538196

Hand lever valve VHER-BH-M04C-G12-LD

The Festo 538196 is a 900 g industrial component featuring a 4/3 closed valve function and a rotary slide valve design structure with a 12 mm nominal size. This direct-piloted manual actuator delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 3,500 l/min across a working pressure range of -0.95 to 10 bar, utilizing a hard sealing principle and reversible flow direction with freedom from overlap and throttleable exhaust-air function. Built with a CRC 2 corrosion resistance classification, it operates within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 80 °C, requires an actuation torque of 5 Nm, and supports optional mounting via front panel installation or through holes using compressed air in accordance with ISO8573-1:2010 [7:4:4].
