Festo VUVG-L10-M52-RT-M5-1R8L – 5/2 Monostable Solenoid Valve | 220 l/min | Murali Pneumatics Coimbatore
The Festo VUVG-L10-M52-RT-M5-1R8L is a compact 5/2-way monostable solenoid valve from the VUVG series, designed for manifold-rail or through-hole mounting in space-constrained pneumatic control panels. With a 10 mm valve size, 220 l/min nominal flow rate, and M5 port connections, it delivers reliable directional control for light-duty actuators and compact cylinder circuits. Electrically actuated at 24V DC with mechanical spring return, it suits high-cycle automation in textile, packaging, and electronics assembly applications. IP65 protection and cleanroom suitability to ISO 14644-1 Class 5 make it a versatile choice across controlled and industrial environments. Festo Part Number: 572634.
Note: This valve is sold as a base unit. The plug socket (M8×1, 3-pin, A-encoded) must be ordered separately. Coil data is integrated — no separate coil is required for 24V DC operation.

Product Description
Festo VUVG-L10-M52-RT-M5-1R8L – Compact 5/2 Monostable Solenoid Valve, 10 mm Series
The VUVG-L10-M52-RT-M5-1R8L belongs to Festo's VUVG valve series — a platform engineered specifically for compact manifold assemblies where high flow, low weight, and installation flexibility are equally important. At just 45 g with M5 pneumatic connections on all five ports, this 5/2-way monostable valve is well suited to the dense, multi-valve stations common in textile machinery, assembly automation, and electronics production lines in and around Coimbatore. Its 24V DC coil operates at 100% duty cycle, meaning it can stay energised continuously without thermal de-rating.Key Features
- 5/2-way monostable function — controls double-acting cylinders with spring-return to a safe rest position on power loss, essential for fail-safe machine designs.
- 220 l/min nominal flow rate — high flow for a 10 mm valve; drives small-to-medium bore cylinders at competitive cycle speeds without pressure drop issues.
- M5 ports on all five connections — standardised, push-in compatible port thread for direct tubing or inline fitting connections with no reducer adapters needed.
- 24V DC, 1.0 W coil at 100% duty cycle — low power draw with no need for holding current reduction circuits; simplifies PLC output card selection.
- Piston gate valve design with soft sealing — low hysteresis, consistent switching, and long service life even with moderate contamination in the compressed air supply.
- IP65 protection (with plug socket fitted) — suitable for environments with coolant mist, dust, or occasional washdown without additional enclosure costs.
- Cleanroom Class 5 (ISO 14644-1) and LABS/PWIS conformity — approved for use in paint shops, pharma lines, and semiconductor assembly without risk of surface contamination.
- Both detenting and non-detenting manual override options included — maintenance and commissioning teams can manually shift and hold the valve spool without energising the coil.
- Pilot actuated with internal pilot air, M5 supply — no separate pilot supply line required; simplifies manifold plumbing.
- Corrosion Resistance Class 2 (CRC 2) — rated for moderate corrosion stress, suitable for most industrial environments without special surface treatment.
