Festo Monostable Pneumatic Control Valve, 3/2, Closed - MHP3 Series - MHP3-M1H-3/2G-QS-6 When you need a durable pneumatic component that combines compact size with functionality, choose this control valve from Festo. It features both pneumatic solenoid and electrical pilot-operated control, making it a versatile option. As it's a monostable valve, it returns to its home position when power is lost. A 'normally closed' setup allows the valve to react to variations in pressure and stop airflow if the system is compromised. With three ports, it's suited for use with single-acting cylinders. • 14 mm width means it's a compact option
• Wide operating pressure range of -0.9 to 8 bar, suitable for a variety of applications
• Zinc die-cast coated body for durability and corrosion-resistance
• Manifold mounting style for easy system scaling Application Information • Pneumatic cylinders
• Rodless cylinders
• Grippers
• Rotary actuators
• Robotics What are the advantages of a 'normally closed' valve? Normally closed valves act as emergency safety measures as they're designed to block flow. If the system experiences overpressure, the valve opens until pressure normalises, then closes again. What does each port do? Port one is the valve inlet, port two is the outlet and port three is the exhaust.
