VMPA2-M1H-K-PI

Product information

Product Overview

VMPA is the valve module family for Festo’s MPA-S valve terminal. The modules carry the directional control valve functions and plug into the MPA-S manifold, which also takes the electrical linking and electronics modules in the same family. This is the range used when a machine needs a modular, serviceable bank of valves with individual module replacement.

This page covers VMPA2-M1H-K-PI — Festo type code VMPA2-M1H-K-PI, order number 537957. Everything below is taken from Festo’s own product data for this order number: the technical values, the category path, the GTIN and the lifecycle notice are all reproduced from the manufacturer’s page rather than paraphrased, so you can check them against Festo’s documentation before you buy.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

• Modular valve modules for the MPA-S valve terminal — replace one module, not the whole terminal
• Function variants include 3/2-way and 2×3/2-way valves, normally open and normally closed, with different reset methods
• The same terminal family carries the electrical linking modules, electronics modules and pressure sensors, so the whole valve island comes from one system
• Wide range of valve functions and flow rates inside one module format
• Compact module format keeps the valve island small on the machine
• Accessories for valve terminals
• Components for electrical linking

The order number and the type code both have to match. A single character in the type code can change the valve function, the cushioning or the connection, and it always changes the order number.

Lifecycle and Availability

Festo’s product page for this order number does not currently carry a discontinuation or successor notice, so we list it as a standard catalogue item. Availability is always confirmed against Festo’s stock at the time you order — we do not keep a stock figure on this page because it would be out of date the day it was written.

Official Documentation

Every figure on this page comes from Festo. Use the manufacturer’s own documents to verify it:

• Festo official product page — VMPA2-M1H-K-PI — the source of the technical values and the lifecycle notice above.
• Festo official series catalogue (PDF) — Festo’s own catalogue for this series, including the type code breakdown and the ordering data for every variant.

Ordering This Part

Before we quote, please confirm:

• the complete Festo type code, exactly as it appears on the drawing or the nameplate — not just the series name;
• the order number if you have it, so we can cross-check the code against Festo’s catalogue;
• the quantity and the delivery address;
• for cylinders, the stroke and the mounting style, because both are fields in the order code;
• for valves and sensors, the electrical connection and the voltage, because these are fields in the order code.

Send us a photograph of the nameplate if the code is hard to read — that is usually the fastest way to avoid shipping the wrong variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the VMPA2-M1H-K-PI code describe?
VMPA is the module family for the MPA-S terminal, the number after it is the module size, and the following characters describe the actuation, the valve function and the reset method. Festo lists the function code K as 2×3/2-way, normally closed. Because the size and function are both in the code, the complete string is needed to order.

Can I replace a single VMPA module without replacing the terminal?
Yes. That is the point of the MPA-S concept: the modules mount on a common manifold, so a failed valve can be replaced on its own. Tell us the code on the module you are replacing and the terminal it sits on.

Which valve functions are available?
Festo lists 3/2-way and 2×3/2-way functions with different reset methods (pneumatic spring, mechanical spring) among the VMPA options. Give us the function you need and we will confirm the matching module code.

Is VMPA the same as VMPAL or VMPA1/VMPA2?
The family covers several module widths and variants. The exact variant matters: it determines the fit on the manifold and the flow. We quote against the code on your terminal drawing or on the existing module.
