18 mm 230 V AC Solenoid Valve

The Festo VSVA-B-T32C-AZH-A2-3AC1 is a 2x3/2 monostable piston gate valve with an 18 mm width and 230 V AC electrical actuation. It delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 400 l/min and a maximum pneumatic flow rate of 600 l/min. The valve operates on compressed air at pressures between 2 bar and 10 bar and features an LED signal status display for visual confirmation of switching state. Suited for automation systems requiring reliable directional control in a compact form factor.

Electrical supply and pneumatic preparation

Verify that the control circuit can provide a stable 230 V AC supply for the solenoid coil. The pilot pressure must be maintained between 3 bar and 10 bar using compressed air meeting ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] quality standards. Ensure the main operating pressure stays within the 2 bar to 10 bar range and that the mounting surface allows the maximum tightening torque of 1 Nm. Flow direction is non-reversible, so port orientation must match the system design.

Thermal range noise and power characteristics

The valve is rated for continuous 100 % duty cycle operation across an ambient and medium temperature range of -5 °C to 50 °C with relative humidity up to 90 %. Acoustic emission is specified at 85 dB(A) during switching events. Switching times are 13 ms on and 21 ms off, enabled by a pneumatic spring reset mechanism. The soft sealing principle and overlap lap design contribute to consistent sealing performance throughout the operating envelope.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a sub-base or pilot-air tubing separately?

The box contains one 18 mm valve weighing 174 g with LED signal-status display; a sub-base and pilot-air tubing to supply 3–10 bar compressed air per ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4] are not included.

How do I choose between the listed flow-rate figures of 400, 450 and 600 l/min?

Use 600 l/min for the valve alone, 450 l/min when mounted on an individual sub-base, and 400 l/min for pneumatically concatenated manifolds — the standard nominal flow rate for the 2x3/2 closed monostable function.

What does the 230 V AC operating voltage mean for wiring and response in my cabinet?

The coil draws 230 V AC directly, giving 13 ms on and 21 ms off switching times with 100 % duty cycle at ambient temperatures of –5 °C to 50 °C.
