Festo
161981
Proportional directional control valve MPYE-5-3/8-420-B
The Festo 161981 is an electrical piston gate valve featuring a 5/3-way closed valve function, a 10 mm nominal width, and direct type of control with a hard sealing principle. It operates within a pressure range of 0 bar to 10 bar, delivers a normal nominal flow rate of 2000 l/min, and incorporates a magnetic spring reset method with a safety position that approaches the blocked mid-position if the power supply cable breaks. Powered by a DC operating voltage range of 17 V to 30 V with 4–20 mA setpoint and actual values, this non-reversible component functions in any mounting position.

Request a QuoteWhy no listed price?
Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.
