3/2 pneumatic valve help

Check out this.

It's a gamble, but if the price can easily be beaten, it's one I would take. I didn't realise you were only dealing with 10bar.. many solenoids are rated at this because of what the coil will handle under pressure, not the rest of the valve. Well you can overvolt a coil just the same as for motors...and the vast majority are rated up to 8bar anyhow.

If you go for this and find one you want, you could re-list them either individually or with a better listing than this one anyhow.

I'm actually tempted miself, but I have a couple of festo banks already so I'd happily get out of your way. Let me know, so we don't end up in a bidding war.

True, even without overvolting the solenoid and increasing the pressure, the valve will work...most 5/2 valves are pilot operated, so the solenoid just opens a small orifice and the valve spool moves pneumatically. ...but there is so much pressure you can increase on an 8bar rated valve. At above 11 bar air will start leaking at the valve heads.
