Valve Function and Voltage
The Festo VSVA-B-B52-ZH-A1-3AC1 is a 5/2 bistable solenoid valve designed for pneumatic systems that require electrical actuation at 230 V AC. It suits engineers and technicians who need a piston gate valve with a 26 mm valve size and a G1/4 pneumatic working port for standard compressed air installations.
Installation Notes
The valve mounts in any position and carries an IP65 NEMA 4 degree of protection, so it resists dust and water jets in industrial environments. A red LED provides signal status display for quick wiring verification. Ensure pilot pressure stays between 3 bar and 10 bar and that the supply voltage remains within the permissible fluctuations of -15 % / +10 %.
Sustained Operation
The valve is rated for a 100 % duty cycle, allowing continuous energisation without overheating. Changeover time is 18 ms, and the coil draws 2.9 VA initial power before settling to 2.1 VA holding power at 50/60 Hz. Standard nominal flow rate reaches 1100 l/min, while the pneumatic valve flow rate is 1400 l/min under sustained load.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the Festo VSVA-B-B52-ZH-A1-3AC1 is operating correctly after installation?
Apply 230 V AC power and watch the built-in LED signal status display illuminate; the valve should shift within 18 ms and deliver up to 1100 l/min at 16 bar working pressure.
What comes in the box with the VSVA-B-B52-ZH-A1-3AC1 and what must I source separately?
The box contains one complete 26 mm piston gate valve (part 547234) with G1/4 ports, IP65 coil and LED; you must supply 230 V AC power, compressed air at 3–10 bar pilot pressure and suitable tubing or sub-base.
Which version of the VSVA-B-B52-ZH-A1-3AC1 should I choose for a 230 V AC system needing bidirectional flow control?
This single model is a 5/2 bistable valve with 230 V AC coil (50/60 Hz, 2.9 VA inrush, 2.1 VA hold), integrated flow-control exhaust option and 9 mm nominal width — select it when those exact specifications match your circuit.
