Product Description:
The FESTO MFH/JMFH series, widely known in the industry as the
"Tiger Valve" due to its durable and dependable performance, is a
classic range of pneumatic solenoid valves. These valves are
specifically designed to handle high flow rates while maintaining a
compact structure, making them an excellent choice for a wide
variety of automation applications.
The MFH series consists of single solenoid valves with spring
return, while the JMFH series features double solenoid valves with
memory function. Both types of valves are engineered for easy
mounting, whether directly onto a sub-base or onto standardized ISO
mounting interfaces such as PAL or PRS systems for creating modular
valve terminal setups. They are the preferred and proven solution
for efficiently 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 known for its reliability and
compact power, making it a versatile choice across a range of
industries:
General Factory Automation: This series is well-suited for applications in assembly machines,
material handling equipment, packaging machinery, and CNC systems,
providing precise actuator control.
Automotive Manufacturing: The Tiger Valve series is utilized in welding, clamping, pressing,
and testing stations on production lines where speed and
reliability are paramount.
Plastics and Rubber Machinery: It is commonly used to regulate auxiliary functions in injection
molding machines, blow molders, and robotic handlers.
Packaging and Food & Beverage Industry: This series is ideal for controlling actuators in filling,
capping, labeling, and sorting machines, with the caveat that
specific material and certification requirements need to be met.
