Festo VLO-3-34 Mini Solenoid Valve | 3/2-Way, 12V DC/24V DC Specs

Meta Description:​ Festo VLO-3-34 micro solenoid valve. Key specs: 3/2-way, normally closed, 12/24V DC, M5 port. For compact pneumatic control applications.

Product: Festo VLO-3-34 Solenoid Valve

The Festo VLO-3-34 is a sub-miniature 3/2-way solenoid valve designed for direct control of small pneumatic actuators in compact automation systems. It provides a reliable, space-saving solution for on/off and control functions.

Key Features

• Ultra-Compact Design:​ Extremely small footprint for tight installation spaces.

• Versatile Voltage:​ Can be configured for different DC voltages (see notes).

• Direct Operation:​ Suitable for controlling small single-acting cylinders directly.

• Lightweight Construction:​ Ideal for applications with weight constraints.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number:​ VLO-3-34

• Valve Function:​ 3/2-way, normally closed

• Actuation Type:​ Direct-acting solenoid

• Operating Principle:​ Monostable (spring return)

• Port Size:​ M5

• Standard Rated Flow (Qn):​ 7 l/min

• Operating Pressure Range:​ 0 ... 8 bar

• Operating Medium:​ Compressed air, filtered and lubricated or non-lubricated

• Electrical Connection:​ DIN 43650 (A-type) plug connector

• Housing Material:​ Plastic (PA)

• Seal Material:​ Nitrile rubber (NBR)

Critical Voltage Specification

• The numeric suffix in the VLO series often indicates voltage options. The "-34"​ typically denotes a versatile coil that can be operated with either 12V DC or 24V DC.

• Important:​ Always verify the exact voltage specification for your specific order batch with the supplier or datasheet. Using an incorrect voltage can damage the coil.

Typical Applications

The VLO-3-34 valve is used in:

• Laboratory automation and analytical instruments

• Medical and diagnostic equipment

• Small robotic grippers and tool changers

• Packaging machinery for small products

• Electronics manufacturing and testing

Compatibility & Notes

• Due to its M5 port size and 7 l/min flow, it is designed for small actuators with low air consumption.

• The normally closed (NC) function blocks the outlet when de-energized.

• Confirm the exact coil voltage and duty cycle for your application.

Note: Specifications are for product identification and comparison. The "-34" voltage code should be confirmed. For definitive specifications, consult the official Festo VLO series datasheet.
