Manually and mechanically actuated directional control valves

Impressive and powerful

Mechanically and manually actuated directional control valves for pneumatic

drives – when reliable and accurate metering is called for.

Festo offers a broad range of manually and mechanically actuated directional

control valves with the most diverse actuation and installation variants: front

panel valves; direct actuation; stem, roller, roller lever, button switch, finger

lever, hand lever, foot or whisker actuator – with or without detent.

Connect, lock, detect!

Hand lever valves

The new sensor-enabled hand lever

valves VHER in plastic or metal

design. Ideal for manual actuation of

pneumatic drives. These modern hand

lever valves are characterised by

robustness and additional functions

such as lockability, position detection,

selectable outlet directions as well as

the practical inscription system.

Front panel valves and actuator

attachments

For manual control of pneumatic

power valves in plastic or metal.

Various actuator attachments such as

toggle and selector switches, key and

pushbutton actuators as well as

mushroom pushbuttons are available.

Safety as standard: the mushroom

pushbutton with detent also available

lockable.

Valves with barbed fittings

The valves with push-on PK-3

connectors are mechanically or

manually actuated valves in plastic

design for actuation of pneumatic

power valves. The comprehensive

actuation options in the form of stem

actuated, pushbutton, toggle lever,

finger lever, whisker, roller or roller

lever valves make this valve system

really versatile.

Valves with threaded connections

The valves with threaded connection

are metal valves that can be directly

or indirectly actuated. The wide range

of actuation types means that the

valves can be universally used. Stem

actuated, pushbutton, toggle lever,

finger lever, whisker, roller or roller

lever valves are available. Available in

the connection sizes M5, Gx or G¼.

New: Lockable and sensor-enabled –

the 4/3-way hand lever valve VHER

Ideal for manual and direct actuation

of pneumatic drives. This modern

hand lever valve is characterised by

robustness, additional options such

as lockability, position detection,

various outlet directions and the

practical inscription system.

1 Large inscription area

directly on the hand lever.

2 Sturdy plastic lever

Ergonomic hand lever guarantees

secure operation.

3 Lockable hand lever

for greater safety during servicing

and maintenance even during

operation. Lockable in three positions

or switching positions.

4 Position sensing of the hand

lever position

Sensor-assisted option for monitoring

by a higher-level control system.

Sensor slot suitable for SME-10

sensors from Festo, for example

(sensing of three switching positions).

5 Sturdy metal or plastic housing

permits operation in harsh environ-

ments. A further series with metal

housing and lever permits use in

welding shops or foundries.

6 Variable attachment

for simple control panel, wall or base-

plate assembly.

7 Various connection direction and

mounting options

Outlet direction downward or to the

side.

Use as a main pneumatic switch

or as a 3/3-way valve.

� 4/3-way valve

mid-position closed

mid-position exhausted

� Connections: M5, Gx, G¼, G½

� 3/3-way valve

The hand lever valves VHER and HS

can be used as 3/3-way valves by

sealing port 2

With these valves it is possible to stop

single-acting cylinders (3/3-way valve)

or double-acting cylinders (4/3-way

valve) within the stroke range.

In mid-position closed, the drive

piston moves until the forces are

balanced.

In mid-position exhausted the piston

can be moved manually; only the

frictional forces have to be overcome.

Whisker valve

This piloted valve with extremely low

actuating forces is particularly suited

for units where dissimilar parts or

actuating elements without precision

positioning are to be sensed, or

where the actuating levels are

different. The whisker can be

approached from any direction

perpendicular to the whisker axis, or

can be passed.

Aspects of quality

Quality can be viewed from a number of aspects. A short virtual tour of the Research and Development

department, the Production department or the Customer Service Centre speaks more than a thou-

sand words.

3D engineering and simulation >

Innovation quality Production quality

Let’s look at some of the figures:

� 6.5% of turnover

� 2,800 patents with 100 new

applications every year

� 3D engineering and simulation

� 10,600 employees worldwide

� Each and every one of them a

lateral thinker

Your interest is quality and economy –

therefore we place considerable value

on:

�Minimum production tolerances

�Ultra-modern, proprietary pro-

duction methods

� Core competencies in production

� Defined quality standards across

the entire production chain

� Strict quality assurance systems: on

that you can depend.


Price quality Range quality Didactic quality

More service for less money.Many of

the new and further developments in

the Festo product range have one

thing in common: they are technically

superior and more attractively priced

than their predecessor product.

Examples are to be found in all prod-

uct segments: among the drives,

valves, valve terminals; among the

service units, and among the range of

accessories.

For individual solutions. Festo offers

components as industry-specific cata-

logue products as well as standards-

based and highly individual special

designs. Ready-to-install combina-

tions of these components play an

integral part in the Festo product port-

folio as modules or systems. Inciden-

tally, an increasing number of compo-

nents can be individually configured

as modular products.

To complement the products and ser-

vices for automation, Festo Didactic

offers exceptionally efficient training

hardware, learning software and sem-

inars of the highest quality. Optimally

tailored to your value creation

sequence.

In short – training in practical ap-

plications for practical application.


What must be observed when using Festo components?

Specified limit values for technical

data and any specific instructions

must be adhered to by the user in

order to ensure recommended operat-

ing conditions.

When pneumatic components are

used, the user shall ensure that they

are operated using correctly prepared

compressed air without aggressive

media.

When Festo components are used in

safety-oriented applications, the user

shall ensure that all applicable

national and local safety laws and

regulations, for example the machine

directive, together with the relevant

references to standards are observed.

Unauthorised conversions or modifi-

cations to products and systems from

Festo involve a safety risk and are

thus not permissible.

Festo does not accept any liability for

resulting damages.

You should contact Festo’s advisors if

one of the following apply to your

application:

� The ambient conditions and condi-

tions of use or the operating me-

dium differ from the specified

technical data.

� The product is to perform a safety

function.

� A risk or safety analysis is required.

� You are unsure about the product’s

suitability for use in the planned

application.

� You are unsure about the product’s

suitability for use in safety-oriented

applications.
