Product Description:
The FESTO MFH/JMFH series, known in the industry as the "Tiger
Valve" for its strong and dependable performance, is a classic line
of pneumatic solenoid valves. These valves are designed to provide
high flow rates in a compact form, making them an excellent choice
for a wide range of automation applications.
The MFH series consists of single solenoid valves (monostable) with
spring return, while the JMFH series features double solenoid
valves (bistable) with memory function. They are both engineered
for easy mounting, either directly on a sub-base or onto
standardized ISO mounting interfaces (such as PAL or PRS systems)
for modular valve terminal configurations. These valves are the
proven solution for controlling cylinders, grippers, and other
pneumatic actuators.
Features:
High Flow in Compact Design: Optimized internal flow paths ensure excellent flow
characteristics (e.g., Cv values up to ~1.8 or higher) despite the
very small build size, enabling fast cylinder cycle times.
Exceptional Flexibility & Modularity:
- Multiple Functions: Available as 5/2-way, 5/3-way, and 3/2-way valves.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be installed individually via threaded ports or quickly
snapped onto standardized valve manifolds, allowing for easy
creation of multi-valve control stations.
- Interchangeable Coils: Solenoid coils are available separately in a wide range of
voltages (e.g., 24V DC, 110V AC, 230V AC) and types (e.g.,
standard, low-wattage, manual override), providing great electrical
compatibility.
Robustness and Reliability:
- Durable metal body (e.g., aluminum) ensures longevity and
resistance in harsh industrial environments.
- High IP65 protection rating (when used with appropriate connector)
guards against dust and water jets.
- Broad Compatibility: Operates effectively within a standard pressure range of 0.15 MPa
to 0.9 MPa (1.5 to 9 bar), suitable for most common pneumatic
systems.

Applications:
The MFH/JMFH Tiger Valve series is highly versatile and reliable,
making it suitable for a wide range of industries.
For General Factory Automation, these valves are ideal for
applications such as assembly machines, material handling
equipment, packaging machinery, and CNC systems that require
precise actuator control.
In Automotive Manufacturing, the MFH/JMFH Tiger Valve series is
commonly used in welding, clamping, pressing, and testing stations
along production lines where speed and reliability are crucial.
For the Plastics and Rubber Machinery sector, these valves are
employed to control auxiliary functions in injection molding
machines, blow molders, and robotic handlers.
In the Packaging and Food & Beverage Industry, the MFH/JMFH Tiger
Valve series is well-suited for controlling actuators in filling,
capping, labeling, and sorting machines. However, specific material
and certification requirements should be considered for these
applications.
