Festo CPE24 5/3 Way Solenoid Valve

The Festo CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-10 is a 5/3-way air solenoid valve designed for pneumatic control in automation systems. It suits engineers and technicians who need reliable mid-position exhaust functionality for cylinder positioning or safety circuits. The valve operates on a 24 V DC supply and carries the manufacturer part number 170312.

Push-in fitting installation with QS-10 ports

Installation uses integrated QS-10 push-in connectors that accept 10 mm tubing without tools, reducing assembly time on the bench or in the panel. The valve body mounts directly via through-holes, so alignment is straightforward. The most common issue is debris in the air supply causing the spool to stick; a 5 µm filter upstream prevents this. Ensure the coil voltage matches the 24 V DC rating before applying power.

Mid-position exhaust (5/3 BS) function

The critical specification is the 5/3 BS mid-position exhaust behaviour: both output ports vent to atmosphere when the coil is de-energised, allowing the cylinder to move freely. This differs from closed-centre or pressurised-centre variants, which hold or trap pressure. Select this valve only when the application requires the actuator to be unpowered and unpressurised in the neutral state.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-10 solenoid valve actuates correctly after installation?

Apply 24 V power to the coil and confirm the output port switches pressure as expected for a 5/3 blocked-centre function.

What components are included with the valve and what must be sourced separately?

The box contains one CPE24-M2H-5/3BS-QS-10 valve unit; fittings, tubing, wiring and a 24 V power supply are not included.

Which port size matches the QS-10 designation on this model?

The QS-10 marking indicates push-in connections for 10 mm outside-diameter tubing.
