Festo 5/2 Bistable Pneumatic Control Valve Pneumatic VUWG Series

The Festo VUWG-L10-B52-M5 is a 5/2 bistable pneumatic control valve used to switch and control compressed air in automation systems. It is typically installed in pneumatic circuits where airflow needs to be redirected between two outputs, such as for controlling double-acting cylinders or air-driven actuators. This valve stays in its last switched position until it receives a new control signal. That makes it suitable for applications where the valve must hold its state even if control air is removed.

Unparalleled Benefits of Choosing the Festo 5/2 Bistable Pneumatic Control Valve

The 5/2 configuration allows the valve to direct air to one outlet while exhausting the other. Because it is bistable, it does not return to a default position automatically.

• The valve keeps its position without a continuous air signal.
• Less air consumption compared to monostable valves.
• Stable actuator control during pressure fluctuations.
• Compact housing for tight installations.
• M5 pneumatic ports for small-diameter tubing.
• Suitable for modular pneumatic assemblies.

Pneumatic Directional Valve for Simple, Reliable Control

The VUWG-L10-B52-M5 has a compact body that fits easily into control cabinets, valve manifolds, or machine frames. The M5 port connections allow clean tubing layouts in space-limited setups. Its construction is designed for continuous operation in industrial environments.

Wide Application Range

It is used where consistent air direction control is needed without relying on spring return.

• Pneumatic cylinder control
• Pick-and-place automation systems
• Packaging and assembly machines
• Production lines using compressed air logic
