Product Overview

The FESTO OVEL-10-L-15-PQ-VQ6-UA-C-A-H3​ is a compact vacuum generator​ from the OVEL series, designed for industrial automation and material handling applications. This model features a 10mm nominal Laval nozzle​ (actual diameter 0.95mm), 15mm construction width, and G1/4 threaded pneumatic ports. It includes an integrated vacuum sensor with 0-10V analog output, 24V DC operation, and spring return functionality. The "L" designation indicates high suction volume characteristics, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid workpiece pickup and release cycles.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on FESTO OVEL series technical documentation. The "OVEL-10-L-15-PQ-VQ6-UA-C-A-H3" model specifically indicates 10mm nozzle, L-type vacuum, 15mm width, G1/4 ports, and H3 electrical connection. Actual specifications may vary slightly depending on production batch.

Model Number Decoding

• OVEL:​ Series designation (OVEL vacuum generator series)

• 10:​ Nominal width of Laval nozzle (10mm category, actual 0.95mm)

• L:​ Vacuum type (L = High Suction Volume)

• 15:​ Construction width (15mm)

• PQ:​ Port configuration (P = supply port, Q = exhaust configuration)

• VQ6:​ Pneumatic port type (VQ6 = G1/4 threaded ports)

• UA:​ Sensor type (UA = analog vacuum sensor)

• C:​ Control type (C = standard control)

• A:​ Additional function (A = with ejector pulse)

• H3:​ Electrical connection type (H3 plug system)

Key Features

• High Suction Volume (L-Type):​ Optimized for rapid workpiece pickup with faster evacuation compared to H-type (high vacuum)

• Integrated Vacuum Sensor:​ 0-10V analog output for real-time vacuum monitoring and closed-loop control

• Compact Design:​ 15mm width for space-constrained installations

• G1/4 Threaded Ports:​ Standard industrial pneumatic connections

• 24V DC Operation:​ Compatible with standard industrial control systems

• Ejector Pulse Function:​ Quick workpiece release capability

• Manual Override:​ Non-detenting manual operation for testing and maintenance

• IP40 Protection:​ Basic dust protection for industrial environments

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation:​ Workpiece handling and material transfer systems

• Robotics:​ End-of-arm tooling for pick-and-place operations

• Packaging Machinery:​ Product handling and positioning

• Assembly Systems:​ Component feeding and placement

• Electronics Manufacturing:​ PCB handling and component placement

• Automotive Assembly:​ Part handling and transfer operations

• Test and Inspection Equipment:​ Workpiece fixturing

Important Technical Notes

1. Nozzle Size:​ The "10" designation refers to nominal width category; actual Laval nozzle diameter is 0.95mm

2. Vacuum Type:​ L-type provides higher suction volume (faster evacuation) but lower ultimate vacuum compared to H-type

3. Operating Pressure:​ Do not exceed 7 bar maximum operating pressure

4. Electrical Requirements:​ 24V DC power supply required; sensor output is 0-10V analog

5. Air Quality:​ Use filtered compressed air according to ISO 8573-1:2010 standards

6. Mounting:​ Through-hole mounting with M3 screws; ensure proper alignment

7. Temperature Limits:​ Operating temperature range 0°C to +50°C (ambient and medium)

Note: For complete installation guidelines, dimensional drawings, and detailed technical data, consult the official FESTO OVEL Series Technical Manual. Always verify the exact model number configuration with the manufacturer, as notation variations may occur.
