Product Overview
The FESTO CPE14-M1BH-5/3E-1/8 (Part No. 196935) is a compact 5/3-way pneumatic solenoid valve from Festo’s CPE14 series, engineered for precise directional control of compressed air in industrial automation systems. Featuring a 5/3 exhausted (closed-center) spool configuration, this valve directs and vents actuator ports to manage double-acting cylinders and other pneumatic drives with high repeatability. Its 1/8″ threaded port connection and 14 mm valve body width make it an ideal solution for space-constrained manifolds and valve terminals where reliable, fast-switching pneumatic logic is required. The valve operates on a solenoid/pilot actuation principle with manual override, delivering consistent flow performance and long service life in demanding factory environments.
