Overview and comparison of valve terminal series from Festo
Here is an overview of the available valve terminal series with the most important technical features and recommendations for their range of applications.
Easy and cost-effective fixed-grid valve terminals
Compact with high flow rate: VTUG with plug-in
- Many electrical connection options from multi-pin plug up to fieldbus thanks to Festo I-Port
- Optimised assembly for control cabinets thanks to manifold rails for direct integration
- Electrically and pneumatically actuated valves: for vacuum applications
- Three valve sizes for flow rates of 220 up to 1300 l/min
Short product information for valve and valve terminal series VG
Maximum power density, light and compact: valve terminal CPV
- Electrically and pneumatically actuated valves: for vacuum applications right up to an ATEX environment
