(edit: google is a blast, they list about 15 links for the terms 13026684 festo, and one of them is on my own web page!)

Sorry for the delay and had to make sure it was ok for me to post his information here gotta keep sponsors happy :D

To get the 09 style single solenoid 13026684 you can call:

Alan from Eastern Bearings Inc.
Phone: 860-290-4894 or for out of state 800-233-6885
You will need a credit card and they will drop ship directly to you. I believe he said expedited shipping is available at an additional charge.

They are a FESTO distributor but if you want a different solenoid please have your part # before you call. They normally dont do much in the "small order retail" but i explained to him the situation and trouble getting legal solenoids and he said he would be happy to help.

Don't bother asking about the 24v 2010 KOP solenoid it has an MSRP of $178 so for them you have to go through festo corporate to get them for the $70ish price and wait until FEB 2nd or the 9th

Hope this helps a few teams!!!

Edit: P.S. Tell them you were refered by the forums!

Do not try to order the whole assembly, e.g. SY3149-6XX-01T. It will tell you SMC has nothing in stock and they have to ship from Japan which takes 2-3 weeks.

Thanks to Jsasaki who pointed out the link to the SMC site for FIRST teams. It gave me the idea that you have to order the two parts separately. I want SY3140-6XX and only SY3140-6L or SY3140-6LZ are in stock in the US. The other one SY3000-27-1T is available. I don't know if SY3000-27-1T comes with the gasket (goes between the two items) or not. I asked them to check the gasket part number SY3000-11-8 but they can not find it in the catalog. None of the distributor I talked to stock these items. They just place the order to SMC for you.

This is a single solenoid valve 12V system with 1/8" NPT thread with Cv=0.3 which is legal to use for FIRST this year. You can order them from Motion Industries or Fastenal. The price is about the same. I hope this helps.

If you have any questions, I can try to help. Good luck.

Here is an update. The SMC valve SY3140-6LZ I ordered came with the gasket and the fasteners. I was also told the gasket part number in the catalog is wrong. We connected it today and it worked great. However it was not without struggle. First, a brand new spike relay did not work, then we found out a brand new digital sidecar relay zone did not work, then we found out a brand new Festo valve from 2009 KOP did not work. We swapped the SMC valve in and it worked great. We wasted about half a day because of these problems.

So from reading this thread I understand that the Festo 13026684 is ok to use this year 2010? I can not find the date sheet for this valve.

Thanks

yup.

Re: Have you ordered extra solenoids?

Just off the phone with Festo. I ordered on 2/4 (so you would have thought they'd have them by now) and they won't be delivered until 2/18!!! Apparently, they've just got them in and are working on them. The customer service rep said they've been getting a lot of phone calls about the delivery dates and our robot ship dates.

Back to the drawing table,
