Festo 18 mm 230 V AC Solenoid Valve

The Festo VSVA-B-T32C-AH-A2-3AC1 is a 2x3/2-way piston gate valve with an 18 mm valve size and G1/8 pneumatic ports. It operates on 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz with an initial power of 2.9 VA and holding power of 2.1 VA. The valve functions within a pressure range of 2 to 10 bar and features a soft sealing principle with pneumatic spring reset.

Replaces Direct-Acting Valves Needing Higher Flow

This model suits applications where a standard direct-acting valve cannot deliver the required 400 l/min nominal flow rate or 600 l/min valve flow rate. The jump is worthwhile when a system demands a 100% duty cycle, LED signal status display, and permissible voltage fluctuations of -15% to +10% for continuous industrial operation.

Sustained Operation With Consistent Switching

Under continuous load the valve maintains a 100% duty cycle with on and off switching times of 13 ms and 21 ms respectively. The coil holds at 2.1 VA during extended energisation while the soft sealing principle and pneumatic spring reset ensure reliable cycling without performance degradation over long periods.

Questions about this item

What size mounting hole does the 18 mm valve body require?

The valve uses a G1/8 pneumatic working port for connection and can be mounted in any position without a specific hole size.

How do I wire the 230 V AC coil and what is the common mistake?

Connect to a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz supply; the coil draws 2.9 VA initially and 2.1 VA holding. A common error is exceeding the -15%/+10% voltage tolerance.

When should I replace the soft seals on this piston gate valve?

With a 100% duty cycle and 13 ms on / 21 ms off switching times, inspect soft seals during scheduled maintenance; replace if leakage appears at the 2-10 bar operating pressure range.
