Product Description
Festo VMEF-VR-M52-M-G14 Swivel Lever Valve
The Festo VMEF-VR-M52-M-G14 is a mechanically actuated 5/2-way directional control valve from the VMEF series. Designed for dependable pneumatic switching, this valve combines compact construction, high flow capacity, and direct mechanical operation for applications where electrical actuation is not required.
The VMEF series is widely used in industrial automation systems due to its robust piston gate valve design, reliable sealing performance, and suitability for demanding machine environments. Its swivel lever mechanism allows precise actuation through cams, levers, or mechanical movement within machinery.
Key Features
- 5/2-way valve function — controls double-acting pneumatic actuators efficiently.
- Mechanical swivel lever actuation — ideal where electrical control is unnecessary or unavailable.
- 1200 l/min nominal flow rate — supports fast actuator response.
- Direct piloting design — immediate switching without pilot air dependency.
- Piston gate valve construction — durable and reliable operation.
- Mechanical spring return — automatic reset after actuation.
- G1/4 pneumatic ports — compatible with standard industrial pneumatic systems.
- Soft sealing principle — minimizes leakage and improves sealing performance.
- Any mounting position — flexible installation options.
- Reversible flow direction — simplifies machine design and piping layouts.
