Accessories for valves

Festo solenoid coils are replacement and retrofit coils for the Tiger valve series and process valves. The 116-article range covers three main groups: MSFG (DC coils, 12 V and 24/42 V), MSFW (AC coils, 24, 48, 110, 230 and 240 V / 50-60 Hz) and MSN1G/MSN1W (compact OD coils). ATEX-certified EX variants (MSFG-24-EX, MSFW series EX) cover zone 1 and 2 applications.

Variants with the -OD suffix integrate a rectifier (AC coils) or a freewheeling diode (DC coils); -DS variants additionally include a suppression capacitor. The VACF-B-K1-3A-5-EX4-M coil is designed for process valves with explosion protection.

⚙ MSFG (DC) and MSFW (AC) - two designs for DC and AC operation, compatible with Tiger series

✓ Voltages 12-240 V, 50/60 Hz - wide range for global use with different mains voltages

⚡ -OD, -DS and -EX versions - protection circuit (OD), suppression (DS) and ATEX approval (EX) as suffixes

📦 Coil exchange without valve removal - coils can be replaced in situ, minimising downtime

Type	Voltage	Frequency	Note
MSFG-12	12 V DC	-	Standard DC coil
MSFG-24/42-50/60	24/42 V AC	50/60 Hz	Universal AC coil
MSFG-24-EX	24 V DC	-	ATEX zone 1/2
MSFW-24-50/60	24 V AC	50/60 Hz	Standard AC coil
MSFW-110-50/60	110 V AC	50/60 Hz	US mains voltage
MSFW-230-50/60	230 V AC	50/60 Hz	EU mains voltage
MSFW-240-50/60	240 V AC	50/60 Hz	UK mains voltage
MSN1G-24DC-OD	24 V DC	-	Compact OD coil

Typical applications: Replacement of failed solenoid coils on Tiger 2000 and Classic valves without removing the valve body, conversion from 24 V DC to 230 V AC operation in existing plant, ATEX-certified coil use in zone 1/2 (chemical, petrochemical industries), and process valve actuation with VACF coils in process engineering.
