position when de-energized.
Manual Override for Convenient Commissioning and Testing
A built-in manual override lever allows operators to actuate the valve directly without electrical signal, supporting safer commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting without waiting for a control system command.
Robust IP65 Sealing for Industrial Environments
Rated IP65, this valve withstands dust and temporary water exposure, supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial control cabinet and machine-mounted environments.
Durable Aluminum Body with Buna-N Sealing
An aluminum body combined with Buna-N (NBR) seals provides strong mechanical durability and reliable sealing performance across the valve’s -5°C to 50°C rated operating temperature range.
Legacy Platform with Available Migration Path
As a discontinued type, this valve remains supported for continued use in existing installations, and Festo’s Support Portal provides guidance on current alternative products for new designs or replacements.
