Next generation NAMUR valve range

Festo has launched a new generation of NAMUR valves; the VSNC valves are modern, durable and available at a lower cost than previous models.


The range offers a choice of coils suitable for applications across a range of industries including chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, water /wastewater and food processing.Coils are available with protection methods such as non-sparking and encapsulated protection to IEC EX (ATEX).

The VSNC valves can work in dirty environments due to its re-breather function which allows clean compressed air to be fed back to the spring chambers within the valve ensuring that dirty air is kept out, increasing the life of the product.

One valve within the new range offers both 3/2 or 5/2-way functions. This is achieved by rotating one single seal rather than changing seals over. The valves have a flow rate of 1000 l/min and operate in a temperature range of -20 to 60°C. Coils are available in 7 different voltages including AC and DC variants and with IP65 protection.
