Festo Quick Exhaust Valve x 10 bar Male A Threaded B Threaded 1/4 in VBQF-U-G18-E

Festo VBQF-U-G18-E Quick Exhaust Valve is designed for pneumatic systems operating between 0.5 to 10 bar, featuring connection sizes of 1/8 in male thread (A) and 1/4 in threaded (B).

This valve accelerates piston return stroke speeds by effectively reducing back pressure in single-acting and double-acting drives. The lightweight yet robust aluminium and die cast zinc construction ensures durability in harsh industrial environments.

The valve incorporates nitrile rubber seals which resist distortion under high pressure, assuring reliability and longevity. Its wide operating temperature range from -20°C to 80°C makes it suitable for varied industrial climates.

Compatible with both lubricated and non-lubricated compressed air, this valve supports versatility in pneumatic system design. The high exhaust flow rate of 1,300 litres per minute ensures faster operating speeds, improving overall system efficiency.

Mounting flexibility allows installation directly on the supply port of pneumatic drives in any position; however, continuous rotation should be avoided to maintain functionality. Common applications include automated production lines, warehousing, packing, and the food and beverage industries, where reliable high-speed pneumatic operation is critical.
