Official Part Number 573797
GTIN Standard 4052568221010

Technical Overview

The Festo VUWG-L10A-P53C-M3 (Part Number 573797) is a highly compact, pneumatically actuated in-line directional control valve. Featuring a 5/3-way, mid-position closed valve configuration, this piston gate valve is designed for precision pneumatic automation. Despite its small 10 mm footprint, it delivers an impressive standard nominal flow rate of 90 l/min. The valve operates efficiently across an extensive pressure range of -0.9 to 10 bar, making it fully compatible with both vacuum and high-pressure applications. Constructed with an anodised aluminium housing and soft HNBR/NBR sealing, it guarantees durability under moderate corrosion stress (CRC 2) and operates with exceptionally fast switching times.

Key Features

  • Valve function: 5/3-way, mid-position closed
  • Extremely compact 10 mm size delivering 90 l/min standard nominal flow rate
  • Wide operating pressure range (-0.9 bar to 10 bar) supporting vacuum operations
  • Robust anodised aluminium housing with HNBR/NBR soft seals
  • Reversible flow direction with mechanical spring reset mechanism
  • Rapid switching speeds (7 ms ON, 19 ms OFF)

2. Vacuum End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Systems

Featuring an operating pressure range that handles down to -0.9 bar, this valve serves as a direct control mechanism for vacuum suction cups on material handling systems.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the need for separate vacuum and pressure valve arrays by natively supporting reversible flow and sub-atmospheric vacuum operations.
