Valves VMPA
Universal directional control valves
The Festo VMPA valves are solenoid valves designed for valve terminal integration on the VMPA platform. The VMPA1 series uses an M7 pilot connection with the PI suffix indicating integrated pilot supply through the valve terminal base; VMPA2 variants use G1/8 connections. Each valve plugs directly onto the corresponding CPX/MPA valve terminal base and receives control air and electrical signals through the mounting face.
The range includes 5/2-way spring-return types (VMPA1-M1H-B, -G, -J, -M, -N, -E, -H, -K) as well as double-actuated 5/2 types (suffix -S) in the VMPA1 series, with approximately 70 individual items available.
| Type | Function | Pilot port | Actuation |
|---|---|---|---|
| VMPA1-M1H-x-M7-PI | 5/2-way | M7 | Single, spring return |
| VMPA1-M1H-x-S-M7-PI | 5/2-way | M7 | Double-sided (bistable) |
| VMPA2-M1H-x-G1/8-PI | 5/2-way | G1/8 | Single, spring return |
Typical applications: Modular valve terminals in manufacturing automation, handling and gripper systems with central control air supply via the CPX/MPA platform, packaging machinery, and process plant with compact valve terminal architecture.
