Product Overview
The FESTO CPE14-M1BH-5L-1/8 (Part No. 196941) is a compact, high-performance pneumatic solenoid valve from Festo’s CPE series, engineered for precise directional control of compressed air in automated industrial systems. Featuring a 5/2-way monostable function with a 14 mm valve body width, this valve utilizes a direct-acting poppet spool mechanism that delivers fast, reliable switching even at low operating pressures. The M1BH solenoid actuation system provides single-solenoid, spring-return operation, making it ideal for fail-safe positioning in pneumatic cylinders, actuators, and process control circuits. Its 1/8″ threaded port connection and compact footprint allow seamless integration into tight manifold assemblies and modular valve terminals, ensuring optimal flow performance with minimal pressure drop.
