Air solenoid valve for pneumatic control

The Festo CPE18-M3H-5L-1/4 is a pneumatic solenoid valve designed to direct compressed air in automated systems. It operates as a 5/3-way valve with a mid-position exhaust function, making it suitable for controlling double-acting cylinders. The valve features a 1/4 port connection and is supplied new in a single pack.

For machine builders and maintenance teams

This valve suits engineers integrating pneumatic logic into packaging, assembly or handling equipment where a centred exhaust position is required. It is not for applications needing a 3/2-way function, a different port thread size, or a valve without the specific mid-position exhaust characteristic.

5/3-way mid-position exhaust configuration

The defining specification is the 5/3-way valve design with mid-position exhaust, which determines how the connected actuator behaves when the valve is de-energised. Verify that your pneumatic circuit requires this exact flow pattern before ordering.
