Product Overview: Festo 566485 VUVG Solenoid Valve
The Festo 566485, technically identified as VUVG-L10-T32H-AT-M5-1R8L, is a high-density, compact solenoid valve designed for modern automation demands. Part of the innovative VUVG series, this model features a 2x 3/2-way function, specifically configured as Normally Open (NO). This dual-valve design allows for the independent control of two pneumatic circuits from a single valve body, significantly reducing the required manifold space and overall system weight.
Technical Specifications and Modular Design
The VUVG-L10-T32H is engineered for high-speed industrial environments such as electronics assembly and small parts handling. It utilizes an internal pilot air supply and features an «AT» designation, indicating it is optimized for manifold mounting with a common exhaust. The integrated 1R8L E-box electrical interface provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection, while the M5 pneumatic ports ensure compatibility with standard high-precision fittings.

Performance and Industrial Reliability
Festo has utilized a patented cartridge seal and a piston slide design to minimize internal friction, resulting in exceptionally fast response times and a service life exceeding millions of cycles. The wrought aluminum alloy housing provides high thermal stability and moderate corrosion resistance (CRC 2), making it suitable for standard factory automation. Its compact 10mm width allows for maximum I/O density on valve terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the «Normally Open» configuration? In the event of a power loss, the valve remains open, allowing air to pass through—critical for certain fail-safe logic in specialized machinery. Does it include the electrical cable? No, the E-box provides the pins for connection; the NEBU or similar cable must be purchased separately.
