Product Overview
The FESTO CPE18-M1H-3GL is a compact pneumatic solenoid valve from the FESTO CPE series, engineered for precise directional control of compressed air in automated industrial systems. Operating on a 3/2-way normally closed (monostable) function, this valve utilizes a direct-acting solenoid pilot principle to shift an internal spool, directing airflow between supply, working, and exhaust ports. Its compact CPE18 body design delivers high flow rates relative to its footprint, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained manifolds, valve terminals, and decentralized pneumatic control architectures. The M1H solenoid coil provides reliable electrical actuation with fast response times, ensuring accurate cycle sequencing in high-duty industrial automation environments.
