The AirTAC Airtac 4V Solenoid Valves 4V130E06FT is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with 130E06FT ports and an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The AirTAC 4V130E-06FT is a 5/3-way double solenoid valve from the compact 4V100 family, configured here with 1/8in NPT ports, a DC12V coil and a terminal-box entry. Its exhaust center is the defining trait: with both coils off, cylinder ports A and B vent to atmosphere, so a double-acting actuator floats freely and can be positioned by hand, which is handy for setup and jog moves. Each working position flows Cv 0.51 (8.6 mm2 effective area), enough for Dia16-32 mm cylinders at modest cycle rates. The 12 V DC coil draws only 2.5 W, a good fit for battery-fed cabinets and mobile machinery where no 24 V rail exists. Spool travel completes in 0.05 s or less, the aluminum-alloy body weighs 200 g, and a manual override lets you actuate the valve during maintenance without electrical power.

Size the valve so effective area / Cv is not the bottleneck for your cylinder bore and speed. Undersized valves slow the actuator. Note 5/3 (center) versions have a smaller effective area than the 5/2 of the same body size.

On a 12 V warehouse AGV lifting totes with a Dia20 mm parallel gripper (about 16 kgf at 0.5 MPa), the 2.5 W coil keeps the battery budget small, and the floating center lets an operator slide the gripper by hand while teaching load positions.
A lab fixture with a Dia16 mm swing cylinder (roughly 10 kgf at 0.5 MPa) uses the exhaust center so technicians can reposition the part manually between automated strokes; NPT ports accept standard US instrumentation tubing.
A reject flap on a snack-food packaging conveyor, driven by a Dia25 mm cylinder (about 25 kgf at 0.5 MPa), pulses between positions at up to 3 cycles per second; coils off means the flap swings free so jammed product can be cleared during a stoppage.
Step up to the 4V200 body (Cv 1.0) once the bore grows past Dia32 mm or the cycle needs more speed than 8.6 mm2 can feed; the neighboring M5-port version of this same 4V100 body shares the Cv 0.51 rating but locks you into M5 fittings, so keep 1/8in NPT for rugged metal tubing. On the actuator side, a Dia25 mm bore delivers roughly 25 kgf push at 0.5 MPa and sits comfortably in this valve's class, while Dia32 mm (about 41 kgf) is the practical ceiling before stepping up. Ordering a spare? Match all five points: 4V100 body, function 30E, 1/8in NPT thread, DC12V coil, terminal-box entry.
Quick checklist
Each working position flows Cv 0.51 (8.6 mm2 effective area), switching in 0.05 s or less at up to 3 cycles per second. Operating pressure is 0.15-0.8 MPa (proof 1.2 MPa), media must be air filtered to 40 um, temperature range is -20 to +70 C, the DC12V coil draws 2.5 W, and the aluminum body weighs 200 g. Protection is IP65 (DIN40050) with class B insulation.
That looseness is the exhaust center doing its job: both cylinder ports vent, so a double-acting actuator floats and can be moved by hand. It is not a load holder - for a suspended load add pilot-operated check valves at the cylinder ports or a mechanical brake. When ordering a replacement, match the 4V100 body, function 30E, 1/8in NPT thread, DC12V coil and terminal-box entry exactly.
