FAQ

A 5/3G valve is a 5-port, 3-position valve. The 'G' designation specifies that in the center (unactuated) position, all ports are blocked (closed). This is used to lock a pneumatic cylinder in its current position when both solenoids are de-energized.

Yes, the solenoid coils on Festo CPE series valves are modular and can be replaced individually. Ensure you use the correct replacement part to maintain performance and safety ratings.

For optimal performance and longevity, Festo recommends compressed air quality according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. This means filtered air (40 micrometer), with options for lubricated or unlubricated operation.
