Name: Festo 562879 Solenoid valve VOFC-L-M32C-MC-N14-1UK4-EX4ME
Brand: Festo

Solenoid valve VOFC-L-M32C-MC-N14-1UK4-EX4ME

The Festo 562879 is a pilot-actuated piston poppet valve featuring a 3/2 closed, monostable electrical actuation design with internal pilot air supply and a soft sealing principle. This component delivers a standard nominal flow rate of 900 l/min across a working pressure range of 2 to 8 bar, or 0 to 8 bar when utilizing external pilot air, and supports Safety Integrity Level (SIL) ratings up to SIL4 in both high and low demand modes. It is constructed with a 6 mm nominal size, IP65 protection class, mechanical spring reset, non-reversible flow direction, and an assembly position of any, achieving a 20 ms switching time on and a 12 ms switching time off.

Why 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.

Engineering context

Identification and RFQ Guidance

Confirm the exact configuration

Use the manufacturer part number and model code—not appearance alone. Connection, size, material, voltage, pressure, seal, and control options can differ within the same product family.

What to include in your RFQ

Provide quantity, delivery country and ZIP/postal code, required condition, target date, and photographs of the existing nameplate when available.
