Technical Description: Festo 566482 VUVG Valve
The Festo 566482, model VUVG-L10-T32C-AT-M5-1R8L, is a premium solenoid valve from the ultra-compact VUVG series. Unlike its sister models, this version is configured with a 2x 3/2-way Normally Closed (NC) function. This allows the control of two separate single-acting cylinders or one double-acting cylinder from a single 10mm valve slot, making it one of the most space-efficient solutions for modern control cabinets.
Engineering and Performance Excellence
The VUVG-L10-T32C is designed for high-performance automation where cycle times are critical. It features a high nominal flow rate of up to 180 l/min despite its miniature footprint. The valve body is constructed from high-grade wrought aluminum alloy, ensuring durability and excellent heat dissipation. The «T32C» logic ensures that both internal valves are closed in the de-energized state, providing a safe «zero-flow» condition for machinery idling.

Advanced Modularity
Festo’s E-box technology (1R8L) allows for flexible electrical integration. This valve can be combined with various signal types and connection cables, significantly reducing wiring labor. The internal pilot air supply allows the valve to operate reliably even under fluctuating system pressures, ensuring that pneumatic actuators perform with high repeatability in pick-and-place and sorting applications.

Maintenance Insights
The VUVG-L10-T32C is virtually maintenance-free due to its high-quality internal seals. To maximize lifespan, it is essential to use compressed air filtered to 40 µm and dried to prevent moisture buildup within the piston slide chamber. The compact M5 connections should be tightened to 0.5 Nm to prevent air leakage without damaging the aluminum threads.
