Festo 379329 — Vacuum Generator Solenoid Coil

Festo · Vacuum generator · Solenoid coil · Spare part

379329 is the Festo catalog number for a solenoid coil used on a Festo vacuum generator. The coil energises the integrated pilot valve that switches the generator's compressed-air supply — without that pulse of air, the venturi cannot pull vacuum, and the downstream pick-and-place or suction-cup fixture goes limp. On a typical packaging / pick-and-place line that uses Festo vacuum generators at every station, a failed coil is a station-level stop, not a line-level stop, but it is still a stop.

KOEED stocks the 379329 coil as a field-replaceable spare. The replacement itself is a 2-minute job — release the retaining nut, swap the coil, re-energise — so a working spare on the shelf turns a vacuum station stop into a single-station momentary blip. We ship worldwide with a 24-hour quote turnaround on business days.

Key Specifications

Datasheet Highlights

• Solenoid coil designed for continuous duty on a Festo vacuum generator pilot valve — the right thermal class and winding design for an industrial cycle rate (many cycles per second on a high-speed pick-and-place line)
• Field-replaceable without disturbing the air circuit — the swap is a retaining-nut release plus a connector unplug, not a pipe wrench on the venturi body
• Standard Festo plug pattern on the electrical side, so the existing M12 / M8 connector and cable drop over without re-wiring
• Coil failure is the most common vacuum-generator fault in service, well ahead of venturi wear or silencer clogging — so it is the part to keep on the shelf
• Always keep a matched spare per station; the line that does not stock this coil is the line that loses a shift to a five-minute failure

Typical Applications

• Vacuum pick-and-place on factory automation packaging and assembly lines
• End-of-arm suction-cup tooling on robot cells (Festo generator mounted to the EOAT)
• Cardboard / blister / tray denesting and feeding stations
• Pick-and-place on electronics assembly (PCB handling, label placement)
• Maintenance-team hot-standby spare for any line that runs Festo vacuum generators on a high cycle rate

Warranty & Authenticity

Each 379329 coil is bench-tested for continuity and insulation, then packed in anti-static export packaging. We provide a 90-day functional warranty covering DOA and confirmed defects. KOEED is a China sourcing company for industrial automation spares — we are not an authorised Festo distributor and we do not represent the OEM. We do stand behind every part we ship, with a 24-hour quote turnaround on business days and worldwide shipping via DHL or FedEx.
