Design and Performance
Compact 5/2-Way Function for Standard Actuator Control
As a 5/2-way, single solenoid valve, the MEH-5/2-1/8-S-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.
Compact G1/8 Connection for Space-Efficient Manifolds
A G1/8 port size keeps the valve’s footprint compact, suiting dense multi-valve manifold arrangements in control cabinets with limited panel space.
Durable Die-Cast Aluminum Construction
A die-cast aluminum body combined with HNBR/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.
