Solenoid Coils

Festo Solenoid Coils

Festo solenoid coils are engineered to deliver consistent, high-performance actuation in pneumatic valve applications. Whether used in standard industrial conditions or in hazardous environments, these coils support efficient valve switching with long service life and high repeatability. They mount easily onto solenoid-actuated valve bodies and allow tool-free replacement to minimise system downtime. 

These coils cover a broad range of voltages (for example 12 V DC, 24 V DC, 110 V AC or 230 V AC) and support standard plug connections and mounting interfaces. They are suitable for many valve series from Festo, offering flexibility in system design and upgrade paths. 

⭐ Important: These solenoid coils provide fast switching, broad voltage support, tool-free replacement, and optional explosion-proof certification — making them ideal for demanding automation settings.

Design & Functionality

The solenoid coil functions by converting electrical input into magnetic force that actuates the valve spool via the armature. Many variants allow full 360° rotation on the armature or incremental 45° adjustment for optimum installation orientation. 

Available variants include:
• Standard solenoid coils for ambient industrial use
• High-voltage AC/DC allowable coils (24 V, 48 V, 110/230 V)
• Explosion-proof (ATEX, EX-series) coils for hazardous zones
• Variants with different plug patterns (DIN 43650 / EN 175301)
These choices give system designers flexibility to match actuators to system voltage, control systems and safety requirements. 

⭐ Important: The ability to integrate explosion-proof variants and standard replacements ensures safety and compatibility in both general and hazardous industrial environments.

Total Crossed Beams

(Applied to the coverage of coil series and their applications)
The portfolio of solenoid coils covers virtually all electrical actuation needs for Festo valve families—ensuring that every machine builder can find a coil variant to match their valve, voltage, and installation orientation requirements. This broad coverage simplifies spare-part management and global standardisation.

Beam Pitch Options

(Translated as: voltage options, certification levels, mounting formats)
Key variants include:
• Voltage Options: DC (12 V, 24 V) and AC (24 V, 48 V, 110 V, 230 V)
• Certification/Environment Options: Standard industrial, IP65 protection, explosion-proof ATEX/IECEx versions
• Mounting Options: Standard knurled nut mounting, plug socket mounting, patterns per EN 175301 / DIN 43650, any orientation mounting
This ensures the coil can be tailored for low-power control, high-voltage switching, hazardous-area compliance, or compact installations depending on the application’s demands.

⭐ Important: These broad options ensure optimal pairing of coil, valve and control system in every installation scenario.

Intrinsic Synchronism

Internal design features ensure minimal variation in actuation time and consistent magnetic response irrespective of orientation. The coils are designed to mount in any position while maintaining performance. This reliability supports stable switching behaviour, reducing machine variability and improving system repeatability.
