Festo VMEF-VL-M52-M-G14 – 5/2 Swivel Lever Valve | 1200 l/min | Murali Pneumatics Coimbator

Festo VMEF-VL-M52-M-G14 Swivel Lever Valve

The Festo VMEF-VL-M52-M-G14 is a mechanically actuated 5/2-way directional control valve from the proven VMEF series. Designed for dependable pneumatic switching, this valve combines compact construction, high flow capacity, and durable mechanical actuation for industrial automation applications. Its piston gate valve design provides smooth operation and reliable sealing, while the swivel lever mechanism allows direct mechanical actuation in machine and packaging equipment. The valve is particularly suitable for food packaging machinery, material handling systems, and production equipment requiring consistent pneumatic control.

Key Features

• 5/2-way valve function — suitable for controlling double-acting pneumatic actuators.
• Mechanical swivel lever actuation — no electrical signal required for operation.
• 1200 l/min nominal flow rate — supports efficient air delivery for fast actuator response.
• G1/4 pneumatic ports — compatible with common industrial pneumatic installations.
• Piston gate valve design — provides reliable switching and long service life.
• Direct piloting system — enables fast mechanical response.
• Mechanical spring return — automatically resets valve position after actuation.
• Soft sealing principle — minimizes leakage and improves sealing performance.
• Reversible flow direction — offers flexible installation possibilities.
• Mounting in any position — simplifies machine integration.
