Air Solenoid Valve for Zund 1K router

Air Solenoid Valve Festo MHE2 (196132) – Zünd 1K Router

The Festo MHE2-M1H-3/2G-M7-K solenoid valve (OEM ref 196132) is the 3/2 direct-acting valve used on the Zünd 1K Router to control the vacuum and compressed-air circuits of the cutting bed and tool modules.

Built around a pressure-balanced poppet seat, it gives ultra-short switching times (7 ms opening, 3.5 ms closing) and accepts up to 130 Hz switching frequency, for precise vacuum hold-down during cutting. Supplied as a complete assembly with coil, non-detented manual override and 2.5 m integrated cable — a like-for-like replacement for the factory Festo component.
