About the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130C-06-B
The 4V130C-06B is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve from the compact AirTAC 4V100 series, configured with a closed center. When both coils are de-energized, the spool blocks all ports, holding the attached double-acting cylinder in position to prevent drift under light, stable loads. This model uses a 1/8-inch PT port and a DC24V coil drawing just 2.8 W, keeping control-panel power budgets low.
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a response time of 0.05 s or less, it is sized for small-bore pneumatic actuators roughly in the Ø16-32 mm range. The aluminum-alloy body weighs 200 g and is IP65 rated, making it suitable for terminal-box wiring in compact automation cells.

Flow & Coil Options
| Effective area | 8.6 mm² |
|---|---|
| Flow coefficient | Cv 0.51 |
| Response time | ≤ 0.05 s |
| Coil power | AC 3.5 VA · DC24V 2.8 W · DC12V 2.5 W |

Where the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130C-06-B Is Used
Pick-and-Place Z-Axis Hold
A small gripper on a vertical Z-axis stops mid-stroke when the valve centers, holding the part at an intermediate height for a vision inspection step before placing.
Benchtop Liquid Dispensing
In a lab automation setup, a 5/3 closed-center valve halts a dispensing cylinder's piston instantly, preventing drips between dispense cycles by locking the actuator in place.
Clamp & Hold Fixture
A small pneumatic clamp on a rotary indexing table is held closed by the valve's blocked center during a drilling operation, maintaining clamp force without continuous coil power.
Is the Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130C-06-B the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V130C-06B when your application needs a small double-acting cylinder to stop and hold mid-stroke on loss of signal, without drifting to an end position. The closed-center spool blocks air at all ports at rest. If your cylinder is larger than about 32 mm bore or you need a higher flow, step up to the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) for faster actuation.
For direct drop-in replacement, match five points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 closed-center function (30C), the 1/8-inch port with PT thread, a DC24V coil, and the standard terminal-box electrical entry. This valve can also be mounted on a manifold base if you are building a multi-valve bank.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center
- ✓ Coil voltage (DC24 / AC220 …)
- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac 4V100 Solenoid Valve 4V130C-06-B FAQ
The 5/3 closed-center spool in the 4V100 body has an effective area of 8.6 mm², which corresponds to a Cv of approximately 0.51. This flow rate is well-suited for driving small double-acting cylinders with bores roughly in the Ø16 to Ø32 mm range.
When both solenoids are de-energized, the spring-centered spool moves to the closed-center position. All cylinder ports are blocked, trapping air on both sides of the piston. This holds the cylinder at its current position, but it is not a safety lock for suspended loads—add a pilot-operated check valve if load holding is a safety requirement.
