FESTO CPE10-M1CH-3GL-M7 Solenoid Valve

The FESTO CPE10-M1CH-3GL-M7​ is a compact 3/2-way solenoid valve​ from the CPE10 series, featuring 10mm construction width​ and M7 pneumatic connections. This pilot-operated solenoid valve is designed for space-constrained automation applications requiring reliable directional control. With normally closed (NC) function, monostable operation, and 24V DC coil, it provides precise control for pneumatic systems in industrial automation, packaging machinery, and process control applications.

Key Features

• Compact Design:​ 10mm width for high component density in tight spaces

• 3/2 Normally Closed Function:​ Monostable operation with spring return

• High Flow Rate:​ 400 l/min standard nominal flow at 6 bar

• M7 Pneumatic Ports:​ Compact threaded connections for space efficiency

• 24V DC Operation:​ Low power consumption (1.28W)

• Pilot-Operated:​ Internal pilot air supply for reliable switching

• IP65 Protection:​ Suitable for industrial environments

• Wide Operating Pressure:​ -0.9 to 10 bar operating range

Technical Specifications

Model Number Decoding (CPE10-M1CH-3GL-M7)

• CPE10:​ Series designation (Compact Performance, 10mm width)

• M1:​ Mounting type (through-hole mounting)

• CH:​ Coil type (single solenoid, 24V DC, 4-pin M8)

• 3GL:​ Valve function (3/2-way, normally closed, monostable)

• M7:​ Pneumatic connection size (M7 threaded ports)

Note:​ The "3GL" designation indicates normally closed (NC) function with monostable operation. The "M7" specifies the pneumatic port thread size.

Key Differences from Similar Models

Compared to other CPE10 series valves:

• CPE10-M1CH-3GL-M7:​ 3/2 normally closed, M7 ports (this model)

• CPE10-M1CH-3OL-M7:​ 3/2 normally open function

• CPE10-M1CH-5LS-M7:​ 5/2 monostable function

• CPE10-M1BH-3GL-M7:​ Different coil type (2-pin connection)

• CPE10-M1CH-3GL-1/8:​ Same function but with 1/8" ports

The normally closed function​ and M7 port size​ make this model suitable for applications requiring compact size with standard flow performance.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation:​ Cylinder control in assembly lines

• Packaging Machinery:​ Actuation control for packaging equipment

• Process Control:​ Directional control in process systems

• Material Handling:​ Conveyor and sorting system control

• Test Equipment:​ Pneumatic circuit control in test stands

• Medical Equipment:​ Compact pneumatic control systems

• Robotics:​ End-effector control in robotic applications

Important Selection & Installation Notes

1. Valve Function:​ This is a normally closed (NC) valve. In de-energized state, port 1 is blocked, port 2 is exhausted to port 3. Ensure this flow pattern matches your application requirements.

2. Operating Pressure:​ Minimum 2.5 bar pilot pressure required for reliable operation. Do not exceed 10 bar maximum operating pressure.

3. Electrical Connection:​ 4-pin M8x1 plug connection. Ensure proper wiring according to manufacturer's pinout diagram.

4. Pneumatic Connections:​ M7 threaded ports. Use appropriate fittings and ensure proper sealing. Do not overtighten (max 0.4 Nm torque).

5. Air Quality:​ Use filtered compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 [7:4:4]. Lubricated operation is possible but requires consistent lubrication if used.

6. Mounting:​ Through-hole mounting with M3 screws. Ensure proper alignment and avoid mechanical stress on the valve body.

7. Flow Direction:​ Flow direction is non-reversible. Port 1 is supply, port 2 is working port, port 3 is exhaust.

8. Switching Frequency:​ Maximum switching frequency depends on system conditions. For high-frequency applications, consult technical documentation.

9. Temperature Range:​ Do not operate outside -5°C to +50°C range. For extreme temperatures, consider special variants.

10. Maintenance:​ Regular inspection recommended. Check for air leaks and proper electrical connection periodically.
