Pneumatic valves are essential for controlling airflow and motion in automation systems. Festo offers reliable, high-performance valves from 3/2 to 5/3 types for precise directional control in demanding applications.
Pneumatic valves are designed to direct, control and shut off compressed air in automation environments. Festo provides a wide selection of manually, electrically (solenoid), mechanically and pneumatically actuated valves, including advanced valve terminals and proportional flow control systems. They offer high switching speed, long service life and full compatibility with modern production lines.
3/2, 5/2 and 5/3 directional control valves – for on/off and switching operations
Solenoid valves – fast-acting with visual LED status indicators
Manual and mechanical valves – robust solutions with levers or push-buttons
Pilot-operated valves – ideal for explosion-proof or non-electric zones
Proportional valves – precise flow regulation using analog input signals
Festo valves are built using high-grade materials, modular designs, and standardized ISO/DIN connections. Most models feature Quick-Fix mounting and are compatible with vacuum, low or high-pressure systems, ranging from –0.9 to 10 bar of operating pressure:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
Festo pneumatic valves are widely used in the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging and metal processing sectors. They can be used as individual components or integrated into modular systems like MPA valve terminals for compact and scalable automation.
A pneumatic valve controls the direction and flow of compressed air in automation systems to drive actuators and tools.
A 3/2 valve has three ports and two positions, typically used for single-acting actuators. A 5/2 valve has five ports and two positions, suitable for double-acting cylinders.
Yes, Festo provides modular valve terminals such as the MPA series, allowing integration of multiple solenoid valves in a compact unit.
