Festo MEH-5 3E-1 8-S-B 5 Three-Position Pneumatic Valve Open Center

The Festo MEH-5 3E-1 8-S-B 5 is a three-position pneumatic valve with an open-center configuration, driven by a 24 VDC coil. It directs compressed air in pneumatic control circuits across three positions, enabling distinct flow paths to actuators and simplifying neutral or exhaust behavior in the center position. As part of Festo’s MEH-5 family, this valve is designed for compact installations in industrial automation where reliable solenoid actuation and open-center operation are required. Commonly used to control cylinders and other pneumatic devices on automation lines, robotics workcells, or packaging equipment, it provides straightforward, electrically driven air-direction control with a 24 VDC coil.
